SELECT RED RASPBERRIES. 



CARDINAL. — This variety, the Columbian and Hay- 

 maker are very much alike. It is a giant Raspberry 

 both in size of fruit and canes — the canes on good soil 



'.Cardinal Raspberry. 

 attaining a 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. Ber- 

 ries sweet, juicy, lucious, rich and sprightly, with true 

 Raspberry flavor, and firm. The color is dull crim- 

 son 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 nnd 

 Southwest where it succeeds perfectly and but few other 

 red Raspberries do. One of the best varieties for 

 canning and making jelly and jam. (See cut). Doz., 

 35c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $12.00. 



CUTHBERT. — An old and well tried variety intro- 

 duced by me in 1878. Berries of large size, deep crim- 

 son, moderately firm 

 and high quality; being 

 rich and sprightly. 

 Canes of strong growth 

 with large healthy foli- 

 age but not entirely 

 hardy of late years, at 

 the far north in win- 

 ters of unusual severi- 

 ty. Ripens in midsea- 

 son until late and suc- 

 ceeds everywhere; even 

 at the south. Doz., 

 40c; 100, $2.00; 1,000, 

 S15.00. 



GOLDEN 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 translu- 

 cent amber. Of luscious quality and a valuable va- 

 riety for the home garden. Introduced by the Mon- 

 mouth Nursery in 1885. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 



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

 large size, bright color, firmness of flesh and good qual- 

 ity 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 

 stands pre-eminent for endurance of cold in winter and 

 the heat of summer. It drops quickly from the stem 

 when ripe — a feature disliked by some but regarded 

 as a desirable one by other growers. Doz., 35c; 100, 

 $1.50; 1,000, $12.00. 



PERFECTION. — A New York State seedling, of iron- 

 clad hardiness and prodigious growth. Its thornless 

 canes grow ten feet high and are hterally loaded at fruit- 

 ing time, with large, luscious, bright crimson, very 

 firm berries. It begins to ripen early and continues in 

 bearing for two months. If this remarkable raspberry 

 sustains in other localities the record it has made at the 

 place of its origin, it will prove to be a variety of un- 

 told value. Doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



Buby Baspberry. 



RUBY. — A very early, bright red Raspberry, produc- 

 ing great crops of extra large, exceedingly firm and 

 showy berries, and possessing, as well, canes of strong, 

 vigorous growth and iron-clad hardiness. 



The originator of it says: "This berry is certainly a 

 great acquisition. In comparison with King it will 

 produce double the quantity of fruit, is firmer, larger 

 and better in flavor. Ripens with, or in advance of the 

 King. (See cut). Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 



BLACK CAP RASPBERRIES. 



CUMBERLAND. — After seeing its fruit one ceases to 

 onder why this is in such great demand. It is certainly 



the largest blackcap I have ever seen or grown, and the 

 yield is very great. The canes are strong and vigor- 

 ous, quite in accord with the demands of such a large- 

 fruited, abundant bearer, and unusually hardy. The 

 berries are jet black, with little or no bloom; very firm 

 and of excellent quality; sweet and pleasant. Midsea- 

 son. (See cut). Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $12.00.
