 the best red varieties. It is one of the old standard. ^ grower, with healtliy foliage, and on sood soil is very 

 reliable suits that give a good crop of largi' red berries. J productive. It is unquestionably the best red rasp- 

 It is probably more largely grown than any other va -^ berry of its seasjn. It is mid-season to late. A va- 



riety in the country whether for market or home use. 

 The" berries are large in size, deep crimson in color: 2 



rietv that I unhesitatinglv recommend. 



CUMBERLAND (Black Cap).— One of the best, 

 if not the very best, of all the black caps. It Is very 

 hardy and productive. In size the fruit is simply 

 enormous, far surpassing any other sort. The hemes 

 run seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and are of 

 such handsome appearance that they are sure to bring 

 a good price. It follows I'almer and Souhegan and 

 precedes Gregg a short time, making it a mid-season 

 variety. The bush is exceedingly healthy and vigor- 

 ous, throwing out stout stock canes. We have some 

 very fine plants and I think you will be pleased with 

 them. 



KING iKedi. — The leading red raspberry of the 

 early kinds, and unites earliness, large size, bright 

 color, firmness of flesh, good (|uality and productive- 

 ness. It makes a vigorous growth, and is veryk hardy. 

 Time of ripening is early. Its lively bright color and 

 firmness make it a favorite market berry to ship. It 

 is very hardy, standing cold or heat where many others 

 fail. Scaicely too much can be said in favor of this 

 variety. 



CRIMSON BEAUTY i K<<1 1 . — A very hardy, 

 rank-growing variety that is highly recommended, and 

 especially for the family garden. Many points of su- 

 periority are claimed for it by the introducer.
