Raspberries. 
We have planned for some time past to add raspberries to our stock, and with that 
end in view we bought plants of one fine red variety and three blackcaps. The red 
will not be ready to sell till next fall. Of the blackcaps the plants of one kind were 
dead when received, and could not be replaced until the next year, and another did 
not multiply rapidly enough to make sufficient plants, but of the third we have a fine 
stock. This is the 
Plum Farmer — It was introduced by L. J. Farmer of New York, and has been 
in the market some six years. It has given great satisfaction, and growers are en- 
thusiastic over it. In vigor and productiveness it is unsurpassed. It is quite early 
in ripening, and matures its entire crop in a short time. It is of large size, and fully 
up to the standard in quality and appearance. 50 cts. per 12; |2.00 per 100; |15.00 
per 1000. 
Blackberries. 
The Watt.— As promised a year ago, we are now ready to offer this fine blackberry 
to our customers. We have never been in the habit of overpraising varieties that we 
had for sale, and least of all is it necessary in this case. The simple truth is sufficient. 
We have fruited the Watt three years, but have been familiar with it much longer. 
It was found growing wild in an orchard near Lawrence, Kansas, by Mr. D. G. Watt, 
whose name it bears. It was so large and productive and of such fine quality that 
Mr. Watt took it up and planted it where it could have a fair chance. It made a 
good record, and a neighbor of Mr. Watt's called our attention to it as a variety of 
great promise. While growing on Mr. Watt's place it endured a temperature of thirty 
degrees below zero without injury. 
After making the acquaintance of the Watt by report we received a few plants 
from the owner for testing, and also a glass jar of the fruit, which was so fine in both 
looks and taste that it greatly enhanced the value of the variety in our estimation. 
Four years ago we made arrangements with Mr. Watt to have a portion of the stock 
put into our hands to be propagated and introduced, and we now offer it with confi- 
dence, fully expecting that it will occupy a prominent place among the leading varie- 
ties. We do not warrant it to be proof against the diseases and enemies of the 
blackberry, but we believe that it will resist their attacks as well as any, and better 
than some. 
The plant is an excellent grower, nmch better than the Eldorado which was beside 
it, and fully equal to the Blowers which came next. The wood of the Watt is of very 
firm texture, and so tough that the branches rarely if ever split down with their load 
of fruit. In fact its habits of growth and productiveness are such as to commend it 
to all who cultivate blackberries. 
Its period of ripening extends over a very long season, beginning soon after the 
earliest, and continuing till October. Our last picking for market last year was on 
the twenty-fifth of September, but there were berries after October first. The Blowers 
yielded some berries as late but they were not as fine. The fruit is all that could be 
reasonably expected, large, jet black, glossy and attractive, and the quality is 
excellent.
