 Berries are large, of a bright golden-yellow and of high 

 quality. Midseason. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



LOUDON. Excellent as this fine raspberry is, it yet 

 lacks the firmness of flesh and bright color essential to a 

 successful market berry such as is possessed by the King 

 and Miller raspberries. In size and quality it is very 

 fine indeed and is a splendid variety for the home garden 

 or the local market. The canes are strong growers, with 

 bright, healthy foliage, exceedingly prolific and entirely 

 hardy. The berries are large and beautiful, dark crim- 

 son, not verv firm, rich and juicv. Ripens shortly in 

 advance of Cuthbert. Doz., 40c; iOO, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



PHOENIX. Few surpass this as a general-purpose 

 berry where favorable conditions prevail. On rich soil 

 it thrives and produces fruit that is superb, but requires 

 generous treatment to be profitable. Its canes are vig- 

 orous, exceedingly prolific, with foliage that has never 

 been known to rust, blight, or scald. The berries are 

 large and globular, of a bright crimson color, firm, 

 meatv, and solid, with a pleasant sweet flavor. Earlv.

LOGAN BERRY. 



verij earliest ra 



This very unique and remarkable berry should 

 find a place in every garden. That it has become 

 popular is an evidence of its merit, and the pecu- 

 liar combination of the Raspberry and Blackberry 

 in its make-up gives it an additional interest to 

 fruit-growers. 



The berries are of great size — equaling large 

 blackben-ies. which they resemble in form and 

 structure, hut are deep reddish-maroon in color. 

 In flavor it is rich and sprightly — a mingling of 

 the raspberry and blackberry, the raspberry pre- 

 dominating, mellowed and refined, yet distinct 

 f lom either — melting and without core. The fla- 

 vor is so luscious, novel, and rich the berry can- 

 not fail to please everybody as a dessert fruit. 

 For canning it is superior to all the other small 

 fruits, and for jellies and jams it is unequaled 

 also. The canes are of strong, vigorous growth, 

 semi-trailing in habit, and are clothed with an 

 abtindance of large, dark green, leathery foliage. 

 "What gives special value to this novel fruit is its 

 earliness — ripening as it does at the close of the 

 strawberry season, and in advance of all but the 

 spberrii'S—conthnung each year to give ripe berries for three weeks.

 The red raspberry plants sent by you some weeks ago ar- 

 rived in fine order. They were so well packed that they looked 

 as if just taken from the ground. They had been very care- 

 fully taken up also, as the fibrous roots showed no breakage.

 Regarding plants and bushes bought of yon, I will state the 

 case in very plain language, that they have turned out true to 

 name and very satisfactory in every instance. On some kinds 

 your prices are a little higher than some others, but my experi- 

 ence of sixteen ilC) years in this place with plants and bushes 

 has convinced me that I can always depend upon stock from 

 you. and so inform my neighbors. W. B. BESLEY.
