Select Rupberries. continued 
Gregg. Of great size, fine quality, very productive; has been a standby and very 
popular for years; several days later than Older and Kansas. No one can afford to be 
without it. Same price as Older. 
Conrath. At present this holds the place for best mid-season blackcap. It is of 
ironclad hardiness; berries large, shiny black and always good sellers. Enormously 
productive and a good shipper. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz.. S2.50 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 
Cumberland. This new berry is a very valuable acquisition. Its hardiness has 
been proven, and will thrive anywhere 
that blackcaps can be grown. The 
quality is very similar and fully equal 
to Gregg. In spite of its unusually large 
size, the fruit is possessed of great firm- 
ness, and is thus well adapted for stand- 
ing long shipments. It follows Palmer 
and Souhegan and precedes Gregg a 
short time, making it a midseason 
variety. The bush is exceedingly healthy 
and vigorous, throwing up stout canes, 
well adapted for supporting their loads 
of large fruit. 10 cts. each, 60 cts. per 
doz., $3 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 
Plum Farmer. A new variety of 
much promise Fruit large, sweet and 
juicy, but firm and excellent for market. 
Season, medium early, very productive. 
Canes very healthy and vigorous. lO cts. 
each, 60 cts. per doz., $3 per 100. 
Purple Cap Varieties 
Cardinal. This wonderful berry is a 
surprise in the fullness of its merits — 
its great growth, extreme hardiness and 
the exceeding productiveness of its choice 
red, rich, pure-flavored berries. It will 
pay. It is not a novelty, but a variety 
of great merit. The Cardinal is claimed 
to grow 10 feet high and bear in propor- 
tion. Leading horticulturists who have 
seen this berry say it is one of the won- 
ders of the century. Judge Wellhouse, 
president of the Kansas State Horticul- 
tural Society, said at the meeting of 
CUMBERLAND RASPBERRIES the Society that the introduction of the 
Cardinal Raspberry would add millions 
to the wealth of the farmers of the country, because of its inherent vigor and exceeding 
productiveness. Seven years' trial on our grounds has verified every claim in the 
above description. 10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz., I4 per 100, J25 per 1,000. 
Haymaker. An Ohio seedling of the Shaffer and Columbian type; fruit a little more 
acid and is later than either, prolonging the season. An enormous producer, excelling 
the Columbian, not so dark colored and is firmer than either of these varieties. Does 
not crumble; stands up well in shipping; quality good, either for table or canning. 
Produces very large crops; stands drought or extreme cold splendidly; a close second to 
the Cardinal; a little larger berry, but not quite so good in cane or foliage. The last two 
seasons this variety has been outdoing the Cardinal, and it deserves first place. The 
flavor is very sweet and rich, making it an especially desirable sort for canning. Very 
much superior to all others of its class. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $5 per 100. 
Red Varieties 
These are multiplied by suckers; they sprout all over the ground near them, and 
must be confined to narrow rows by running the plow through frequently during the 
growing season. If given proper care and cultivation they excel all other Raspberries 
for quality and equal them in productiveness. Taking all their valuable points into 
consideration, we could not think of discarding them.
