Another year has more fully proved than ever the 

 great value of this variety. In a field of ten acres of 

 this and Miller in bearing the past season it was vastly 

 superior to Miller, the Miller being vastly more valu- 

 able than any other red variety as a market berry. In 

 fruit there is scarcely any difference in the appearance 

 or firmness of the two, both being large, brilliant crim- 

 son and firm — but in quality the Phoenix is vastly su- 

 perior. In growth of cane the Phoenix is stronger and 

 more prolific. In brief, this variety surpasses by far 

 all other varieties of the red Raspberry for market and 

 is a most desirable variety for the home garden. In 

 season of ripening it is also a week earlier than 

 Miller.

This has proved itself to be a wonderfully valuable 

 raspberry, especially for the home garden. Whilst it is 

 of the same general character as Shaffer's Colossal it is 

 a decided improvement upon that favorite variety. 

 Being even more vigorous in growth, quite as produc- 

 tive, wliile the fruit is sweeter, of higher flavor and very 

 much firmer; in canning it does not break but retains its 

 form better and shrinks less than any other variety. The 

 berries are also very large, conical, dark purplish-red, 

 rich and luscious. Especially valuable for the South. 

 Midseason to late. Tips, ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25; 

 100, $6.00. Transplanted, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50; 

 100, $9.00. Tlumsand rates upon application. 



GOLDEN MAYBERRY. 



The earliest fruit known, ripening in advance of the 

 Strawberry. A most novel fruit, forming a shrub-like 

 bush six to eight feet high, producing all along its 

 branches large white blossoms, which are soon followed 

 by largo, sweet, glossy, golden, semi-transparent ber- 

 ries. The bushes do not die down after bearing like the 

 canes of the Raspberry and Blackberry, but continue 

 to bear fruit for many years like the Currant and 

 Gooseberry. Produced by Luther Burbank of Califor- 

 nia and is supposed to be a hybrid of a Japanese species 

 of raspberrj' (Rubuspalmatus) and the Cuthbert. Our 

 stock was grown direct from the parent plant and is the 

 true variety. Strong transplanted plants that will 

 please all. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



CONRATH. 



Resembles Gregg in many ways, but is much earlier 

 and better and is firm, s^^ eet, and good — maintaining 

 its large size to the last picking. The canes are of iron- 

 clad hardiness, very prolific and make a strong, healthy 

 growth. It ripens early. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c; 

 100, $3. 00 ;1 000, $20.00.
