TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS

Cuthbert. I doubt if there is any variety tbat will surpass it (see page 28) 

 RASPBERRIES, continued 



"It is the best variety among the reds." The plant 

 is a strong grower, with vigorous, heahhy foliage, 

 and I unhesitatingly recommend the Cuthbert for 

 home use or field culture. Season of ripening 

 medium to late. 



KING. Red. This is the earliest red Raspberr>'. 

 With many it is the early berries that make the 

 money. Round, of large size, light crimson, firm and 

 of good quality; a seedling of Thompson and ripens 

 about the same time but is larger and more produc- 

 tive. It makes a good growth and is verj' hardy, 

 standing cold and heat where many others fail; its 

 bright color and firmness make it a favorite with 

 those who grow Raspberries for market. 



ST. REGIS. Red. This new addition to the Hst 

 of red Raspberries has sprung into prominence al- 

 most over-night, and it is a very valuable addition. 



It succeeds upon all soils, whether light sandy or 

 heav>- clay, and the canes are absolutely hardy, 

 always and ever\"where. In growth it is strong and 

 stalky, with a great abundance of healthy, dark 

 green foliage; it is the only variety known that 

 gives a crop of fruit the same year planted, and two 

 crops a year thereafter. Plants set in early spring 

 will give a small crop of fruit the fall following, and 

 the next spring a big crop, equaling that of any red 

 Raspberry known. In size, quantity and quality, 

 to say nothing of its fall-bearing qualities, it is 

 ahead of anything I know of as a spring- and 

 summer-bearing variety. About the middle of 

 August it commences to set fruit on the young canes, 

 and bears continuously until frost. The berries are 

 large, beautiful and attractive. If you have failed 

 with every other variety of Raspberries, either north 

 or south, plant St. Regis and succeed, whether 

 growing for home use, or 

 market. You cannot af- 

 ford to ignore this, the 

 most wonderful of all red 

 Raspberries. (See p. 28.) 

 GOLDEN QUEEN. 

 Yellow. Undoubtedly the 

 best of the yellow va- 

 rieties, and the fact that 

 it is a seedling of the 

 Cuthbert is a strong rec- 

 ommendation within it- 

 self. It is very productive 

 and hardy; the berries are 

 large in size, beautiful 

 pale yellow in color and 

 e.xcellent in quality; me- 

 dium to late and con- 

 tinues a long time in 

 bearing.
