Smith's Seedlinsr. This is a leader among Straw- 

 berries. It is one 

 of the most pro- 

 fitable and valu- 

 able of all mar- 

 ket sorts, and 

 a' so very desir- 

 able for the fam- 

 ily garden ; by 

 reason of its , 

 earline^s, firm- 

 ness, productive- 

 ness and fine 

 quality. It gives 

 splendid returns 

 and the fruit is 

 uniformly large 

 and fiae, of a 

 beautiful dark 

 crimson. Plant 

 vigorous and 

 very hardy, with bright clean foliage, and is a heavy 

 yielder. It is especially valuable for cold climates, but 

 succeeds everywhere, and those who do not know this 

 superb berry should certainly plant it this spring.

STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY or Tree Strawberry. 



A true Raspberry of herbaceous 

 habit, exceedingly novel and uni- 

 que both in plant and fruit, and 

 so ornamental as to be worthy of 

 a place in the garden for that 

 reason alone. It is a wonderful 

 grower, always clean and vigorous, 

 with a mass of deep green foliage 

 and large, fragrant, pure white 

 blossoms, and although it suckers 

 iinmoaerately it is extremely 

 hardy and is prolific in bearing 

 tor a period of some ten or 

 twelve weeks — from early in July 

 until trost. The berries are of 

 enormous size, of the richest shade 

 of bright crimson imaginable and 

 are in very truth the most ex- 

 quisitely beautiful of any berry 

 have ever looked upon; but 

 sadly deficient in 

 flavor. When 

 cooked or preser- 

 ved, however, it 

 is very good, and 

 excellent when 

 done up with some 

 other red rasp- 

 bei-ry. It has been 

 claimed to be a 

 hybrid of the 

 Strawberry and 

 the Raspberry, but 

 this I do not think 

 is correct. I have 

 Iso received a 

 number of com- 

 plaints to the effect 

 that it was not pro- 

 ductive. A.t Mon- 

 mouth this has 

 not been the case, 

 it beginning to 

 ripen in July and 

 continuing to yield 

 freely and con- 

 tinuoJhi VA\td cold 

 field grown plants.

New Golden Yellow and New Purple Strawberry-Raspberries. 



Very interesting new varieties of the above, of highly ornamental charac- 

 ter, producing even larger berries; one being of a bright golden-yellow and 

 , ^. ^ . the other a deep purple. What has been said of the species applies equally 



to these two varieties of it. as they differ only in the color and size of the fruit. Ea., 15c; 2 for 2oc; doz., $1.25.
