RATHBUN BLACKBERRY. 



• The plant is very vigorous, branching naturally 

 producing an abundance of fruiting canes and large 

 luscious fruit. The fruit is very large and hand- 

 some, intense, black with a very high polish and 

 without any hard core, juicy, high flavored, of so 

 superior a quality that it is in a class by itself. Those 

 accustomed to the old varieties would scarcely recog- 

 nize it for a Blackberry. For table use, for canning 

 or for culinary purposes it is equally desirable. It 

 literally melts in the mouth. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 each, $1.00 per doz., $5.00 per 100, $40.00 per 1000.

-^RASPBERRIES.^ 



BLACK VARIETIES. 



(If wanted by mail, add lOc. per dozen.) 



"TU- " T^wt-tnor " '^^^ Munger is a seedling from Schafler's 

 I lit; 1 lUll^cr. Colossal. It has been thoroughly tested 



by leading horticulturists, who praise it highly. Although a seedling 

 of Schaffer, it shows no trace of such parentage whatever, but resem- 

 bles more closely the Gregg in plant and fruit. The fruit is black and 

 resembles Gregg very much. It is a better-flavored berry than Gregg, 

 tougher in texture, and therefore a better shipper. In size it excels 

 Gregg, and is extra fine for the table and preserving. (See cut.) Price, 

 60c. per doz.. $4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1000. 



Cumberland Raspberry. In size the fruit is simply enormous, the berries 

 measuring seven-eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, 

 but in spite of this, the fruit is possessed of unusual firmness. Ex- 

 tremely vigorous and remarkably free from disease. Price, 10c. each, 

 75c. per doz., $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000. 



Columbian Raspberry. Most desirable for the garden, a seedling of the 

 Cuthbert, which grew near a Gregg. Vigorous, hardy, productive, fruit 

 of large size and great excellence. Color, dark purple. Price, 10c. each, 

 60c. per doz.. $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000. 



Ohio. Exceedingly productive, very hardy, excellent quality. Berries of 

 good size.

 juicy, excellent flavor, and jet black. 



Palmer, Very early and a grand fruit for family or market. 



RED RASPBERRIES, 



(If wanted by mail, add lOc. per dozen.) 



Cardinal. This wonderful berry is a surprise in the fulness of its merits, 

 great growth, extreme hardiness and wonderful productiveness. It will 

 grow 10 feet high and bear accordingly, producing its choice, rich, red, 

 pure-flavored fruit in marvelous abundance. Leading horticulturists 

 who have seen the berry say it is one of the wonders of the century.
