Wow Thanks Jack for the links...

This discussion has renewed my interest in attempting to eradicate RBDV in some rare Rubus species via TC, and thermotherapy.   something of a plague in Rubus as apparently FMV is in figs.

Look at all the ones on this ARS GRIN database that are listed as infected accessions..

I was astounded at the requested cost of the Nettleton Creamy that I got.

If you do some research it is somewhat believed that the Netteleton is actually the 'Crystal White' or a descendant there of, from Mr. John B. Orange in Albinon, OH back in 1850's !!!   This is PRIOR to Luther Burbank acquiring his "crystal white" that supposedly came from NJ.. -- Though I have HIGH suspicions it came from OH, and it was transferred back to new england with someone - I forget now and by the time Burbank hears of it.. it is requested from NJ.
  There is some amazing research that can be done on the history of the White berries.. I have numerous links to what things I have found if anyone wants...
