The Brandy wine, or Wilmington, red raspberry has astrong-growing bush, but, owing to its susceptibility to beingwinter killed it is not productive in northern localities. Thefruit is of medium quality, and ripens in mid-season. The Turner red raspberry has a very strong-growing andvery hardy bush.

These districts have nothing to do withthe state or provincial boundaries but consist of territoryadapted, because of its natural conditions, to the growing offruits. In making up these districts due consideration wasgiven to the influence of latitude, elevation, prevailing winds,and the nearness to oceans and lakes. These eighteen districtsare plainly outlined and numbered on the map that is shownin Fig. 5. The following list of varieties, arranged by districts, givesunder each division the varieties of red raspberries that areknown to succeed in that division, or district. The varietiesgiven in Italic are known to be highly successful in the divisionsin which they occur. The first time the name of a variety isgiven its less common name is put after it in parent
