 markable berry we have ever fruited, and we predict 

 for it a brilliant future. 15 cents each ; $1.00 per 8 ,

The H.^nsell Raspberry. — This is represented as

 Bros., near Beverly, N. J. It was brought into notice 

 by Mr. J. T. Lovett. Last season the first berries were 

 gathered on the 2Gth of June ; the picking for market 



was made on the 26th of June. A company of several 

 dozen of the most eminent fruit growers of New Jersey, 

 met on the far.m and examined the fruit on the 27th of 

 June, and unanimously agreed that in addition to many 

 good points as a market fruit, it was the earliest red 

 raspberry known.

 ing out till early blackberries come. The canes are
