KANSAS ( Cap). A vast improvement upon 

 Gregg, which has become very popular of late, be- 

 cause of its greater hardiness, less bloom and more 

 abundant yield. It is a profitable market berry, 

 its handsome appearance causing it to sell readily. 



The berries are fully as large as Gregg, firm and 

 of fine quality, rendering it also very desirable for 

 the home garden. Canes of strong growth, hardy 

 and prolific. Eipens about midseason. Doz., 30c. ; 

 IW, Sl.CMJ; KKMj, .ST.tMJ. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. 



A true raspberry of herbaceous habit, exceed- 

 ingly unique both in plant and fruit, and so orna- 

 mental as to be worthy of a place in the garden for 

 that reason alone. It is a wonderful grower, al- 

 ways clean and vigorous, with a mass of deep green 

 foliage, with large, fragrant, pure white blossoms, 

 and. although it suckers immoderately, it is ex- 

 tremely hardy and produces ripe berries for a 

 period of some ten or twelve weeks — from early in 

 July until frost. The berries are of enormous size 

 (often double the size shown in the cut ), of the 

 richest shade of bright crimson imaginable, and 



are in very truth the most exquisitely beautiful 

 of any berry I have ever looked upon ; but sadly 

 deficient in flavor, being dry and insipid. When 

 stewed, however, it is very good, and superb when 

 cooked with some other red raspberry. Doz.. 50c. ; 

 100, $2.00. ( By mail at dozen rates if preferred, i 



MILLER. Combines the essential properties of 

 a good market raspbeny, viz, good size, firmness, 

 brightness of color and productiveness. The Miller 

 is a popular berry among shippers, and although 

 lacking the extreme earliness, large size and fine 

 quality of the King is still a profitable variety, its 

 yield being great. The berries are large, round, 

 very firm, sweet and good, and of a brilliant crim- 

 son, which brightness is retained at all times. 

 The canes are of stout habit, of great hardiness and 

 prolific. It may be relied upon to produce annu- 

 allv a verv laj-ge crop of good fruit. Earlv. Doz., 

 30c.; 100," $1.(X); 1000, $6.00. 



MliNOCR (Cap). An extra large berry, ranking 

 among the first of the fancy blackcaps. It sells 

 for the highest price by reason of its large size and 

 beauty, being one-fourth larger than Gregg, finer 

 in flavor and flrmer in flesh, therefore a better 

 shipper. It is usually fine for canning and evapo- 

 rating. The canes are strong, upright growers, 

 entirely hardy, perfectly free from rust, and wonder- 

 fullv prolific. Eipens from 5 to 8 days later than 

 Gregg. Doz., 50c.; 100, $2.00. 



LOLIDON. A superb variety, but lacks the firm- 

 ness of flesh and bright color essential to a suc- 

 cessful market berry, such as is possessed by the 

 King and Miller raspberries. In size and quality 

 it is very flne indeed, and is a splendid variety for 

 the home garden or the local market. The canes 

 are strong growers, with bright, healthy foliage, 

 and very productive. The berries are large and 

 beautiful, dark crimson, not very firm, rich and 

 juicy. Eipens shortly in advance of Cuthbert. 

 Doz., 50c. ; 100, S2.00. 



LOGAN BERRY. 



This very unique and remarkable berry should 

 find a place in every garden. The peculiar com- 

 bination of the Easpberry and Blackberry in its 

 make-up gives it an additional interest to fruit 

 growers. The berries are of great size — equaling 

 large blackberries, which they resemble in form 

 and structure, but are deep reddish-maroon in color. 

 In flavor it is rich and sprightly — a mingling of the 

 raspberry and blackberry, the raspberry predomi- 

 nating, mellowed and reflned, yet distinct from 



either — melting and without core. The flavor is so 

 luscious, novel and rich the berry cannot fail to 

 please everybody as a dessert fruit. What gives 

 special value to this novel fruit is its earliness — 

 ripening as it does at the close of the strawberry 

 season, and in advance of all but the very earliest 

 ra'<pberrips. Ea. 20c., doz. 82.00.
