RED RASPBERRIES, continued 

 w 11 Red. This is the standard early variety. As a shipper it is unsurpassed, as 



iTiariDOro. j^ jg noted for its firmness both on the bushes and in shipping. It is pro- 

 ductive of large, crimson, juicy berries. The bush is an upright, vigorous plant. It is 

 greatly appreciated in New Jersey. The Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station says: 

 "The best red variety for Colorado." The Cornell Station and the Maryland Station give 

 good reports of it. 



Red. A production of Prof. Hansen, of Dakota. It fruited for us 

 this year for the first time and, judging from one season, it proved 

 itself to be the best red Raspberry- we have ever grown. The fruit is a 

 beautiful scarlet in color, of excellent quality and large size. The plant, 

 coming from Minnesota, is ver\- hardy without protection; it was the 

 most healthy and vigorous red Raspberry on our place this year; 

 no other produced such great quantities of uniformly 

 good berries that are firm enough to grow com- 

 mercially for shipping. Be sure to plant a few in 

 your garden; you will be pleased with it both in 

 quality of the fruit and vigor of the plant. Stock 

 very limited. 



Red. A new Raspberry from 



New York. It is a very tall, 

 strong grower and has stood 20 degrees below 

 zero without injurying the buds. Berries are of excellent 

 quality, highly colored ver>' bright scarlet, mammoth and 

 uniform in size, and grows in clusters. Immensely pro- 

 ductive and continues to bear through a long season. VV. 

 O. & H. \V. Davis, leading commission merchants of New 

 York City, say of it: "It is the best Raspberry ever shipped 

 to New York. On a low market this variety sold at 8 cents 

 per pint, while other varieties were bringing but 4 and 5 

 cents." This is a berry worthy of your consideration and we 

 believe you will not be disappointed in it.

 most wonderful of all red Raspberries. It is one of the best

SO DO WE 



We have been getting plants from you for twenty years, always find them 

 A No. I. and have never failed to get good stand, but once, that owing to 

 two weeks continued very wet. warm weather just when they arrived. 

 Could not get them set out. and just as soon as they were in the ground a 

 three days' fierce wind — and then drought. We are now in our new home, 

 moved from Maryland in November, and want to find a kind or two that will 

 do well here. We always recommend ".^lien's Plants." — Elizabeth Hooves,
