THE MARLBORO' RASPBERRY. 

 This new raspberry has been highly 

 recommended as very valuable on ac- 

 count of the great vigor and fruitful- 

 ness of the plant, and the large size, 

 bright color, firm texture, and very 

 early ripening of the fruit. Its quali- 

 ties are fully stated at page 196, vol. 

 vii., of the Canadian Horticulturist. 

 The plants are now oflPered for sale by 

 those nurserymen who are so fortunate 

 as to have them at one dollar each. 

 We have made an ari-angement with 

 the Rural New-Yorker to present to 

 all subscribers to both publications 

 who prefer to pay three dollars instead 

 of two dollars and sixty-five cents, as 

 mentioned in the advei-tisement on the 

 second page of the aoYer, four plants 

 of the Marlboro' raspberry //-ee of cost 

 to the subscriber. Hence we announce 

 that any person sending us three dol- 

 lars will receive both the Canadian 

 Horticulturist and the Rural New- 

 Yorker during the year 1885, and all 

 the free seed and plant distributions 

 mentioned on the second page of cover, 

 and four plants of the new Marlboro' 

 raspberry, that could not be otherwise 

 procured for less than four dollars. 

 Those of our subscribers who have al- 

 ready sent xis two dollars and sixty-five 

 cents can avail themselves of this un- 

 paralleled offer by remitting to us the 

 further sum of thirty-five cents. Were 

 ever such advantages ofiered before?
