The upright growing varieties should be planted for field culture in rows six feet apart, and the plants three feet 

 distant in the rows, requiring 2.400 plants per acre: or four feet apart each way, to be cultivated in hills, requiring 3,700 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 restrict to hills. Soon as planted cut back the canes to within a few inches of the ground. In field 

 culture plant the cap varieties in rows seven fee t apart and three feet six inches distant in the row, requiring 1,775 plants to 

 the acre; or four and a half feet apart each way, requiring 2,150 plants to the acre. In garden culture plant four feet 

 apart each way. 



In former years I grew and catalogued an extended list of Raspberries. Believing this to be a mistake, I have ceased 

 doing it. The description of so many kinds was confusing to the purchaser and the growing of tnem was a needless expense 

 to the nurseryman. I have therefore discarded all but those here named. The list embraces the best early and .he best late 

 varieties of both Red Raspberries and Black Caps, and Golden Queen is beyond question the best yellow fruited variety. 



KING. The Finest Red Raspberry yet Produced. 



For many 

 years I 

 have been 

 watching 

 and te-ting: 

 this truly 

 m a r v elous 

 Raspberry, 

 and know 

 it from per- 

 sonal obser- 

 vation to be 

 by far the 

 best red Raspberry yet pro- 

 duced. It is the only early red 

 Raspberry that I have tested 

 which unites large size, beauty, 

 firmness, and good quality of 

 fruit with productiveness, vigor- 

 ous growth, and hardiness of 

 cane. Its season is the very ear- 

 liest: ripening with or before 

 Hansell, and much in advance 

 of Miller. Its fruit is as brisrht in color as either of the last 

 two named (there are none brighter or more beautiful;, and 

 of the ver}- best quality — full\- equaling the Cuthbert in 

 this respect, as well as in size, and is much firmer than 

 this grand variet\\ In productiveness it is equal to any 

 red Raspberry I have ever grown, and in vigorous growth 

 and hardiness of cane, as well as in the enduring properties 

 of its foliage, it is not surpassed by the the old standard of 

 excellence in cane, the Turner. I have thus briefly noted its 

 character by comparison with the leading red varieties ; yet 

 in d iing so I have said very nearly all that can be said in 

 favor of a Raspberry of its class. I believe it to be worthy 

 of all that I have said in its favor; for in earliness, large 

 size, beauty of form and color, hi eh quality, firmness, pro- 

 ductiveness, vigorous growth, and hardiness— in a word, in 

 value — it is without an equal. 



The foregoing is what I said of this marvelous variety a year ago, and 

 I have nothing to take back after fruiting it another year; in very truth, 

 I would say more in its favor if I knew how to do so, for I regard it worthy 

 of everything that can be said in its favor within the bounds of common 

 sense. I shall have several acres of it in bearing at my Deal Farm the 

 coming summer, and I extend to all a cordial invitation to come, during 

 the first two weeks of July, and see it in fruit. I am sure anyone who con- 

 templates planting red Raspberries largel3 r will be handsomely rewarded 

 by coming, even though it be necessary to travel a Ions' way to see it. 



The above is what appeared in my Catalogue for Spring, 1900, respect- 

 ing this remarkable Raspberry. I have nothing to take from and little to 

 add to what is said above, except scores of testimonials from other grow- 

 ers, which I regret lack of space will not permit me to here reproduce. 



I am glad to have a chance to say a good word frr the Kine Rasp- 

 berry. The plant is very healthy and robust, and exceedingly productive. 

 The fruit is as large as an}- berry of its class that I have seen, and that 

 includes about all the new ones. Its color is very bright for a red variety, 

 and its flavor is equal to that of any of them. My experience with it is 

 that the berry is firm enough to ship to any market in good condition. In 

 season it is among the very earh* ones. Prof. H. E. VanDeman.
