 a less number. 



ALTON 



A variety from Utah, the land of big things, 

 which comes to us with an endorsement that is 

 certainly astonishing, such as, "Without doubt, 

 the greatest red raspberry"; "Berries are enor- 

 mous in size, delicious in flavor, beautiful in 

 color, perfectly formed, a marvel of productive- 

 ness; the largest raspberry known." etc.; ''The 

 Alton is in a class of its own. It wins the 

 admiration of all who see it in fruit." It is said 

 to be ^perfectly hardy, having withstood the win- 

 ter of Minnesota and North Dakota unharmed, 

 and to be the most productive of all red rasp- 

 berries. It begins to ripen in early June and 

 continues for a long season — throughout July, 

 August and September. Has not as yet fruited 

 at Monmouth, but the past season, our first ex- 

 perience with it, the canes made a satisfactorv 



growth. Sucker plants, dozen. $1.50; 100, $10.00. • ^-n i t, • - i

' bluntly conical, deep crimson, moderately firm 



and of high quahty, being rich and sprightly. 

 Canes of strong growth, with large, healthy 

 foliage, but not entirely hardy of late years at 

 the north in winters of unusual severity. Ripens 

 in midseason until late and succeeds every^vhere. 

 even at the south. Dozen, 50c.; 100. $2.00; 1,000, 

 S15.00. Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



EMPIRE 



A variet}' from the Hudson River Valley; the 

 home of the famous Hudson River Antwerp. 

 The berries are of enormous size, slightly coni- 

 cal, clear light crimson in color, show}', of ex- 

 cellent quality and very firm. Canes at place of 

 origin grow ten feet high and are literally loaded 

 with berries. It ripens early. We regret to 

 report, like other varieties of the Antwerp tN^pe, 

 the canes do not grow well at Monmouth, and 

 we recommend it only for points where the Ant- 

 werp varieties succeed — in the latitude of New 

 York Citv and northward. Strong plants, dozen. 

 $1.25; 100, 88.00. 



CARDINAL (Cap) 



_ A giant variety in cane and berry. The ber- 

 ries of dull purple-crimson are of high qualit>' 

 and are excellent for making jelly and jam. 

 Canes both hardy and prolific. Succeeds every- 

 where, even at the south where most varieties of 

 red raspberries fail. Its dull red color gives 

 even freshly picked fruit the appearance of stale 

 berries, and for this reason it usually does not 

 sell well in market. Ripens in midseason until 

 late. 



As Columbian and Haymaker are so very like 

 Cardinal, and no better, we omit them from the 

 catalog. Tips, dozen. 50c.; 100, $2.00. Trans- 

 planted, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



-^CUTHBERT 



An old and well-known variety, introduced by 

 us in 1878. For twenty-five years it was the 

 most largely planted of all red' Raspberries and
