Quality RASPBERRIES 



(Continued) 



COLUMBIAN (Cap) — Because of its dull red color this is not 

 a good market variety; but for the home garden, where quality 

 counts most, it is one of the very best. It may well be described 

 as a "purple cap" sort, quite distinct from either the red-fruited 

 or black-cap varieties. The fruit, which is dull purple-crimson, 

 is of high quality and is excellent for making jelly and jam. 

 Canes both hardy and prolific. Succeeds everywhere. Ripens 

 in midseason, continuing quite late. Heavy tip plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $2.50; 

 100, $15.00. 



CUTHBERT— Introduced by us in 1878. For twenty^fiye 

 years it was the most largely planted of all red Raspberries and is 

 still very popular. Berries of large size, deep crimson, mode- 

 rately firm and of high quality, being rich and spicy. Canes of 

 strong growth, with large, healthy foliage, but not entirely hardy 

 during severe winters. Midseason. Sucker plants, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $35.00. Wonderful heavy fruiting 

 age plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN— Introduced by us in 1885, and by far 

 the best yellow-fruited variety. Though not red, we class this 

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

 same culture. Of luscious quality and a valuable variety for the 

 home garden. Sucker plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. 

 Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $25.00. 



HERBERT — Introduced from Canada a few years ago, this 

 is proving a highly satisfactory market sort in New York State 

 and New England. Extremely disease resistant, a splendid seller in nearby 

 markets where its size never fails to win customers. A good yielder under 

 all conditions and quite hardv. Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $5.00; J, 000, $35.00. 



LA FRANCE 



THE entire history of Raspberries teaches us that the greatest surprises, 

 resulting in improved lines, have come from among seedlings of rela- 

 tively obscure origin or unknown parentage. La France is a striking ex- 

 ample of this kind. Discovered, now nearly ten years ago, here in the 

 East, among a lot of seedlings supposed to have 

 originally come from France, this has fully justi- 

 fied all claims made for it and fully maintains 

 today its position as one of the very finest in its 

 class. Such berries, as are shown in picture, are 

 borne in the fall in the same, or even greater, abund- 

 ance as throughout the summer months. La France 

 is extremely hardy. The quality of the fruit is 

 "best of all." Often reaches the height of nine feet. 

 The late crops (when the fruit is most highly prized) 

 are at times even heavier than the early ones. The 

 fruit is borne on racemes. Branches frequently 

 show the remarkable combination of buds, blooms, 

 fruit just setting, green berries, and the ripened 

 fruit. The berries are deep pink, juicy and of de-

 AND STILL AMONG THE BEST 



licious flavor. The fully developed fruits are about 

 twice as large as the average, while individual drupes 

 are two to three times as large as those of the aver- 

 age sort. Selected sucker plants, dozen, $4.00; 

 100, $25.00. Heavy fruiting age plants, dozen, 

 $7.50 ; 100, $40.00. 



Why Raspberries Delight 



No other berry brings us all desirable quality char- 

 acteristics in so strong a degree as Raspberries. 

 Flavor, color and general appearance combine to 

 make this the quality fruit "par excellence." And 

 the everbearing varieties help much to prolong the 

 season of this "delight to the palate".
