-and of high quality. Canes vigorous and productive. An improve- 

 ment upon the popular Mammoth Cluster, which it much resembles 

 in appearance of fruit and cane. 



RED RASPBERRIES. 



Turner. — Has been well tried, and cannot be recommended too 

 highly; very productive, large size, fine color; one of the most valu- 

 able for market or home consumption. 



Cuthbert. — Hardy, very productive ; large size, conical, rich crim- 

 son, very firm, and bears shipping well. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



Oescen£,(Pistillate Plant.) — The most productive; 400 bushels have 

 been grown per acre ; larger and better than the Wilson, bright color, 

 ripens early; plants vigorous, must be fertilized by a staminate variety. 



Chas. Downing, (Staminate.) — Very productive, good size, bright 

 color, crimson, excellent quality. 



Misser. — One of the very best for home use ; rather tender for 

 shipping. 



Mount Vernon^ (Staminate.) — Excellent late berry, plants seem to 

 stand hot sun, does not rust, excellent for market; berries dark crim- 

 son and continues long in fruiting after most others are gone. 



Cumberland, (Pistillate.) — Plant, a very stocky grower with extra 

 amount of root ; berries too tender for long shipment, very large, fla- 

 vor first-class. 



Piper's Seedling, (Staminate.) — A new iron-clad, withstanding cli- 

 matic changes well, profuse bearer, quality good, bears handling well. 



Captain Jack is still of great value, both as a home-market berry 

 and for shipping. Its bright color makes it a favorite in our market; 

 it is firm and very productive. 



Miner's Prolific. — Somewhat similar to Charles Downing, but is 

 larger, darker in color and its foliage does not burn, but is clean and 

 healthy. Berries are ridged and furrowed, of mild pleasant flavor, 

 but soft for distant shipment. Very productive. Profitable for a 

 home market by reason of its productiveness. Midseason. 



James Vick. — Similar in all respects to Captain Jack, but even 

 more prolific. It is often highly profitable as a market berry, by 

 reason of its firmness and productiveness. 



Jessie. — The berry is of good size, moderately firm, not so much so
