Every once in a while some variety is introduced, with the caution not to get that other variety over the way if you want something that is entirely hardy. The Turner was at one time the only genuine hardy kind, the Brandy-wine was the only true hardy, and if the Thwack was anything at all, it was the genuine hardy, if anything was.

Now we have another "only" hardy one. "The Turner close by were nearly all killed to the ground, and but very few show any foliage a foot above the ground, and cannot bear a crop of fruit. The Brandywine, close by their side, is in very nearly the same condition and cannot bear a crop. Thwack, adjoining them, are no better, and will not produce any fruit this season."

We have no doubt of the correctness of this statement. The gentleman who gives it is well known for careful statements. But what we wish to ask is, what constitutes a hardy raspberry?
