RATHBUN BLACKBERRY. 



The fruit is very large and handsome, 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 recognize it for a 

 Blackberry. For table use, for canning or for culi- 

 nary' purposes it is equally desirable. It literally 

 melts in the mouth. This has some Dewberry blood 

 in it and does best from New York City southward.

 per 100, S40.00 per 1000.

THE " HUNGER " RASPBERRY. 



*** RASPBERRIES-Black Varieties. #*# 



(If wanted by mail, add 10c. per dozen.) 



Black Diamond. A berry very popular among western New York growers, a 

 fruit center that stands among the very first. Valuable for evaporating, 

 canning and home consumptions. One of the strongest growers making 

 an abundance of good, clean wood which ripens up well in the fall, thus 

 enabling it to withstand the cold winters remarkably well. Fruit jet 

 black and juicy %vith few seeds. Price, 75c. per dozen; S5.00 per 100. 



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., S4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000.

 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., S4.00 per 100. S35.00 per 1000.

 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., S4.00 per 100, S30.00 per 

 1000.
