Brandywine Raspberry. 



VARIETIES. 



We have grown and fruited 

 over fifty varieties of raspber- 

 ries, and have to say that the 

 following sorts have given us 

 the best satisfaction, and that if 

 a person cannot be suited with 

 some of them, there is no use 

 of looking further. 



We here give a fine represen- 

 tation of the Brandywine Rasp- 

 berry. From our own observe 

 vation, and experience, and all 

 we can learn about this variety, 

 we are confident it will give uni- 

 versal satisfaction as a hardy 

 plant, and an abundant yielder, 

 and so very firm that it will 

 keep to ship 800 to 1,000 miles. 

 The fruit is as large as the Hers- 

 tine ; not so conical, but more 

 globular in shape. A friend in 

 Delaware, and a large fruit 

 grower, writes us that 1,500 one 

 year old plants yielded 600 qts., 

 while 2,000 Blackcaps, one year 

 old yielded but 500 qts., and that 

 they were shipped to .New York 

 and even Boston, where they 

 sold readily for 50 to 75 cts. per 

 quart. Their bright color, fresh 

 ■appearance and fine flavor mak- 

 ing a ready sale for them. We 

 are extending our own planta- 

 tion of this sort largely.
