Conrath (Cap). — The best of the well tried 

 early black caps, being early, large and hand- 

 some. As a variety uniting earliness, vigor, 

 hardiness, large size and productiveness, it 

 excels all varieties except the new Stone 

 Fort. It resembles the old Gregg but it does 

 not present the mouldy appearance of that 

 sort, its berries being almost jet black, firm, 

 sweet and meaty. It holds its large size to 

 the close of the season. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.50; 

 1000, $9.00. 



Golden Queen.— Introduced by me in 1885, 

 and still the best yellow Raspberry in culti- 

 vation. Especially desirable for the home 

 garden. In all but color it is similar to the 

 Cuthbert, having canes of equal vigor and 

 even greater productiveness. Berries are large, 

 translucent, delicate golden yellow, and of high 

 quality. Midseason. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.50; 

 1000, 110.00. 



King. — The leading red raspberry and the 

 best of the well-tried kinds. It unites earli- 

 ness, large size, bright color, firmness of flesh 

 and good quality with productiveness, vigor- 



ous growth and hardiness of cane. It ripens 

 very early, is exceedingly bright and lively in 

 color, so firm as to ship long distances with- 

 out injury, and stands pre-eminent for 

 endurance of cold in winter and the heat and 

 drought of summer. Too much cannot easily 

 be said in its favor. It drops quickly from 

 the stem when ripe — a feature disliked by 

 some but regarded as a desirable one bv 

 other growers. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.50; 1000, 

 $10.00. 



Munger (Cap) .—A fancy black cap of great 

 size; roundish in form, jet black, firm and of 

 sweet flavor. Its canes are strong, upright 

 growers, hardy and regular bearers. One of 

 the best for canning and the home garden. 

 Doz., 30c; 100, $1.50. 



Kansas.— The most reliable and the best black 

 raspberry for general cultivation ; and on ac- 

 count of its being so reliable with such fine 

 fruit, it has become widely popular. The canes 

 are of strong growth, hardy and wonderfully 

 prolific — much hardier than the once popular 

 Gregg — and the berries do not have the objec- 

 tionable bloom or mouldy appearance of that 



variety. Fruit of large size, jet black,' extra 

 firm, sweet and rich and excellent. One of the 



very best shippers. Ripens in midseason and 

 matures its great crop quickly. Doz., 30c; 

 100, 11.50; 1000, $8.00. 



Ruby. — A very early, bright red Raspberry, 

 producing great crops of extra large, exceed- 



ingly firm and showy berries, and possessing,, 

 as well, canes of strong, vigorous growth and 

 iron-clad hardiness. 



The originator of it says: ''This berry is 

 certainly a great acquisition. In comparison 

 with King it will produce double the quantity 

 of fruit, is firmer, larger and better in flavor. 

 It produces at the rate of 10,000 pints per 

 acre, which sold at an average of eight cents 

 per pint wholesale.'' It is not an untried 

 variety, having been extensively grown in 

 field culture at its home in New York State 

 for many years. Ripens with, or in advance,, 

 of the King. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000^ 

 $15.00.
