quality, and very prolific. Hardy far 
north without protection. One of Prof.

first to be considered as it is hardy to 
Manitoba. Another of Prof. Hansen's 
productions.

few thorns, and very free from diseases.

of all raspberries. , ,

dark red, firm and excellent. Very vig- 
orous and hardy. Often declared to be 
the most profitable raspberry on earth. 
Red Varieties

all over the ground near them, so they 
must be confined to narrow rows by run- 
ning the plow through them frequently 
during the growing season. With Proper 
care and cultivation they excell all other 
raspberries in quality and- equal them in 
productiveness. i„„„-

of the best quality. ; ■ ,

ing variety. Bright crimson large, 
sweet and good. Very prolific; the new
