RED RASPBERRIES 



General List of Varieties 



CUTHBERT.— Introduced by us in 1878 and 

 still among the most popular sorts. Berries of 

 large size, deep crimson, moderately tirm and 

 of high quality, being rich and sprightly. Canes 

 of strong growth, with large, healthy foliage, 

 but not entireh- hard}- of late years at the 

 North. Ripens in midseason. 



Sucker plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50: 1.000, 

 S30.00. Transplanted plants, dozen. $1.25: 100, 

 S6.00. 



ERSKINE PARK (Everbearing).— A giant 

 in arrowth and size of fruit, this variety does 



wonders where the soil and climatic conditions 

 are favorable. It should not be planted too far 

 south nor on soil too light, but where the soil 

 is a good quality of loam or clay loam and the 

 summer heat not too great, it is really all that 

 could be desired. As Erskine Park is fre- 

 quently lacking in pollen, it is always well to 

 plant a few of the variety St. Regis near it. 

 To get the best results, it is best to cut the 

 canes of Erskine Park down to within a few 

 inches of the ground each spring. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, Sl.OO: 100. 

 S6.00: 1,000, S40.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 51.50: 100, S8.00. Extra heaw fruiting age 

 'jlants. dozen, $3.00: 100. $15.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. — Introduced by the 

 Monmouth Nursery in 1885. A sport of the 

 Cuthbert and similar to it in all respects except 

 color, which is a clear, translucent amber. Of 

 luscious quality and a valuable variety- for the 

 home garden. Though not red, we class this 

 with the red varieties, as it is of the same habit 

 and requires the same culture. 



Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00: 100. S7.50. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50: 100, $10.00. 



KEVITT'S HYBRID.— This variety, which 

 is of very strong growth, is unquestionably 

 among the hardiest of all. It is one of the few 

 sorts that came unharmed through the severe 

 winter of three years ago. Ripens here about 

 Tune 15th and continues for fully four weeks. 

 The berries closely resemble Cuthbert. as does 

 also the plant, but it impresses us as being, if 

 anything, an even better sort than was the 

 grand old Cuthbert in its palmy days. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen. $1.50: 100. 

 $7.50. Heaw transplanted plants, dozen. $2.50: 

 I'OO, S12.00. 



KING. — In this extra early variety are united 

 earliness. bright color, firmness and excellent 

 quality of its berries with vigorous growth, 

 oroductiveness and hardiness of cane. 



Sucker plants, dozen, Sl.OO: 100. $5.00 

 Transplanted plants, dozen. $1.50: 100. $7.50. 



OHTA.— Produced by Prof. Hanson, that 

 most successful originator of new fruits, and 

 said to be an extremely hardy, vigorous grow- 

 ing 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, $1.00: 100, S5.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100. $7.50. 



WELCH. — 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 to ship well a long distance. The canes 

 are vigorous, hardy and productive. Superb for 

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

 100, $5.00. Transplanted, dozen. SI. 50: 100, 

 $7.50. 



CAP RASPBERRIES 



IMPORTANT.— These are propagated by 

 rooting the tips of the canes, and young plants 

 are very difficult to make live when planted in 

 the autumn. It is with pleasure I am enabled to 

 offer transplanted plants of all these varieties. 

 They are large and strong and transplant with 

 the greatest ease and certainty of living when 

 planted in the fall. 



Price, all varieties transplanted plants, dozen. 

 Sl.OO: 100. S5.00. 



CUMBERLAND.— Produces the largest ber- 

 ries of any blackcap that we have ever grown. 

 The jet-black berries, of superb quality, are 

 freely produced in midseason. 



KANSAS. — Ripens earlier than Cumberland 

 and is just the variety to precede that sort. It 

 is exceedingly prolific of large jet-black berries, 

 which are firm, sweet and excellent. 



PLUM FARMER.— A distinct and valuable 

 variety. Berries are large, of meaty texture 

 and very firm: black with a grayish cast and 

 of highest quality. Canes vigorous, hardy and 

 prolific. Ripens early and matures its crops 

 quickly. 



SCARFF. — A seedling of the once popular 

 Gregg, but in every way superior to its parent. 

 Its fruit is almost, if not fully, as large as Cum- 

 berland, and it is produced in much greater 

 profusion than that variety. Absolutely hardy 

 and a vigorous grower. 



WINEBERRY 



This decidedly unique and valuable variety is 

 a strong rampant grower; the canes are thickly 

 covered with purplish red hairs. Berries of 

 medium size, the color of sherry wine, spark- 

 ling, with a brisk, pleasant sub-acid flavor. 

 Canes of strong growth, as hardy as an oak. 

 and yield enormously for a long season. Ex- 

 cellent as a dessert fruit, but especially valu- 

 able for canning and for making a delicious 

 wine. Heavy transplanted plants, dozen. $2.50; 

 100, $15.00. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 



Of herbaceous habit and truly ■"everbearing." 

 producing great quantities of most attractive 

 sparkling crimson berries from early in July 

 until frost. In the fresh state the fruit lacks 

 flavor, but when cooked, especially when mixed 

 with other Raspberries, it is delicious. Dozeii 

 $1.50; 100. $8.00.
