Golden Queen Raspberry. 



Yellow variety— The Queen Is 

 larger than Brinckle's Orange, 

 firmer, of a much better color;' 

 the canes are larger, more pro- 

 ductive, and the best ot all, they 

 are hardy; the lack of hardiness 

 having made Brinckle's Orange 

 an unpopular fruit. No first- 

 class home fruit garden is 

 complete without a good bed of 

 it. It is, without doubt, one of 

 the best flavored fruits we have 

 ever tasted, and this voices the 

 opinion of many who have test- 

 ed the berry on our grounds. 

 We have fruited it for many 

 years here on our grounds and 

 on different soils; the canes 

 have never been harmed in the 

 least during the winter months 

 and they have always borne an 

 immense quantity of fruit. 

 This variety is now at the head 

 of the raspberry list for table 

 use and is being planted more 

 largely each year. For some rea- 

 son our best markets discrimi- 

 nate against the yellow rasp- 

 berry, hence we do not recom- 

 mend it for that purpose. 



GOLDEN OUEEN. 



DEWBERRY. 



Plant the same as the Blackberry. 



Lucretia. — Ripens a few days in advance of the blackberry, and is 

 productive of large, fine fiavored, luscious fruit without any core. A very 

 desirable berry for the home use for all purposes, especially valuable for 

 the table, where it will be hightly appreciated for its large size, beautiful 

 color and superb flavor. It is also profitable as a market berry and is 

 grown extensively for this purpose by many large fruit growers, becom- 

 ing more popular each year. A very important consideration in the grow- 

 ing of the Dewberry, and very seldom practiced, is training the vines Ur 

 wires, very similar to the manner in which grapes are grown. It is sur- 

 prising how this fruit is improved in quality and quantity by this mode 

 of growing. You are enabled to ripen the fruit much earlier, the sun be- 

 ing allowed to reach all sides of the fruit — as it cannot do if they are al- 

 lowed to grow in the old style of trailing on the ground. Another ad- 

 vantage is the fruit can be kept perfectly clean, an important matter and" 

 very essential in the sale of fruit.
