SUCCESS (Perfect). This is the largest and best extra early berry we have ever fruited; 
would not be a good shipper, but for a nearby market can't be beaten for its season. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC (Perfect). A large, handsome berry with healthy foliage and 
finely colored fruit. It is one of the best berries we know and one of the best pollenizers 
for pistillate sorts. 
UNCLE JIM (Perfect). A moderate plant maker, but the plants are large and make 
good rows. Fruit is large, high quality, handsome, firm for so big a berry. 
WARFIELD (Imp.). Medmm size, dark red in color, splendid shipper. If the plants 
are not left too thick it is unsurpassed in productiveness. 
WM. BELT (Perfect) . Large size, bright, glossy red. In productiveness, size and quality, 
Wm. Belt will scale high. 
RASPBERRIES 
CARE AND CULTURE OF RASPBERRIES 
Any ground capable of raising good general crops is suitable for raspberries, or they 
may be grown at a profit in young orchards. Red raspberries, for field culture, should be 
planted in rows 7 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the rows; for garden culture, 4x5 feet. 
The canes should be cut back within a few inches of the ground immediately after planting. 
In pruning the bearing canes, cut back, on an avcrasjc, half their length. Old canes should 
be cut out after 
the freeze of win- 
ter. Blackcaps 
are raised sim- 
ilarly to the Red 
varieties ;theymay 
be raised on light- 
er soil than the 
Red. In pruning 
the bearing canes, 
cut back about 
three feet. 
BLACKCAPS 
BLACK DIAMOND 
We have not 
fruited this berry, 
but it is said to be 
a very large berry, 
fully as large as 
Gregg and a week 
earlier and jet 
black; the jjlants 
are strong growers 
and ripen up the 
fruit quick. "It 
is certainly the finest black raspberry we ever had in our section." — B. J. Case, New Vork. 
PLUM FARMER. Mr. Farmer, the introducer, says it is the very largest Blackcap he has 
ever grown or seen, more productive than Kansas or others that he has tested. It is very 
firm and of best quality. Our stock was obtained from Mr. Farmer. 
GREGG. An old variety, the standard of size and productive- 
ness by which other varieties are compared. Its late ripening, large _ 
size, make this variety a favorite. 
CUMBERLAND. The fruit is simply enormous; the 
ure nearly an inch in diameter, but, in spite of this, 
usually firm and thus well adapted for standing lo: 
ments. In time of ripening it precedes Gregg. The 
extremely vigorous and remarkably free from disease. 
KANSAS. Strong, vigorous grower, standing 
extremes of drought and cold, and bearing im- 
mense crops. Berries size of Gregg, of better ! 
color, jet black, and almost free from bloom; firm, 
of best quality; early.
