MILLER RED 

 RASPBERRY 



■ This new Red Raspberry originat- 

 ed in Sussex county, Dr-laware, 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 s«agon-, round in 

 shape, color a bright red, does not 

 fade, but will hold its color after 

 shipment longer than any other red variety, core very small, doss not crumble, 

 making it the firmest and best shipping berry in existence, has not the flat taste 

 of some varieties, but a ricJi, +ruity flavor entirely its own. The time of ripen- 

 ing is with the very earliest, the first picking being with Thompson's Early, 

 June 11th, the Miller producing double the quantity of berries at each picking 

 that Thompson did, in the same field under the same conditions continuing un- 

 til 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, gravelly and heavy clay soils with equal success. To sum up it possesses 

 the following points of superiority as compared with otner varieties: 1st. It 

 ripens with the very earliest. 2d, Productiveness equal to any. 3d. Has no 

 equal as a shipper. 4th. Perfectly hardy. 5th. Quality unsurpassed. 6th'g At-
