 The upright gi-owing varieties should be planted for field culture, in rows of six feet apart, and the plants 

 three feet distant in the I'ows, requiring 2,400 plants per acre; or four feet each way to be cultivated in hills, re- 

 quiring 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 restricf to hills. Soon as planted cut back the canes to 

 within a fevi^ 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 l,77o plants to the acre; or four and a half feet apart each way, re- 

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



CON RATH. 



In the Conrath we have combined all the 

 properties desirable in an ideal raspberry. 

 Its eai'liness, vigor, hardiness and size, and 

 its immense productiveness, form qualities 

 which place it at the head of this valuable 

 class of fruits. It is destined to become 

 among raspbei-ries what Crawford is among 

 peaches and Baldwin among apples. It is 

 probably a seedling of the Gregg, which it 

 resembles in many respects, besides having 

 been first found near a patch of that variety. 

 Unlike all other early sorts, it bears very 

 large fi-uit throughout the season — the last 

 picking nearly equaling the first in size. The 

 berries always leave the stem very easy and 

 can be gathered without crushing or break- 

 ing. 



The above is the description of the intro- 

 ducers, who add that the cane is of strong, iron- 

 clad hardiness and enoi-mously productive 

 and the fruit very firm, handsome and large, 

 as well as of high quality and ripening 

 among the earliest. The variety has now 

 been fruited and favorably reported upon at 

 most of the experimental stations. At Mon- 

 mouth its behavior has been exceptionally 

 good and we regard it as very promising ifi* 

 deed. Ea., 10c; 8 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100, \ '

ALL SUMMER. 



Certainly the most prominent of the 

 so-called ever-bearing raspberries, and 

 so far as we have been able to judge, 

 the best. The berries are large and 

 luscious, produced very abundantly in 

 July, and again later in the season- 

 The plants are strong f jid vigorous, 

 standing erect without stakes or other 

 support. Foliage large, rank, dark 

 green above and silvery-white be- 

 neath. Exceedingly hardy and en- 

 dures the heat of tropical summers, 

 and fruits well where many other rasp- 

 berries fail. A grower in Idaho says 

 of it: "It has fruited for five years 

 and borne a full crop each year, no 

 matter how hot the weather. 100 to 

 105 degrees in the shade is not un- 

 common here. It gives a full crop 

 where other varieties do not stand the 

 excessive heat, and I think you will 

 find it particulary valuable for your Southern trade, where other sorts do not stand." Ea., 15c; 3 for 30c; 

 doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00.
