RASPBERRIES— Continued 



COLUMBIAN (Cap) 



A giant variet}- that may well be described 

 as a "purple cap" sort, quite distinct from either 

 the red-fruited or black-cap varieties. The fruit, 

 which is of a dull purple-crimson, is of hi^h 

 quality and excellent for making jelly and jam. 

 Canes both hardy and proline. Succeeds every- 

 where, even at the South, where most varieties 

 of red Raspberries fail. Because of its dull red 

 color it does not usually sell well in market, but 

 for the home garden it is one of the very best. 

 Ripens in midseason, continuing quite late. 



As Cardinal and Haymaker are so similar to 

 Columbian and in no respect an\- better, we 

 have discarded them. Extra heavv tip plants, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00: 1,000, $35.00. 



CUTHBERT.— Introduced by us in 1878. 

 For twenty-nve years it was the most largely 

 planted of all red Raspberries and is still verv 

 popular. Berries of large size, deep crimson, 

 moderately firm and of high quality, beinar rich 

 and sprightly. Canes of strong growth, with 

 large, healthy foliage, but not entire^- hard^' 

 of late years during winters of unusual severitv. 

 Ripens in midseason until late and succeeds 

 everj-where, even at the South. Sucker plants, 

 dozen, 75c.; ICO, S3.50. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— Though not red, we 

 class this with the red varieties, as it is of the 

 same habit and requires the same culture. A 

 sport of the Cuthbert and similar to it in all 

 respects except color, which is a clear, trans- 

 lucent amber. Of luscious quality and a valu- 

 able variety for the home garden. Introduced 

 by Lovett's Nursery in 1885, and much the best 

 varietv, producing vellow fruit. Sucker plants, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $7.50. 



KEVITT'S HYBRID.— A strong growing, 



large-fruited variety that appears to be per- 

 fectly hardy. It was one of the few varieties 

 to come unharmed through the severe winter 

 of two years ago. Ripens here about June 

 15th and continues for about four weeks. It 

 is indeed a very promising red-fruited sort. 

 Selected sucker plants, dozen, $2.00: 100. $10.00. 



KING. — In this extra early variety are 

 united earliness, bright color, firmness and 

 excellent quality of its berries with vigorous 

 growth, productiveness and hardiness of cane, 

 its crimson berries are exceedingly bright and 

 lively in color and so firm as to endure long 

 shipment without change, and its canes are 

 very hardy in winter and heat-resisting in sum- 

 mer. Transplanted plants, dozen, SI. 50; 100, 

 $7.50. 



OHTA.— Produced by Prof. Hanson, that 

 most successful originator of new fruits, and 

 said to be an extremely hardy, vigorous grow- 

 mg variety, that produces vast quantities of 

 beautiful large scarlet berries that are firm 

 enough for distant shipment, also to have con- 

 siderable fall-bearing tendencies. Sucker 

 plants, dozen, Sl.OO; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $40.00. 



WELCH. — So sweet and rich in flavor, this 

 was at one time offered as "Honey Raspberry." 

 A midseason variety with berries of extra large 

 size, good, bright crimson color and honey 

 sweetness, melting and luscious; the finest in 

 quality of any offered. It is not firm enough 

 lo ship well a long distance. The canes are 

 vigorous, hardy and productive. Superb for 

 the home garden. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 

 100. SS.^nj. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. — Besides 

 being a most attractive ornamental plant of 

 herbaceous habit it is a truly "everbearing" 

 fruit, producing great quantities of most at- 

 tractive sparkling crimson berries from early in 

 July until frost. This fruit, often of great size, 

 contrasting with the large pure white blossoms 

 and deep green foliage makes a dazzling sight. 

 In the fresh state the fruit lacks flavor but 

 when cooked, especially when mixed with 

 Columbian or other Raspberries, it is delicious. 

 Dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



Mr. J. Garnier, of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes on July 

 8, 1922. as follows: 



"You shipped me early this Spring a few hundred Black- 

 berry and Raspberry tips, which were planted the first 

 of March. Never lest one. I did not expect tip plants 

 to bear this j-ear. but you can imagine my surprise to 

 see them bear three months after planting."
