62 DWYEK'S GUIDE, 



We have endeavored to give the verj' best list graded from a host of sorts, 

 many of which have been quite generally discarded and others that are 

 still on the list but of comparitively little value. 



RASPBERRIES— Red Varieties. 



Cuthbert. — The best late hardy Red Raspberry, a variety that adapts 

 itself to all conditions of soil and climates, succeeding admirably North, 

 South, East and West. The canes make a strong, vigorous growth and 

 are exceedingly productive of fine large, late, good flavored fruit, which 

 holds its size to the end of the season. The berries are dark crimson in 

 color and quite firm. One of the few reliable standard varieties we have 

 to-day. Valuable for home use and for market. 



King. — Round, medium size; light crimson color; moderately firm and 

 of excellent quality. One of the earliest Red Raspberries; canes strong 

 growers and very proliflic; valuable for the home table. 



Marlboro. — The canes of Marl- 

 boro are strong, hardy and productive, 

 the fruit is as large as the Cuthbert, 



crimson in color, holds out large to _ _ 



the last picking and arrives in the l^^^^^^^^^S^^''^ 



market in good condition; perhaps as T^MiS&I^^^S^^^^^»P'ffll ^^ 

 good as any berry we have in cultiva- 

 tion; grown extensively for commer- 

 cial purposes and for home use; 

 ripens early in the season. 



Miller Red Raspberry — Berry is 

 round in shape, color bright red; core 

 very small; does not crumble, making 

 it the firmest and best shipping berry 

 in existence, has a rich, fruity flavor. 

 The time of ripening is the very ear- 

 liest; good for all purposes. 



The Loudon Raspberry. — The 

 fruit is very large, exceptionally firm, 

 of fine, rich, attractive color, and of 

 the best fiavor. The canes are fully marleoro 



as large and strong as the Cuthbert. Thus far the Loudon has proved 

 entirely hardy here with us. It ripens three or four days after the Marl- 

 boro, and continues in fruiting a long time. The -fruit is very firm and 

 makes a good shipping berry; a splendid variety that should be in every 

 selection, 



Thompson's Early. — One of the best early varieties. Plant a good 

 grower and hardy. Commences to ripen before strawberries are gone. 

 A very profitable early variety to grov.' for market. 



RASPBERRIES— BLACK VARIETIES. 



Cumberland. — In hardiness and productiveness it is unexcelled by 

 any other variety. In size the fruit is simply enormous, far surpassing 

 any other sort. The berries run seven-eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of 

 an inch in diameter and are of handsome appearance. 



The bush is exceedingly healthy and vigorous, throwing out stout, 

 stocky canes, well adapted for supporting their immense load of large.
