Gentlkmen: — In reply to your inquiry on the Ohio Raspberry, will say it is hardy and 
very productive, fruit of good size, fine Havor and firm : consequently excellent forshipping. 
It tnkes nearly threequarts of fruit for one pound of dried, ami wlien a grower gets 25 cents 
per pound for dried fruit, or iti that proportion for fresh fruit (viz. SI cts per qt. ) he ii doiiiff 
far better than vnth any other farm crop. My opinion is that the Ohio is one of the best, if 
not the bt!:t, of all the black raspberries that wo have in cultivation. Tliis oj)inion I have 
formed after fruiting it tor several years. 
Very trul)',

Gentlemen : — Regarding the Ohio Raspberry: it is very lianly and extremely jiroduc- 
tive. The fruit is of good size and a first-class shipper. Tlie liavor is excellent, sweet and 
spicy. I consider fifty bushels per acre a fair average crop for yearling bushes and 100 
bushels per acre for bushes two years old. I have grown, myself, over sixty-six busliels 
per acre from one year old bushes and sold my fruit for 10 cents per quart. I consider this 
the best black raspberry to-day known, either for home use or for market. It continues in 
full picking from three to five weeks. 
Respectfully yours,

Gentlemen : — I have the Ohio for three years and I like it. The fruit is of good size, 
good Havor and ships well. Under unfavorable circumstances I picked from three acres, 
over 60 bushels the first year of fruiting. I have got eight acres to pick this year.

Gents: — For about fifteen years, I have made the raising of small fruits anil vines a 
specially. During that time I have raised extensively the Doulitilc, Mammoth ('hi.stor, 
Miami, Ontario, Ohio, &e. Have now among my varieties Mammoth Cluster, Gregg, Doo- 
little and Ohio. Have made plants as well as fruits my especial study. I do not hesitate 
to endorse fully the above claims in favor of the Ohio. I consider it in all respects the best 
Black Cap known to me.

Dear Sirs: — I have packed large quantities of raspberries for several j-cm-s, but find 
none preferable to the Ohio. In fact, no other variety equals them in .sninlitv; tiiev have 
less seed, shrink less, and retain perfectly their natural Haver. I value llieiu liighly.

Gentlemen: — In reply to your inquiry on the Ohio Raspberry will sav that I have 
found it perfectly hardy and very productive. The berry i.s of good size and shijis excel- 
lently well. From my own experience and what I have seen of others, I regard tliis berry 
as one of the best, if not the very best of all black raspberries for general cultivation.
