CONRATH. {^Cap). By far the best of all 

 the thoroughly tested blackcaps ripening early. 

 It possesses earliness, vigor, hardiness, large 

 size and productiveness, surpassing by far Souhegan 

 or any of the other standard early sorts. The 

 berries are as large as Gregg, glossy black 

 (without the woolly appearance of that berry i , 

 firm, sweet and meaty, maintaining their large 

 size to the close of the season. Canes of strong 

 growth, with healthy foliage, very hardy and 

 wonderfully productive. Always profitable and 

 satisfactorv everyway. Doz., 30c.; 100, $1.25;

CUMBERLAND. Cap ^. The largest 

 black cap in cultivation. It is of im- 

 mense size, longer than the\' are broad, 

 resembling blackberries ; jet blaclc with 

 very little bloom, very firm, and of best 

 quality, sweet and pleasant. Its canes 

 also are above the average, being large 

 and vigorous growers, unrivaled in hardi- 

 ness and wonderfully prolific, yielding 

 large crops each 3-ear. For large size, 

 vigor, hardiness and productiveness, it is 

 unexcelled. Midseason. Doz., .3oc. ; 

 lOT), S1..50; 1000, 812.00. 



CUTHBERT. Still remains one of the best 



and continues to be planted largely for market. 

 There are but few 

 red raspberries and 

 none of its own 

 season, so good. 

 The canes are 

 strong growers with 

 large, healthy foli- 

 age, and exceed- 

 ingly prolific under 

 good culture. The 

 berries are large, 

 deep crimson, me- 

 dium in firmness 

 and of good spright- 

 ly flavor. It does 

 well at the South 

 and on the Pacific 

 coast as well as at 

 the North. Mid- 

 season to late. Doz. 

 $10.00.

ful appearance. It is especially desirable for the 

 home garden its fruit contrasting finely on the 

 table with the red varieties. It is identical with 

 Cuthbert in all but color, being a seedling or sport 

 of that variety, and its canes are of equal vigor 

 and even greater productiveness. Berries large, 

 translucent golden vellow and of high quality. 

 Midseason. Doz., 3oc. ; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



Don't forget Mersereau, the great new Black- 

 berry. See description pages 14 and 15. I
