THE GARDEN CULTURE 



OF SMALL FRUITS. 



By Mr. Charles Henderson. 



A Bet of complete instructions, 

 in pamphlet form. We will send 

 this free to customers applying 

 for it.

very sweet and melting; have no hard core. Price, 10c. each, 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100.

Rathbun Blackberry. £? a f£ i°V. 



fruit. New varieties appear so rapidly and are 

 usually 6iich a slight improvement on the stand- 

 ard sorts that caution is necessary ; but after a 

 trial of this we are so impressed by its great 

 value that we unhesitatingly recommend it. No 

 matter from what standpoint it is judged it will 

 bear the most rigid inspection. The plant is 

 very vigorous, branching naturally, producing 

 an abundance of fruiting canes and an abun- 

 dance of large, luscious fruit. It "suckers" but 

 slightly, the roots are strong and branching, 

 penetrating deeply into the soil, a valuable char- 

 acteristic in dry seasons and locations. 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 Black- 

 berry. For table use, for canning or for culinary 

 purposes it is equally desirable. It literally melts 

 in the mouth. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., 

 §6.00 per 100. 



THE "MUNGER" FANCY RASPBERRY. 



RASPBERRIES. %$&& 



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



TTti£» * < IVl it ttcrfif " The Munger is a seedling from Schaffer's 

 1 I1C ITIUUJ^CI. 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, 10c. each, 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 



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 firm- 

 ness and is thus well adapted for standing long shipments. In 

 time of ripening it follows Tyler and precedes Gregg. The bush is 

 extremely vigorous and remarkably free from disease. Price, 10c. 

 each, 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00. 



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

 the Cuthbert, which grew near a Gregg. Vigorous, hardy, produc- 

 tive; fruit of large size and great excellence. Price, 10c. each, 12 for 

 75c, 100 for $5.00. 



Gregg. Canes of strong, vigorous growth. Berries very large, with 

 heavy bloom.

 and hardy. 



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

 of good size, jet-black.

 derfully productive. Fruit of good size, firm and sweet.

 ness. Seems to succeed wherever red sorts will do well, and promises
