RASPBERRIES 



Will do well on any soil that will produce a good corn crop. 

 Land should be thoroughly prepared and well enriched* 

 ground bone is one of the best fertilizers. Keep well culti- 

 vated and free from weeds and suckers. As soon as they have 

 done bearing, cut out the old wood to give more vigor to the 

 young canes. Plant in rows 5 feet apart, 3 feet apart in rows.

RED RASPBERRIES

 color, rather soft; rich, sprightly flavor, unrivalled for can- 

 ning, etc. Bush vigorous and productive; immense cropper. 

 By mail, 10 for 90 cts.; 100 for $6.50. 



Cuthbert ("Queen of the Market.") A remarkably strong, 

 hardy variety; standing the northern winter and southern 

 summers equal to any. Very large, conical berries, measur- 

 ing three inches around, so firm they can be shipped hundreds 

 of miles by rail in good condition; flavor is sweet, rich and 

 luscious. The leading market variety for main crop. 



Herbert. In hardiness it easily takes first place, standing a 

 lower temperature than any other kind. The cane is very 

 strong and vigorous, slightly prickly, leaves large and 

 healthy, and has never been affected by Anthracnose, or 

 disease of any kind. Fruit bright red, somewhat oblong, 

 larger than Cuthbert and 5 to 6 days earlier. Flavor very 

 sweet and juicy, the very best for table use. Enormously 

 productive. By mail, 10 for $1.00; 100 for $7.50. 



King. Pronounced the best early red raspberry by many of 

 the leading horticulturists. Plant a strong grower, very 

 hardy and productive. Berry is firm, a good shipper ;1 arge 

 size; beautiful bright scarlet color; ripens with the earliest. 



Marlboro. Large size, light crimson color; good quality and 

 firm. Vigorous and productive. The best, well tested, 

 large, early berry for the North. 



Ruby. Ripens with the earliest, continuing a long season. 

 Fruit large, bright red, exceedingly firm, excellent quality. 

 Strong grower, large hardy canes. One of the most profit- 

 able early commercial sorts among the bright reds. By 

 mail, 10 for 90 cts.; 100 for $6.50. 



St. ReiiiS. (R anere -) Fruit commences to ripen with 



the earliest and continuing on young canes 



until October, many quarts often being picked after the first 

 snow falls. Berries bright crimson, large size, rich, sugary 

 with full raspberry flavor. Flesh firm and meaty, a good 

 shipper. Wonderfully prolific, the first or main crop equalling 

 any red variety known. Canes stocky, of strong growth, 

 with abundance of dark green leathery foliage. By mail, 

 10 for $1.00; 100 for $7.50. 



YELLOW RASPBERRIES 



Golden Queen. A beautiful, large golden yellow berry 

 surpassing Cuthbert in size, beauty, quality and adapt- 

 ability. Canes hardy, of strongest growth, productive. 

 By mail, 10 for 90 cts.; 100 for $6.50, 



BLACK RASPBERRIES 



"Black Caps" are more successfully planted in^the spring. 

 Pinch them back early, or when the young canes are about 

 2 % feet high, to keep the bushes snug and compact and to 

 avoid staking. All kinds of Raspberries are benefited by 

 mulching, both in summer and winter. 



Cumberland. The largest of all Black-caps. A healthy, 

 vigorous grower, throwing up stout, stocky, well branched 

 canes that produce immense crops of berries. Fruit very 

 large, firm, quality about the same as Gregg, keeps and 

 ships as well as any of the blacks. The most profitable 

 market variety. Mid-season. 



Kansas. Strong, vigorous grower, standing extremes of 

 drought and cold, and bearing immense crops. Early, 

 ripening just after Palmer. Berries size of Gregg, of better 

 color; jet black and almost free from bloom. 



Plum Farmer. A variety from northern New York, and a 

 few days later than Palmer maturing the entire crop in a 

 very short period, making one of the most profitable early 

 market sorts. The berries are thick-meated, firm, with a 

 bloom similar to Gregg. Berry large and very attractive 

 when picked ready for market*
