New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. A 
omitted and no attempt has been made to group the varieties in 
regard to yield. The record of productiveness, however, is given 
in the description of each variety. 
Descriptions are given of many old varieties, together with those 
of more recent introduction. In the description of varieties, the 
source of the plants is usually given following the name of the 
variety. In many cases the plants have been secured from the 
originator or introducer in order to obtain stock true to name. The 
value of the variety is summed up with most sorts, in the closing 
sentence of the description. 
It has been thought best to arrange the varieties, as far as 
possible, in their natural groups. So arranged, similar kinds can 
be better compared both as to characters and as to behavior in the 
field. In the main the varieties are grouped in accordance with 
Card’s classification in his Bush Fruits.* 
AMERICAN RED RASPBERRIES. 
(Rubus strigosus.) 
NOTES ON VARIETIES. 
Hardiness.— Records have been made each spring in regard to 
the amount of winter injury. This varied considerably from vear 
to year, depending upon the severity of the winter, and on the con- 
dition of the wood when it went into winter quarters, ranging in 
some cases from 0 to 75 per ct. In the following lists, those 
varieties not injured over 25 per ct. in any year, and with an 
average considerably below that number, have been marked as 
hardy or nearly so, and those injured over 25 per ct. as not hardy.
