RASPBERRIES 
Raspberries are probably the most reliable of all 
berries to raise. They are pretty sure to mature a 
good crop and the market is never fully supplied 
with them. Plant on good, well-drained soil and 
cultivate often. Fertilize with chemicals. Some 
wood ashes may be used. As a rule, it will pay best 
to use manure on some other crops. Avoid planting 
Cuthbcrt and Herbert on river banks or in frosty 
hollows. June and Marlboro are best for these loca- 
tions. A field of Cuthbert should yield profitably for 
ten years or more and the early varieties and black- 
caps are good for about five years. 
CUTHBERT. Berries late, very large and finest 
quality. 75c. per 2'-, ; $2.00 per 100 ; $1.5.00 per 1000. 
MARLBORO. Very early, large and productive. 
As Marlboro and Ruby are practically identical, I 
am not listing the latter variety. 75c. per 25; $2.00 
per 100; $13.50 per 1000. 
HERBERT. Berries of immense size and best 
quality; extremely productive. Midseason. 75c. 
per 25 ; $2.50 per 100 ; $17.50 per 1000. 
IDAHO. Perfectly hardy anywhere, largest red 
raspberry. Fruit acid, good for jam. Has yielded 
5000 (|uarts ])cr acre with me. Price same as Her- 
bert. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. Exactly like Cuthbcrt ex- 
cept in color. Price same as FTerbert. 
ST. REGIS. The most widely misrcjiresentcd 
raspberry. It is nice to have in the home garden as 
it is the earliest of all to ripen. It sometimes bears 
a good crop in the I'all and nearly every year a small 
crop, but as a commercial berry it is a failure in New 
England. From New York Ci'tv south it is the lead- 
ing market variety. Pcrfectlv hardv. Price same as 
Cuthbcrt.
