THE LOVETT COiWFAA^Y, LITTLE SILVER, N. /. 



A thor- 

 o u g hly 

 good 

 and re- 

 liable early red 

 raspberry ! The 

 five most popu- 

 lar red raspberries before 

 the public are Cuthbert, 

 ^Marlboro, Thompson's 

 Early Prolific, Brandywine and Tur- 

 ner. Mller has now beeti friiiied by 

 many practical fruit groove ?'S in field culture, 

 for several years, who have proved it to possess 

 all the merits of all the five varieties na?ned 

 and who afiirm it has ;iot mafiifested a single 

 defect. Of the early varieties that .have 

 heretofore appeared, all have either lacked 

 vigor or hardiness of cane and have been 

 unsatisfactory in size or firmness of fruit. 

 The Miller is as vigorous and sturdy in cane as the 

 Cuthbert or Marlboro, with equally abundant and 

 luxuriant foliage, /r^'^Z/^t-///^ ^<f/v7V.T fj'lly as large and 

 profusely as either; as early in ripening as Thompson s 

 Early Prolific — until now the earliest red raspberry; 

 as beautiful and brilliant in color as the Brandywine, 

 which it surpasses as a shipper; and in sweet, luscious 

 flavor and hardiness fully equal to Turner — just what 

 we have all been wanting so long but never until now 

 been able to obtain. 



Nothing in the v/ay of red raspberries since the advent of 



the Cuthbert can be compared with the ^Miller in point of 



value. Such large profits were realized from the sale of 



fruit of it by growers in Delaware and New Jersey that 



those having it for years persistently and positively re 



fused to part with plants. 



Ulster Co.. Is". Y., Oct. 8th, 1895. 

 Last spring I bought 200 ]\IiUer Raspberries of you. I fruited them 

 some from the old canes and on my soil they are all that is needed. 

 The berries are hard, hright red, and large. I' think vrhen they bear 

 fully next summer I shall sell many for you. To see them u-ilf he to 

 sell them. H. N. DOTTXER.

Atlaxtic Co.. X. J. I have fruited the Miller Raspberry for four 

 seasons and am entirely satisfied with it as a market berry. T;he fruit /■^-fi^C 

 is large, of good flavor" firm and thus a good carrier. Plants free from , { .^f,/ 

 disease and hard}- — iininjm-ed by the recent cold winter. It ripens 

 Avith earliest; has a long season. ' Last summer, though very cb-}-. I 

 picked for six weeks. A shower of rain will not make them soft. 

 Pickers would as soon pick them as TTilson Blackberry and rather than 

 blackcaps at the same price I have discarded all "varieties such as 

 Cuthbert. Brandywine, Hansell and Turner, and plant oulv the Miller. 

 Commission men tell me it is the best red raspberrv that comes to the 

 Philadelphia market. [The greatest market for red raspbei ■ries in the 

 world]. D. CHAPMA>'.
