PH(ENIX." As a general purpose bery this is sur- 

 passed only by the King. It is certainly one of 

 the most valuable that has ever been introduced, 

 possessing all the essentials of a profitabie mar- 

 ket variety. I have grown and marketed sev- 

 eral acres of it for the past four years and know 

 all about it. Its canes ai'e vigorous, exceedingly 

 prolific, and of the greatest hardiness, with foliage that 

 has never been known to rust, blight or scald. The 

 berries are large and globular, of a bright crimson 

 color, meaty and solid, with a pleasant sweet flavor. 

 In firmness and brightness of color it is surpassed by 

 no variety in cultivation, and what gives it special 

 value is its extreme earliness. ripening as it does in 

 advance of all the othf^r red vai'iecies, except that king 

 of red raspberries, the ' Kixg." Doz.. y.oc : 100, SI. 50 ;

Golden Queen. The best yellow raspberry ever intro- 

 duced and especially desirable for the home garden. 

 In all but color it is identical with Cathbert, possessing 

 canes of equal vigor aad even greater productiveness. 

 Berries are large, of a bright golden vellow and of high 

 quality. Midsea.son. Doz., 30c; 100, si. 00: 1000. -^8.00. 



Greg'g' (Cap). Once the leading market blackcap and 

 still popular but it requires strong soil and good culture 

 and its canes are not always entirely hardy, hence has 

 been somewhat superseded by newer and better vari- 

 eties. It is very fine, however, the berries being large, 

 black with heaw bloom, firm, meaty and of fine fla- 

 vor. Midseason. Doz.. 25c: 100, -SI. 00: 1000. ^7.00. 



Kansas (Cap). The best of the standard black'^aps 

 and a vast impi'ovement upon Gregg by reason of its 

 greater hardiness, less bloom, and earlier season of 

 ripening. It is a profitable mark-t sort and its hand- 

 some appearance and fine flavor make it desirable for 

 the home garden. Berries as large as Gregg, firm and 

 of fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, entire- 

 ly hardv and prolific. Rioens about" second earlv.

Soutlwg'an (Tyler) Cap. A well-known early market 

 blackcap havmg the merit of ripening its entire crop 

 within a short time. Berries medium to large, jet black, 

 firm, sweet and good. Canes robust, hardv and ex- 

 ceedingly productive. Doz.. 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000. §7.00. 



Turner (Southern r/io/'ii/^'.s.s). An old popular sort 

 of remarkable hardiness and great productiveness 

 Berries medium to large, rather soft, sweet and of fine 

 quality. Early. Doz., 25c: 100, §1.00; 1000, $0.00.

THE igverr ca 



One of-i the 'production s'of Luther Burbank. and is 

 supposed to be a hybrid of a Japanese species and the 

 the Cuthbert Raspberry. It is most unique, forming 

 a shrub-like bush, about six feet high, and bearing 

 along its branches large white blossoms which are soon 

 followed by large, sweet, glossy, golden yellow, trans- 

 lucent berries. The bushes do not die down after bear- 

 ing, like the canes of the Raspberry and Blackberrj', 

 but continue to bear fruit for many years, like the 

 Currant and Gooseberry. Such, in' brief, is the de- 

 scription given by the iatroducers, but I regret to say 

 that my experience with it has been unsatisfactory, 

 for, although the bushes grow well. I have been unable 

 to obtain any fruit from it. notwithstanding that I 

 have grown it three or four years. Still, it may bear 

 well in other locations and under other conditions.

MUSKBERRY. 



A very peculiar and novel berry belonging evidently 

 to the Raspberry family which seems deserving of a 

 place in all collections of fruit. "A rank grower, 

 reaching 5 to 8 feet in height and branching. "Foliage 

 large and luxuriant: 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 b v others. As hard}* as an oak 

 and will thrive in any waste or out-of-the-way place.'' 

 Decidedly decoraiivp by reason of its large, handsome 

 foliage and graceful habit. A dozen plants set in a 

 corner or other raked spot will produce a handsome 

 clump of foliage and quantities of fruit. Ea., 15c: 

 doz., -SI. 00: 100. .S5.00. 



DWARF JUNEBERRIES. 



The Dwarf Juneberry is an 

 excellent substitute for the 

 Swamp Whortleberry, but is 

 of the easiest culture. The 

 fruit is borne in clusters, red- 

 dish-purple changing to blu- 

 ish-black. In flavor it is of 

 a mild, sub-acid ; excellent 

 r.s a dessert fruit or canned. 

 Extremely hardy, enduring 

 extremes of cold and heat un- 

 injured* In habit it is simi- 

 lar to the currant. The blos- 

 soms are white petals, which, 

 with its bright, glossy, dark 

 green foliage, renders it one 

 of the handsomest of orna- 

 mental shrubs. 



Success. A superb variety, 

 the result of careful cros's- 

 ing, and a great improve- 

 ment upon all others : pro- 

 duced b3' Prof. Van Deman 

 and introduced by me. Per- 

 fectly free from Vlisease, and 

 exceedingly productive; fruit 

 large, beautiful, delicious, 

 rich and full in flavor. Ea.,
