 GREGG (Cap J. —A popular market sort. Canes 

 of strong vigorous growth 

 and under good culture, 

 productive. Berries very 

 large, covered wiih heavy

 One flavor. It requires 

 good strong soil to produce 

 best results and responds

 ment. It is not entirely 

 hardy, suffering in hard 

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

 ness, bright color and firmness. Canes rather 

 small, but hardy and productive; with tough, 

 healthy foliage. Berries large, crimson, good 

 quality and firm. Canes of rather dwarf habit. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 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 ra pberries for the 

 UNorth it will not endure hot 

 suns or southern skies, be- 

 ing evidently of foreign 

 parentage. The canes are 

 hardy and fairly produc- 

 tive. F.uit exceedingly 

 large, bright crimson, and of fair quality. Doz., 

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

 Ohio (Cap).— This is a popular sort in western 

 New York for evapora- 

 ting purposes, being 

 exceedingly produc- 

 tive and the fruit re- 

 r ai ing its flavor and 

 shape Detter than most 

 other varieties; it is 

 also said to require 

 less fresh berries to the 

 p~>und of dried fruit. 

 The berries are of good 

 size, of clear shining 

 black and good quality. 

 Ripens in midseason, 

 35c, 100, $1.00; 1000, $8 00. 



Doz. 



Older (Cap).— Peculiar from the fact that it is 

 so entirely distinct from other varieties in both 

 cane, foliage and fruit. It is a highly desirable 

 sort and will prove profitable for market and equal- 

 ly satisfactory for the home garden. The benies 

 are large and of shining jet black color. In shape 

 it is of a flattened oval peculiar to itself. In qual- 

 itv it is sweet and rich. Canes are vigorous and 

 productive, of rather dwarf habit and very hardy; 

 foliage tough and free from disease. It will en- 

 dure heat and drought better th-in any blackcap we 



v know Midseason. Doz., 50c; 100, $2 00; 1000. $15.00. 



V Palmer ( Cap). —Similar to Souhegan and, 

 with us, no earlier and but little larger It is 

 doubtless a seedling of that variety and though 

 productive and a vigorous grower, is but a slight 



improvement upon it. At the West, however, it is 

 said to have far exceeded it in all points that go to 

 make a profitable variety. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.25; 

 1000, $10.00. 



PROGRESS (Pioneer).— In some respects 

 similar to Souhegan but /^H^k/ 

 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 profitable market 

 sort. It is entirely hardy. 

 Berries jet black, very firm and of good quality, 



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



Shaffer's Colossal.— Canes are of wonder- 

 ful vigor and size, 

 hardy and enormous- 

 ly productive. Ber- 

 ries large, of a dull 

 purplish, unattrac- 

 tive color, rather soft, 

 but luscious and of a 

 rich, sprightly flavor, 

 whilst its color and 

 lack of firmness are points against it as a market 



, sort. Lite. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $10.00. 

 , SOUHEGAN or TYLER.— A very earty 

 blackcap ao J the leading 

 early market sort. It ri- 

 pens its entire crop in a 

 rery short period. Canes / 

 vigorous and hardy, with! 

 foliage healthy and free j 

 from rust; wonderfully 

 productive. Fruit of good 

 size, j it black with but 

 little bloom, firm, sweet, 

 and pleasant. Doz,, 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



Thompson's Early Proliflc.-Of val>« 

 on accouut of its easi- 

 ness, firmness and bright 

 color. It is similar in 

 size and color to Brandy- 

 wine, but it is of better 

 quality, ripens from a 

 week to ten days earlier 

 and is more productive- 

 Owing to its tough, heal- 

 thy foliage and hardy 

 canes, it does well at the South. 



i $1.25; 1000, $10.00. 



' Turner (Southern Thornless).— Extremely 

 hardy and desirable as 

 an early sort for the 

 home garden, but too 

 soft for market pur- 

 poses. The canes make 

 a strong.healthy growth 

 anl are very produc- 

 tive. Berries of g)od 

 size, bright crimson 

 color, soft and of honey- 

 ed sweetness. The 

 plants sucker immoder- 

 ately anl these should 

 be treated as weeds. [ Early. 

 1000, $7.00.
