RED VARIETIES 



CIBDIML.— This variety, the Columbian and Haymaker 

 tre very much alike. It is a giant Raspberry both in size 

 of fruit and canes — the canes on good soil attaining a 



^^mall fruit ^Innt^ 



height of ten feet and are literally covered with large, 

 handsome berries. The canes are very hardy and root at 

 the tips like the black cap varieties. Berries sweet, juicy, 

 luscious, rich and sprightly, with true Raspberry flavor, 

 and firm. The color is dull crimson or purplish red, not 

 so attractive as some of the other red varieties, but the 

 berries are so large and fine in quality and the canes 

 so hardy and prolific, it has much value, especially for 

 planting at the South and Southwest where it succeeds 

 perfectly and but few other red Raspberries do. One of 

 the best varieties for canning and making jelly and jam. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



CUTHBEBT. — An old and well-tried variety, introduced 

 by me in 1878. Berries of large size, deep crimson, mod- 

 erately firm and high 

 quality; being rich 

 and sprightly. Canes 

 of strong growth with 

 large healthy foliage 

 but not entirely hardy 

 of late years, at the 

 far north in winters 

 of unusual severity. 

 Ripens in midseason 

 until late and suc- 

 c e e d s everywhere; 

 even at the south. 

 Rapidly being super- 

 seded by St. Regis, 

 King, etc. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.50; 1000, 

 $10.00. 



GOLDE>' QUEEN. — Though not red, I class this with 

 them, as it is of the same habit and requires the same 

 culture. A sport of the Cuthbert and similar to it in all 

 respects except color, which is a clear translucent amber. 

 Of luscious quality and a valuable variety for the home 

 garden. Introduced by the Monmouth Nursery in 1885. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 



HEBBERT. — A Canadian variety known as the "3 in 1 

 Raspberry," Prof. W. T. Macoun, ot OtUwa, C»a., 

 describes it a» follows: "A very strong grower, hardy 

 and very productive. Fruit large to very large. obtu»ely 

 conical, bright to rather dark red; drupe* medium size, 

 not crumbling; moderately firm; eweet and iub-acid, 

 sprightly, juicy and of good flavor. Quality very good. 

 Season begins a few days before Cuthbert. The be»t red 

 Raspberry tested here. It ha* »11 the good point* re- 

 quired in a berry for local market, being hardy, rigor- 

 ous, productive, with fruit of large tize, good color and 

 very good quality." The iatroducert claim it to be the 



"hardiest of all red Raspberries and heaviest yielder of 

 all. Has yielded 205 bushels per acre." Doz., 75c; 

 100, $4.00; 1000, $30.00. 



KING. — The leading red Raspberry. It unites earliness, 

 large size, bright color, firmness of fiesh and good quality 

 with productiveness, vigorous growth and hardiness of 

 cane. It is exceedingly bright and lively in color, so 

 firm as to ship long distances without injury, and stand* 



pre-eminent for endurance of cold in winter and the heat 

 and drought of summer. It drops quickly when ripe — a 

 feature disliked by some, but regarded as a desirable one 

 by other growers. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, SIO.OO. 



BUBT. — A very early, bright red Raspberry, producing 

 great crops of extra large, exceedingly firm and showy 

 berries, and possessing, as well, canes of strong, vigor- 

 ous growth and ironclad hardiness. 



The originator of it saj's: "This berry is certainly a 

 great acquisition. In comparison with King it will pro- 

 duce double the quantity cf fruit, is firmer, larger and 

 better in flavor. Ripens with, or in advance of the King.** 



A grand variety in the Hudson River valley and in 

 many other sections in the northern and eastern States. 

 With me it has not been entirely successful, and I have 

 received similar reports from points in the southern part 

 of the State and southward. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, 

 $12.00. 



WINEBERRT. (Japanese Rasf berry). —Dcddttdly unique 

 and valuable as an ornamental plant a< »eil as for its 

 beautiful fruit. It is a strong, rampant grower, the 

 canes being thickly covered with porplifti-red hairs. 

 Berries are of medium size, the coloi at feherry wine, 

 sparkling, with a brisk, pleasant, sub-arid flavor. Canes 

 of strong growth, as hardy as an oak. and yield enor- 

 mously for a long season. Excellent as a dessert fruit, 

 but especially valuable for canning and for making a 

 delicious wine. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50.
