THE BARNES BROS. NURSERY CO., YALESVILLE. CONN. 
"It is certainly the finest black raspberry we ever had in our section." 
New York. 
-B. J. Case, 
.CONRATH. One of the very early varieties, but of the Gregg type, being large, firm 
and sweet. It is very productive and valuable for an early variety. 
GREGG. An old variety, the 
standard of size and productiveness 
by which other varieties are compar- 
ed. Its late ripening, large size, 
make this variety a favorite. 
CUMBERLAND. The fruit is 
simply enormous; the berries meas- 
ure nearly an inch in diameter; but, 
in spite of this, are unusually firm 
and thus well adapted for standing 
long shipments. In time of ripening 
it precedes Gregg. The bush is ex- 
tremely vigorous and remarkably 
free from disease. 
KANSAS. Strong, vigorous grow- 
er, standing extremes of drought and 
cold, and bearing immense crops. 
Berries size of Gregg, of better 
color; jet black, and almost free 
from bloom; firm, of best quality; 
early. 
MUNGER. The fruit of Munger 
is black, and very large and firm; 
splendid for canning, and brings a 
larger price in market than other 
sorts. 
NEMAHA. The Nemaha is an 
excellent, large, black, g;ood quality, 
late variety; in Wisconsm large fields 
of the Nemaha are seen. It origin- 
ated in that state, and therefore it 
is no wonder it is hardy. One 
CUMBERLAND 
grower in Wisconsin who has ten 
acres of this famous Raspberry, 
says: "Nemaha yields 150 
bushels to the acre." Before 
this variety was known, Gregg 
was the only extra large leading 
black cap. Nemaha excels it in 
hardiness of bush and in quality 
of fruit. 
PLUM FARMER. Mr. Farmer, 
the introducer, says it is the very 
largest black cap 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 ob- 
tained from Mr. Farmer. 
RED AND YELLOW VARITIES 
PHOENIX. This is a very 
superior extra early red variety; 
is phenomenally hardy and needs 
no shortening in. Even the end 
buds carry out their full quota 
of fruit. It thrives on land that 
is wet or dry, poor or rich; but 
fertilize highly if you want the best PHOENIX
