THOMPSON'S EARLY PROLIFIC. 



RED RASPBERRIES. 



THOMPSON'S EARLY PROLIFIC. Probably 

 the best early red raspberry for general cultivation 

 that we now have. The plant is an excellent 

 grower; canes erect, stout and hardy. Berries 

 are medium to large in size, of a bright crimson 

 color, very productive. It is the earliest red rasp- 

 berry we have seen, coming into bearing just as 

 the strawberry season is over. Price, 60c. per 

 doz., $4.00 per 100. 



CUTHBERT. The leading market variety ; proved 

 of such general adaptability. Canes hardy and of 

 strong, rampant growth, with large, healthy foli- 

 age, and exceedingly productive. Bei-ries large, 

 dark crimson, quite firm and of good flavor. Sea- 

 son late. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



MARLBORO. The largest of the early red rasp- 

 berries, ripening a few days later than Hansell. 

 The canes are hardy and fairly productive. Fruit 

 exceedingly large, bright crimson, and of fair qual- 

 ity. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



TURNER. (Southern Thornless.) Extremely hardy 

 and desirable as an early sort for the home garden, 

 but too soft for market purposes. The canes make 

 a strong, healthy growth and are very productive. 

 Berries of good size, bright crimson color, soft and 

 of honeyed sweetness. The plants sucker im- 

 moderately, and these should be treated as weeds. 

 Early. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



YELLOW RASPBERRY. 



Golden Queen. The most popular and best yellow 

 Raspberry yet introduced. Of large size, great 

 beauty, high quality, hardiness and productive- 

 ness. Fully equal to Cuthbert in size of fruit and 

 vigor of growth. Price, 10c. each, 50c. per doz., 

 $3.00 per 100. 



INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 



A Gooseberry • possessing desirable qualities for 

 table and market has long been a desideratum. The 

 foreign varieties, wherever tried, have either mil- 



dewed more or less, or they have made an unsatisfactory growth. Hence a large, 

 handsome sort of good quality has been much sought after. Although a foreign 

 sort, it has done admirably for many seasons, being a vigorous grower and an im- 

 mense yielder, and showing no signs of mildew. We confidently recommend it for 

 the garden and market, being unequaled for size, flavor, productiveness and vigor- 

 ous growth. Colo*-, dark red. 2-year, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



-• DOWNING GOOSEBERRY. • 



The best of the American sorts and a vast improvement upon the Houghton, of 

 which it is a seedling. Fruit large, pale green, and of excellent quality, both for 

 cooking and table use. Bashes stocky, vigorous, hardy, very prolific, and nearly 

 free from mildew, but densely clothed with large sharp spines. We recommend 

 this as the best for general planting. 10c. each, 2-year, 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 



BLACK RASPBERRIES. "Caps." 



LOVETT RASPBERRY. The Lovett Raspberry has sustained all that has been 

 claimed for it ; and, taken all in all, has proved itself to be by far the best black rasp- 

 berry that has as yet been put upon the market. It is of ironclad hardiness, and is the 

 strongest in growth of cane of any. In the home garden especially its sweet, fine 

 flavor and small seeds will make it welcome, while its other prominent characteris- 

 tics render it decidedly profitable for market growing. 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 



PROGRESS. (Pioneer.) Is a most profitable market sort, entirely hardy. Berries 

 jet-black, very firm and of good quality. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



PALMER. A new variety and an improvement on Souhegan, from which it sprung. 

 Very early and a grand fruit for either family or market, vigorous and hardy, with 

 foliage healthy and free from rust ; wonderfully productive. Price, 50c. per doz., 



/ $3.00 per 100. 



OHIO. Exceedingly productive, very hardy and free from disease ; berries of good 

 size, jet-black and of excellent quality. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



GREGG. A popular market sort. Canes of strong, vigorous growth, and, under 

 good culture, productive. Berries very large, covered w T ith heavy bloom, firm, 

 meaty and of fine flavor. It requires good strong soil to produce best results, 

 and responds liberally to generous treatment. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



SHAFFER'S COLOSSAL. Canes are of wonderful vigor and size, hardy and 

 enormously productive. Berries large, of a dull purplish, unattractive color, 

 rather soft, but luscious and of a rich, sprightly flavor, whilst its color and lack 

 of firmness are points against it as a market sort ; late. 50c. per doz. , $3.00 per 100. 



SOUHEGAN, or TYLER. A very early blackcap and the leading early market 

 sort. It ripens its entire crop in a very short period. Canes vigorous and hardy, 

 with foliage healthy and free from rust ; wonderfully productive. Fruit of good 

 size, jet-black, with but little bloom ; firm, sweet and pleasant. Price, 50c. per 

 doz., $3.00 per 100.
