Raspberries 



C* R^ais, This promises to be the most valuable addition to the list of Red 

 ^ * Raspberries. It succeeds upon all soils, whether light and sandy 

 or heavy clay, and the canes are absolutely hardy always and everywhere. The 

 canes are of a stalky, strong growth with a great abundance of healthy, dark green 

 foliage. The only variety known that gives a crop of fruit the year planted, and 

 two crops a year thereafter. Plants set in early spring will give a small crop of 

 fruit the fall following, and the next spring a big crop equaling that of any red 

 Raspberry known. In size, quantity and quality to say nothing of its fall-bearing 

 qualities, it is ahead of anything as a spring- or summer-bearing variety. About 

 the middle of August it commences to set fruit on the young canes, and bears 

 continuously from then until frost. The berries are large, beautiful and attrac- 

 tive. If you have failed with every other variety of Raspberry, either North or 

 South, plant St. Regis and succeed. Whether growing for home use or market 

 you cannot afford to ignore this, the most wonderful of all Raspberries. 



Cuthbert Large, productive and at- 

 tractive. A well tested variety, that 

 has given good results for home and 

 market use. Very vigorous grower and 

 possesses vitality necessary for a popu- 

 lar variety. It yields bountifully, of 

 large, beautiful, bright red berries which 

 are easily picked and command good 

 prices. 



Cumberland An old reliable variety 

 that is a good second to Plum Farmer in 

 most respects. The berries are hand- 

 some, rather large and firm, and the 

 bush is healthy and vigorous. 



King The earliest Raspberry. Pro- 

 fessor Van Deman describes it: "Rourd, 

 medium size, light crim.-on color; mod- 

 erately firm and of excellent quality; a 

 seedling of Thompson, and ripens about 

 the same time, but larger and more 

 productive. 



Plum Farmer This is the best Black 

 Raspberry that will grow in the North. 

 It stood the winter of 1911-12 and pro- 

 due 'd a heavy crop the following sea- 

 son, when other kinds froze badly and 

 yielded nothing. It bears extremely 

 large berries, often an inch in diameter, 

 of fine shipping quality. They are so 

 handsome that usually they bring a few 

 cents extra per quart. The berries are 



a dark brownish black that will not fade. 

 The flavor is excellent;plants are healthy 

 vigorous and sturdy. Plum Farmer is 

 the largest, best colored, most attrac- 

 tive and most productive Black Rasp- 

 berry in cultivation, and one that will 

 make money anywhere. 



Royal Purple Undoubtedly the great- 

 est ad\ ance yet made in Purple Rasp- 

 berries. Originated in Indiana with a 

 grower who says: '*It surpasses any- 

 thing I have ever seen in the Raspberry 

 line. The original bush stands in a stiff 

 blue grass sod and has borne thirteen 

 successive crops, and some of the time 

 in winter the mercury has gone thirty- 

 five degrees below zero. The bush is of 

 healthy growth, and bears the largest 

 berries of any I have seen. ' ' The canes 

 are model growers,vigorous and healthy. 

 The color of the bark is a deep, rich red, 

 unlike Columbian or Shaffer, and the 

 canes are smooth except near the roots. 

 The berries are large, purple in color, 

 very firm, good shippers and good keep- 

 ers. It is firm enough to be handled 

 and shipped to near markets in quart 

 baskets They do not crumble when 

 picked, and present a better appearance 

 in the basket than most purple sorts. 

 The bulk of the crop comes about two 

 weeks later than Columbian.
