 The upright growing varieties should be planted for field culture in rows six feet apart, and the plants three 

 feet distant in the rows, requiring 2,400 plants per acre : or four feet apart each way to be cultivated in hills, 

 requiring 2,700 plants per acre. It is best to place two plants in each hill, requiring, of course, double the number. 

 In garden culture plant three feet apart each way and restrict to hills. Soon as planted cut back the canes to 

 witLia a few inches of the ground. In field culture plant the cap varieties in rows seven feet apart and three feet 

 six inches distant in the row, requiring 1.775 plants to the acre; or four and a half feet apart each way, requiring 

 2,150 plants to the acre. In garden culture plant four feet apart each way. 



MUNGER. 



A blackcap that comes 

 to us from Ohio; and one 

 of great promise by reason 

 of its enormous size and 

 other valuable properties. 

 It has notas yet fruited at 

 Monmouth hence we ap- 

 pend the description of the 

 introducer. ' -The fruit 

 of Munger is black and re- 

 sembles Gregg very much. 

 It is a better flavored ber- 

 ry than Gregg, tougher in 

 texture and therefore a 

 better shipper. In size it 

 excels Gregg by almost 

 twenty five per cent . (sin- 

 gle specimens measuring 

 one inch in diameter), be- 

 ing extra fine for canning 

 munger. and evaporating. Its sea- 



son of ripening is from five to eight days later than Gregg aha lias a special faculty of withstanding drought and 

 hot sun. The canes too resemble Gregg, are free from disease, upright in growth and have never yet been affected 

 by cold. Excels all others in size and productiveness. Munger always brings the highest price and ranks first 

 among fancy fruits." Doz., 81.00; 100, 84.00. 



LOUDON. 



A superb vari- 

 ety, but, valuable 

 as it undoubtedly 

 is, it does not pos- 

 sess all the neces- 

 sary qualifica- 

 tiones of a lead- 

 ing market red 

 raspberry as was 

 hoped and ex- 

 pected upon its 

 introduction. In 

 size and quality 

 it is very fine in- 

 deed but lacks the 

 firmness of flesh 

 and bright color 

 essential to a suc- 

 cessful market 

 berry. The canes 

 are strong grow- 

 ers with hand- 

 some, healthy 

 foliage, exceed- 

 ingly prolific, 

 and perfectly 

 hardy. The ber- 

 ries are large and 



beautiful, dark crimson, not very firm, rich and fine in qualitv. An excellent late variety for the home garden.

MUSK3ERRY. A decidedly novel berry described by its disseminator as follows; 'A new berry belonging 

 to the raspberry family; a rank grower, reaching 5 to 8 feet in height and branching. Foliage large and luxur- 

 iant; berries dark ruby red and of a peculiar cone-like [?] appearance. Exceedingly sweet but possessing a sort of 

 musky flavor, which is greatly liked by some but not by others. As a fancy berry it is unique and should have 

 a place in all good collections of fruits. As hardy as an oak and will thrive in any waste or out-of-the-way 

 place." Strong plants, ea., 15c; 2 for 25c; doz., $1.25.
