TYLER RASPBERRY. 



enthusiasm, is about to uproot a fine 

 young plantation of other varieties and 

 replant with Tyler. In the Auburn 

 markets it commands an average of 

 three cents per quart more than other 

 varieties on account of its quality and 

 Iiandsome appearance. 1 think it is by 

 far the best berry of its season and 

 effectually displaces the Doolittle and 

 Thornless, thus supplying a long felt 

 want, and I have no doubt that as soon 

 as it becomes better known it will be 

 planted more extensively than any 

 other, and I see no reason why its merits 

 should not be made known, as were 

 those of many inferior sorts that are now 

 being puffed and lauded through the 

 country. The Gregg, our best late sort, 

 commences to ripen at about the last 

 picking of Tyler, and thus by planting 

 these two varieties the season may be 

 greatly prolonged, while I believe that 

 two more profitable sorts can not be 



grown. — J. E. Burr, m the Indiana 

 Farmer. 



Mr, Tyler, speaks of his child thus : — 

 " It was larger than Davison's Thornless, 

 averaging about the size of Mammoth 

 Cluster, and that he had raised specimens 

 of it that were larger than any Mammoth 

 Cluster he had ever seen ; it is the most 

 regular in shape and uniform in size of 

 any berry he had ever seen ; jet black in 

 color with very little bloom ; in quality 

 pronounced by all who have tasted them 

 to be far superior to either Doolittle, 

 Davison's Thornless, Seneca, or Mammoth 

 Cluster; ripens fully as early or earlier than 

 Davison's Thornless, and continues in bear- 

 ing till two or three weeks after Mammoth 

 Cluster is all gone and gives to the last not 

 a few scattering berries, but good picking. 

 In a compartive test of the same nun^l^ 

 of plants each of Davison's Thomleai, f^i^^ 

 Tylor, all growing side by side, of «^an^o
