CUMBERLAND. 



After seeing its fruit one ceases to won- 

 der why this is in such great demand. 

 It is certainly the largest blackcap I have 

 ever seen or imagined, and the yield is 

 very great. The canes are very stnjng 

 and vigorous, quite in accordance with the 

 demand of such a large-fruited, abundant 

 bearer, and unusually hardy. The ber- 

 ries are really immense, as long or longer 

 than they are broad, jet black, with little 

 or no bloom ; ver\' fine and of excellent 

 quality, sweet and pleasant. It bears 

 larg»^ crops annually with unfailing regu- 

 larity and is, undoubtedly, the best of all 

 the blackcaps for general cultivation. 

 Midsea-son. Doz., 50c. ; 100, $2.00; 1000,

General List of Ra»|)berries. 



CONRATII (Cap). Undoubtedly the best early 

 blackcap yet introduced, producing large berries 

 and bearing large crops annually. It is far better 

 than Souhegan and the other early blackcaps, be- 

 ing larger and handsomer than any of them. In 

 make-up of fruit and plant it resembles the Gregg 

 somewhat ; but the berries are jet black, ripen with 

 the very earliest, are firm, sweet, meaty and very 

 large, maintaining their large size to the close of 

 the sea.son. Canes of strong, ^igo^ous, upright 



habit, with clean, healthy foliage, and wonderfully 

 prolific, fully equaling any variety in cultivation, 

 and yielding nearly double the quantity of Gregg 

 per acre. To enumerate, it surpas.ses in earliness, 

 large size, beauty, firmness, and high quality of 

 fruit and productiveness, vigorous growth, healthy 

 foliage, and hardiness of cane ; an array of merit 

 which places it in the front rank. Doz..'^30c. ; 100, 

 SI. 00; KXjO, $!.(}(). 



COLL^BIAN. A veritable giant in size of both 

 fruit and plant, the canes sometimes reaching a 

 height of from ten to twelve feet, perfectly hardy 

 and literally loaded with berries which, in general 

 appearance, resemble those of Shaffer's Colossal, 

 being of the same large size, globular form, and 

 deej) purplish-red color, but .sweeter, more highly 

 flavored, and not so soft. The foliage is large and 

 abundant, without any trace of scald or rust. It 

 succeeds perfectly at the South, and is one of the 

 most desirable for canning, jams, etc. Midseason 

 to late. Doz., .35c. ; 100, $1.50; KXX), $12.(J(J. 



CLITtlBERT. Introduced by me in 1878 and .still 

 one of the leading standard red Raspberries. Al- 

 though it ripens late it continues to be popular 

 and the best of its season. It has proved of great 

 adaptability to all parts of the counti-y, and under 

 good culture is profitable. Berries large, crimson, 

 firm, and good; canes of strong growth, with 

 healthy foliage ; exceedingly productive. Midsea- 

 son to late. Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



QOLDEN QUEEN. Introduced by me in 1885, and 

 the bfi-st yellow Haspbern*- that has yet appeared. 

 Especially desirable for the home garden. In all 

 but color it is identical with Cuthbert, possessing 



canes of equal vigor and even greater productive- 

 ness. Berrins arc large, translucent, delicate gold- 

 en yellow and of high quality, forming a delightful 

 contrast in color to the fruit of the crimson varie- 

 ties. Mid.sea.son. Doz., 35c.; 100, §1.50; 1000, 

 $10.00.
