ROUGH RIDER (Perfect). Said to be of size and shape of Bubach and as productive as 
Sample; requires strong, rich soil and good care, when it cannot be beaten. 
SAMPLE (Imp.). This new berry originated in Massachusetts. It is of large size, 
quite firm, commences to ripen m.id-season and continues till very late, keeping up a con- 
tinual supply of large berries to the end. The foliage is large and healthy, blossom im- 
perfect, fruit of good quality. It is truly a marvel of productiveness and a variety which 
will yield dollars to those who plant it. 
SAUNDERS (Perfect). Large, deep glossy red, good poUenizer; yields good crops on 
light soils. 
SHARPLESS (Perfect). A well-known and popular variety, producing large berries 
of mild, pleasant flavor. Berries are large, color bright crimson. Its large, handsome 
fruit and good quality have made it a favorite. Mid-season. 
SOMERSET MAID (Imp.). Mr. Carr of Massachusetts says he recommends this as one 
of the very best fancy berries to set in his vicinity. Fruit very large, bright scarlet and 
firm, and bears immense crops on high or low land. 
STEVENS LATE CHAMPION (Perfect). This is one of the most profitable and productive 
late berries we know of, and seems to do well in almost all soils and locations. Berries 
large in size, dark red, and firm. 
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 poUenizers 
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.). Medium 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 average, half their length. Qui 
t anes should be cut 
out after the freeze 
of winter. Black- 
caps are raised sim- 
ilarly to the Red 
varieties; they may 
be raised on lighter 
soil than the Red. 
In pruning the bear- 
ing 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 plants 
are strong growers 
and ripen up the 
fruit quick.
