Biiissoii DeGaillon orRca B ish Alpine (Frenc/O —Tbis variety is 
remarkable for its total destitution of runners; hence they always grow 
in neat, compact bnuches. The fruit is conical, red, highly flavored; 
a very desirable kind for edging beds. It bears abundantly through 
the whole year, especially from June to January. Must be planted 
ftunnally to bear well; reproduces very well from the seed, which is the 
best method of propagating the Bush Alpine. 
Raspberries. 
French Ever-benring Bnspherry {Three crops a year).— Yery large; 
deep eiinison; quite early and productive. The second crop, which 
ripens before the first one is done witli, bears the largest berries, as big 
as a blackberry, and conical shaped. The third crop ripens in the fall, 
from September to December. 
We highly recommend this imported old French variety for the 
beauty and large size of its fruit, splendid flavor and incessant bearing. 
The vices that bear the second crop die out with those of the previous 
year; but thn vines bearing the third crop need only to hive their tops 
clipped off down to where the vines are green.
