stocky ; the fruit nearly double the siz«of the ordinary varieties, and borne in mag- 

 nificent clusters ; its quality is unsurpassed, and its season for ripening ten days after 

 all other varieties are gone. No Southern Garden should be without it." 



Ganargua. — This is claimed as a hybred of the red and black. It is one of the 

 most prolific sorts on our place. Grows like the black cap in plant and fruit, ' 

 except that fruit is purplish red, of large size and very uniform, and keeps in bearing 

 long after all of the black caps are gone. It withstands the most severe winters and 

 hottest and dryest summers of any known sort. 



Lum's Everbearing Raspberry. — Plant resembles the common black or Doolittle, 

 but is more stocky and not so tall. It never sprouts from the roots, and is increased 

 naturally, only from the tips. Fruit large, black and sweet, resembling the Doolittle 

 in size and quality at the summer fruiting, but the berries are much largerin September 

 and October, if the weather is favorable, frequently measuring three-fourths of an 

 inch in diameter. Berries commence ripening on the old wood about the first of July, 

 and the crop, according to the size of the plant, will be fully equal to the Doolittle. 

 Before the berries are all gone, new shoots will have pushed out from the base of the 

 plant, which will also be loaded with fruit, and thus a succession will be kept up 

 until late in the autumn. Not a few scattered clusters of berries, but whole stools 

 will present long clusters of fruit that will terminate nearly every branch. Plants 

 will bear fruit the same season they are set out, but not so profusely as after. If the 

 plants are all cut down close to the ground in the Spring, they will produce a larger 

 Fall crop, commencing to ripen the last of August. [The same treatment should be 

 given the Ohio Everbearing and Catawissa.] 



tie foregoing sorts are all increased from the tips of the new growth and never 

 " sucker," and none of them require winter protection. The following are increased 

 and propagated from "suckers" and mustbe grown in stools or hills cutting off all 

 suckers like weeds tnat sprout outside the hill. Thfs is easily done by having, a sharp 

 blade tooth attached to beam of cultivator, and running through them often both ways. 



Bristol. — A delicious, medium sized fruit, extremely firm, bright scarlet. It suckers 

 badly, but when kept hoed off and but four or five canes allowed to grow, proves 

 very productive. (See page 43.) 



Philadelphia. — This has proved perfectly hardy with us, and on account of its 

 wonderful bearing qualities every year, should be found in every family and market 

 garden. Our bushes were loaded to the ground the past two seasons, and that, too, 

 after one of the most severe winters, and in the midst of one of the longest drouths 

 we have had for years. Fruit medium in size, and of fair quality. 



Clark.— Another highly valuable sort, which has proved perfectly hardy with us. 

 Bush, a strong, rank grower. Fruit, large size, beautiful light scarlet, and of the 

 most delicious flavor. Commences to ripen with the earliest, and keeps in bearing 

 until late in Summer. It will prove one of the most valuable market sorts we know 

 of, not only on account of the above valuable qualities, but for its great bearing 

 qualities! 



Franconia. — One of the old reliable and profitable sorts. Fruit large, glossy 

 scarlet, delicious flavor, and great yielder. Bequires protection where the peach does 

 not stand the winter. 



Highland Hardy or Kirtland.— A very fine, medium sized, red sort. Has proved 

 hardy and very productive. Earliest of all, and picked in a few days' time, thereby 

 making it one of the most profitable of the old tried sorts, especially for Southern 

 localities to ship North. (See page 43.) 



Thwack.— Stands very high at the Southwest as a firm, abundant yielding market 

 berry.
