Probably the confusion stemmed
from a lack of knowledge of the
appearance of Lowland Raspberry
if grown at Arlington, insufficient
information as to the detailed varietal
characteristics of this apple and its
range of variation grown under
varying conditions, also a lack 
of informaton regarding the characteristics
of other varieties similar in
general type.  So far as the accession
records now show, Lowland Raspberry
was not knowingly planted in the
Arlington orchard; if it was actually
there it was the result of planting
misnamed stock.  The fruit borne
by the trees of lots above listed had
some rewemblence to Lowland
Raspberry, hence was tentatively so
designated, with reservations, the latter
being largely disregarded in later considerations.

As to the accession records:
No. 3033 was received as scions from 
Henry A. Hope, Point, Ohio, Apr. 5, 1902
under the name Switzer No. 24492 from Maiden Blush from W. J. Wragg - La.
No. 3096 was received as scions from
Prof. L.R. Taft, East Lansing, Mich, Apr. 7, 1902
as Switzer.
No. 3108 came as scions also from
Prof. Taft. 4/7/02 under the name
Victuals and Drink.
