Raspberries. 
Meller Red—This new red raspberry originated in Sussex county, Delaware , 
and is very popular with a few fruit 
growers in that section who have 
preferred to market the fruit rather 
than sell the plants. The berry is 
as large as Cuthbert, holding its size 
~ to the end of the season; round in 
shape, color a bright red, does not 
fade, but will hold its color after Ay 
shipment longer than any other red 
yariety, core very small, does not 
crumble, making it the tirmest and 
best shipping berry in existance, has 
not the.flat taste of some varieties, 
but a rich, fruity flavor entirely its 
own. The time of ripening is with 
the very earliest, the first picking 
being with Thompson’s Early, June 
lith, the Miller producing double 
the quantity of berries at each pick- : 
ing that Thompson did, in the same field under the same conditions continuing 
until August 3d—Thompson having been gone three weeks; fully as prolific ‘as 
Cuthbert. It does not seem particular as to soil, having been fruited on light 
sandy, gravely and heavy clay soils with equal success. To sum up it possesses 
the following points of superiority as compared with other varieties: ist. It 
ripens with the very earliest. 2d, Productiveness equal to any. 3d, Has no 
equal asashipper. 4th, Perfectly hardy. Sth, Quality unsurpassed. 6th, At- 
tractive color. a 
The above is what we said last year and it was better the last fruiting /sea- 
son than before. One successful grower in Delaware realized as high as 12c to 
149 per quart at depot, and over $500 from one acre. We have put the price 
low so all may try it. 50c per doz. by mail, $1.25 per 100 by mail post paid; $1
