Raspberries 



Plants will be sent by mail if desired, provided cash is sent for postage, as per table. 

 Autumn is the best season of the year for planting all Raspberries. 



In field culture plant in rows six feet apart and the plants three feet distant in the rows; requir- 

 ing 2,420 plants per acre. The cap varieties, however, should be planted in rows seven feet apart and 

 the plants three and one half feet distant in the rows. In the garden, plant all varieties four feet apart 

 each way. 



BRILLIANT RASPBERRY; the finest and best red raspberry in commerce 



RED RASPBERRIES 



BRILLIANT. — A superior early to midseason 

 variety. The berries are large, exceedingly bright 

 in color and very firm; quality fair to good. Canes 

 healthy, hardy, and prolific. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 



CUTHBERT.— Introduced by me in 1878. Very 

 popular in years past but has now become en- 

 feebled with old age. Berries very large, deep 

 crimson and of best quality. Midseason to late. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— A sport of the Cuthbert 

 and the finest variety having yellow fruit. Berries 

 translucent yellow, large and of high quality. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 



KING. — The standard red raspberry. Berries 

 bright crimson, of good size, fair quality, very firm. 

 Canes hardy and yield well. Ripens early. Doz., 

 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING.— A unique va- 

 riety of great value. It ripens very early — in 

 advance of all others, and gives an immense sum- 

 mer crop. It also gives an autumn crop; con- 

 tinuing to produce large perfect berries of full 

 flavor until the ground freezes. The canes are of 

 ironclad hardihood, and of vigorous growth. 

 Berries of good size, rich bright crimson in color; 

 and of excellent quality. Unlike any other va- 

 riety of the red raspberries, it yields a moderate 

 crop of berries the first season — especially if 

 planted in the autumn or in early spring. Selected 

 plants, dozen, 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $12.00. 



Transplanted plants, doz., 50c; 100, $3.00; 

 1000, $20.00. 



WELCH (Honey). — Large to very large in size 

 and of honey sweetness — melting and luscious — 

 the finest in quality of any offered. The canes 

 are vigorous and productive. It is not firm enough 

 to ship well. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.75; 1000, $12.00. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY.— A Raspberry 

 of herbaceous habit. Berries of enormous size, 

 brilliant crimson color, and poor insipid flavor in 

 the fresh state, though quite good when cooked. 

 Odd and interesting. Doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



CAP RASPBERRIES 



IMPORTANT. — These are propagated by root- 

 ing the tips of the canes, and the young plants are 

 very difficult to make live when planted in the 

 autumn. It is with pleasure I am now enabled to 

 offer transplanted plants . of all these varieties. 

 They are large and strong, and transplant with the 

 greatest ease and certainty of living when planted 

 in the fall. 



The prices named are for transplanted plants. 

 Tip plants should be planted in the spring only. 



BLACK DIAMOND. — A superior early matur- 

 ing variety; hardy and prolific. Doz., 60c; 100, 

 $3.00. 



CARDINAL. — A giant variety in cane and 

 berry. Berries purple-crimson, of high quality; 

 excellent for jellies and jams. Very hardy and 

 very prolific. Midseason. Haymaker and Col- 

 umbian are similar to it but no better. Succeeds 

 at the south. Doz., 75c; 100, $3.50. 



CUMBERLAND.— The finest of the black caps. 

 Berries very large, and of excellent quality. Mid- 

 season to late. Doz., 60c; 100, $3.00. 



KANSAS. — The most popular of the black caps. 

 Berries large, best quality, coal black and firm. 

 Canes of strong growth, hardy and exceedingly 

 prolific. Ripens early to midseason. Doz., 60c; 

 100, $3.00. 



PLUM FARMER. — A variety rapidly growing in 

 favor. Berries are large, of meaty texture and 

 very firm; black with a grayish cast and of highest 

 quality. Canes vigorous, hardy and prolific. 

 Ripens early and matures its crops quickly. Doz., 

 60c; 100, $3.00. 



ROYAL PURPLE.— Berries of great size, rich 

 in Raspberry flavor and dull crimson or purple 

 color. Canes hardy and very prolific. Late. 

 Similar in character to the popular Cardinal, but 

 larger and better. Doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



SCARFF (Improved Gregg).— "In size it com- 

 pares with Cumberland, possibly larger. In 

 productiveness it is far ahead of any Black Cap we 

 grow. It is absolutely hardy." Introducer. Doz., 

 75c; 100, $3.50.
