rich soil, and especially where superior hardiness is requisite, it may fairly be accorded 

 the leading position among varieties of its class. 



Reder originated in Southwestern Michigan. The plant is somewhat lacking in 

 vigor, and produces comparatively few suckers, but in size and quality the fruit has 

 very few, if any, superiors, or even equals, among the red varieties. 



Brinckle (Brinckle's Orange) is a pure Ida?us seedling, originated in a Philadelphia 

 city garden, many years since, by the once noted amateur horticulturist whose name it 

 bears. It is a prince among raspberries, so far as both quality and beauty are con- 

 cerned, but, sad to say, it is also one of the most tender, and must have protection even 

 in ordinary winters. 



Superb is a New Jersey seedling, which was brought to notice at the same time with 

 Hansell. It ripens very nearly with Hansell. The berry is much larger, often fully 

 seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. It is high-flavored, like most of the strigosus 

 class, to which it belongs; and the pips or grains are so loosely put together that it is 

 diflBcult to pick the berries without crumbling. The color, also, is quite too dark to 

 suit the popular taste. 



Cuthbert is a native of Riverdale, New York. Although not entirely hardy, it is one 

 of the hardiest of its class; which fact, together with its healthy, persistent foliage, its 

 vigor and productiveness, and the pleasant flavor and superior handling quality of its 

 fruit, have won for it a high position both as a family and a market fruit. 



Golden Queen possesses all the desirable qualities of the Cuthbert, both of plant and 

 fruit, which is bright yellow when ripe. It is said to have been discovered in a plat of 

 Cuthbert plants, and is supposed to be a sport from that variety. 



Herstine takes its name from its originator, a Mr. Herstine of Pennsylvania. It lacks 

 hardiness, and is also slightly deficient in productiveness; while in size, brightness of 

 color, and also in quality, it can hardly be said to have a superior. 



Caroline was originated at New Rochelle, N. Y. It is supposed to be a hybrid 

 between Brinckle and a Golden Cap, and possesses several peculiarities apparently sus- 

 taining this assumption. It may be propagated by both suckers and '* tips."' It is 

 extremely hardy, and enormously productive, too much so for the size and quality of
