 of Italian gardeners as Ranere. Later introduced by J. T. Lovett

Red Antwerp (Old Red Antwerp, Knevett's Antwerp, True Red 

 Antwerp, Rowland's Red Antwerp, Frambosier a Gros Fruit, Bur- 

 ley) (F). One of the oldest European varieties. It is supposed to 

 have derived its name from the city of Antwerp, in Belgium, though 

 the plant itself is said to have come from the Island of Malta. It is 

 one of the best of the European sorts, and is still grown, even for 

 market, in the United States. Described as having strong, long, 

 yellowish green canes, slightly glaucous, tinged with purple, cov- 

 ered with dark brown bristles. Bearing wood nearly smooth. Fruit 

 large, conical, dark red, rich and sweet. Many other varieties have 

 received this name at times. It is figured in the Report of the United 

 States Department of Agriculture for 1866.
