Brandy wine. —This once popular berry Is now 

 superseded by Cuthbert and others. Its bright crlm- 

 som color, good size and firmness, render It valuable 

 for market, but it lacks vigor of cane and is only pro- 

 ductive on good soil. It is very attractive, and grown 

 to some extent. Doz., 35c: 100, 1.00; 1000. S8.00. 

 CUTHBERT {Qneen of the 3far7fet).— The 

 leading late market variety and 

 best red raspberry in cultivation. 

 No other of its class has proved of 

 such general adaptability and it is 

 grown successfully in nearly all 

 parts of the United States and 

 Canada. The canes are hardy 

 and of strong rampant growth, 

 with large, healthy foliage, and 

 exceedingly productive. Berries large, dark crim- 

 son, quite firm and of good flavor. More largely 

 grown than all the other red raspberries combined. 

 Season late. Doz., 35c: 100, §1.00: 1000. S8.00. 

 OOIiI>£N QUEEN.— The best yellow rasp- 



ries of large size, bright crimson, good quality and 

 firm. Upon strong soil the yield is very large and m 

 some locations it is regarded as the best of all. Doz., 

 35c; 100, Sl.OO; 1000, ^8.00. 



MARLBORO,— The largest of the early red 

 raspberries, ripening a few 

 days later than Hansell. 

 Whilst this is one of the 

 best red raspberries for the 

 North it will not endure hot 

 suns or southern skies, be- 

 ing evidently of foreign par- 

 entage. The canes are 

 hardy and fairly produc- 

 tive. Fruit exceedingly 



large, bright crimson, and of fair quality. Under 

 proper conditions, viz., cool, northern exposure, it 

 may be considered the best early hardy raspberry. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, S8.00. 

 I Ohio or Alden (Cap).— This is a popular sort in 

 western New York for evaporating purposes, being 

 ^ exceedingly productive and the fruit retaining its 

 flavor and shape better than most other varieties; it is 

 also said to require less fresh berries to the pound of 

 dried fruit. The berries are of good size, of clear 

 shining black and good quality. Ripens in midsea- 

 son. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



PROORESS (Pioneer).— In some respects sim- 

 ilar to Souhegan but its canes are of much stronger 

 growth and its yield is even greater. It is entitled to 

 high rank among blackcaps and is a most profltable 

 market sort. It is entirely hardy. Berries jet black, 

 very firm and of good quality. It has been largely 

 grown by practical fruit growers and has proved one 

 of the best early sorts ever introduced. Doz., 40c; 

 berry yet introduced. Briefly stated it is a yellow j loo, $1.50; 1000, $9.00. 



Cuthbert, of large size, great beauty, high quality, Sliafier's Colossal.— An immense raspberry 

 hardy and productive. It is of a beautiful translu- j both in cane and fruit, and especially adapted to the 

 cent amber color and exceptionally flrm. The canes I South. Canes are of wonderful vigor and size, hardy 

 are of the strongest growth and succeed admirably j and enormously productive. Berries are large, of a 



at the South and in California. It is a most valuable 

 raspberry for the amateur and no home garden is 

 complete without it; its beauty, size and fine quality 

 render it indispensable for table use. Ripens in mid- 

 season. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00: 1000, $15.00. 

 GREGO (Cap).— The leading late blackcap and 

 a popular market sort.Canes 

 of strong vigorous growth 

 and under good culture, 

 very productive. Berries 

 very large, covered with 

 heavy bloom, flrm, meaty, 

 and of flne flavor. It re- 

 quires good strong soil to 

 produce best results and re- 

 sponds liberally to generous 

 treatment. It is not entire- 

 ly hardy but sufl^ers during unusually hardy winters. 

 Doz., 85c: 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Hansel!.— The earliest red raspberry. Profltable 

 on account of its extreme earliness, bright attractive 

 color and flrmness. Canes rather small, but exceed- 



dull purplish, unattractive color, rather soft, but lus- 

 cious and of a rich, sprightly flavor, whilst its color 

 and lack of flrmness renders it unfit for market pur- 

 poses. It is unrivaled for family use and for canning. 

 Late. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



SOTJHEGAN or TYLER.— A very early 

 blackcap and the leading 

 early market sort. It ripens 

 its entire crop in a very short 

 period. Canes vigorous andj' 

 hardy, with foliage healthy' 

 and free from rust; wonder- 

 fully productive. Fruit of 

 good size, jet black with but 

 little bloom, firm and of 

 sweet pleasant flavor. Doz., 

 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



Turner (Southern T'to7-n7ess).— Extremely har- 

 dy and desirable as an early sort for the home gar- 

 den, but too soft for market purposes. The canes 

 make a strong, healthy growth and are very produc- 

 tive. Berries of good size, bright crimson color, soft 



Ingly hardy and productive: with tough, healthy fol- and of honeyed sweetness, 

 jage, enduring the hottest suns with impunity. Ber- | $1.00; 1000, $7.50.
