GENERAL LIST. 



JOHNSTON'S SWEET (Cap).- A new black- 

 cap from Western New York said to be remarkable 

 for its sweetness and especially valuable for evapo- 

 rating. " Canes of strong vigorous growth, hardy and 

 equal to any other variety in productiveness. Berries 

 large— a trifle less than Gregg— deep black, without 

 bloom, quite Arm, very sweet and delicious. Season 

 nearly same as Tyler." Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00: 1000, 

 $80.00. 



HI IjBOR N ( Cap).— A large blackcap, coming in 

 season soon after the early varieties, and recom- 

 mended for its size and fine quality. Originated in 

 Canada. Near its home, and in northern Ohio, where 

 it has been tested, it is spoken of in the higliest praise. 

 Mr. M. Crawford, of Ohio, in a letter to me, says: " In 

 speaking of Hilborn Raspberry people usually say: 

 'That's the best berry I ever tasted.' That's what I 

 think, too." The plants at Monmouth grow finely and 

 I believe it to t)e a variety of unusual merit. Doz., 

 75c; 100, S4.00; 1000, $30.00. 



C'arinan (Cap). —A new early blackcap from Con- 

 necticut, said to unite large size, extra earliness, fine 

 quality and great productiveness. The disseminator 

 says: " The plant resembles the Souhegan ; healthy 

 and hardy ; fully as productive as Souhegan or Tvler, 

 fruit, jet black, large as Gregg, best quality, and the 

 earliest of all to ripen." Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



Earliart (Cap).— Similar in a general way to the 

 old ( )hio p:verbearing with which it has proved almost 

 if not entirely identical. Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



Brandy wine, —A bright crimson berry of good 

 size and firmness, but lacking vigor of plant. Now 

 superceded by Cuthbert and others. Mid-season. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Centennial (Cap).— The largest and finest of the 

 early blackcaps. Ripens very shortly after Souhegan. 

 Productive, and fruit is sweet and delicious in fiavor. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $9.00. 

 V Chapman (Cap).— Highly praised at the West, 

 where it originated. Ripens nearly as early as Sou- 

 hegan. Jet-black, good size, and of good quality. 

 Very prolific. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $9.00. 



\« C IJ T H - 

 .BERT( Qween 



Mainmotli Cluster.— A well-known old var- 

 iety, yet retained for its high quality, size and pro- 

 ductiveness. Color black, with much bloom. Super- 

 ceded by the above. Medium to late. Doz., 50c; 100 

 $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



MAKIiBORO.— The largest early red ra.sp- 

 berry, ripening only a few days later than Hansell. 

 Bright scarlet, beautiful but not of high quality. 

 Cane hardy and productive. The best early red rasp- 

 berry for the north. Doz., 50c; 100, $1,25; 1000, 

 $9.00. 



Neinalia (Cap).— Almost identical with theGregg 

 which it resembles in cane, fruit and foliage. It is, 

 however, much hardier than that fine old sort— cer- 

 tainly a valuable feature, but I cannot see that it ex- 

 cels it in either size, productiveness or lateness. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $l..'i0; 10;;0, $12.00. 



lety, and tbe k ^liio or Alden (Cap).-A profitable market 

 best red r a s p - 



of the Market.) 

 —The leading 

 late market var- 



berry and popular for drying. Of good size, very black 

 and very productive. Ripens in mid-season. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Kaiicooas.— An early red variety of the Phila- 

 delphia and Reliance type, introduced lately with 

 much praise, but which has not at Monmouth fully 

 borne out all that has been claimed for it, giving 

 much disappointment. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.25; 1000, 

 $9.00. 



•^Sliaffer's Colossal (Cap).— An immense rasp- 

 berry in cane, fruit and productiveness, and specially 

 adapted to the South. The fruit is of flne quality, rich 

 and sprightly, but it is dull purple and unattractive 

 in color. Ripens late. Doz , .50c; 100. $1..50; 1000, 

 $12.00. 



SOUHEGAN or TYLER (Caj>).— The earli- 

 est black raspberry and the leading early market sort.

 porating. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00.

 popular Mammoth Cluster, which it much resembles I ^''"'^ of medium size, bright crimson, and of honeyed 



in appearance of fruit and cane. Doz., .50c; 100, $1.00;
