28 DREER’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 
RASPBERRIES. 
Whilst we have nothing new of especial merit among other varieties of small fruits, we believe 
we have at last several new varieties of Raspberry, which promise to supersede the kinds now 
under cultivation, as these combine all the requisites heretofore wanting, viz., hardiness, produc- 
tiveness, with size, bright color, and superior flavor. To Mr. D. W. Herstine, of this city, be- 
longs the credit of producing these new varieties. He hasauthorized us to offer.a limited number 
of the two following varieties. 
‘‘HERSTINE.”’ Plant a good grower ; most abundant and early bearer: suckers moderately ; 
canes strong, of a red, green color; covered with white bloom, spines green, but not abundant ; 
foliage healthy, of medium size, and often lobed; of a pearl gray color on the under side ; fruit 
large, oblong, with small grains, and crimson color; flavor sub-acid, and very good. (For repre- 
sentation, see outside cover.) 
‘*SAUNDERS,”’ in honor of Wm. SAaunpeErs, of Experimental Gardens, Washington, D. C. 
Plant a good bearer, suckering freely ; canes green, shaded with purple; spines numerous, small, 
and light green; foliage light green, and abundant ; fruit very large, round, of a crimson color, 
with large grains, of high character, and delicious. Price of plants of each of the above, $3 00 
each ; $16 00 per half dozen; $30 00 per dozen. 
We have also another new variety, of great excellence, to offer, raised by Mr. Anthony Felten, 
which he has named the 
NORTHERN WONDER. The plant is of a dwarf, stocky growth, perfectly hardy, and ex- 
ceedingly productive. Fruit large, bright crimson color, flavor of best quality. The Gardener's 
Monthly of August, 1870, makes the following report: ‘‘ The Saunders was awarded the pre- 
mium, although there was but little difference against the ‘ Northern Wonder,’ which is evidently 
a very good variety, and will be perhaps as popular in the field as any of its contemporaries. It 
seems, by the specimens exhibited, to be a compact, stiff grower.’’ Price $1 00 each; $10 00 
per dozen.
