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 I\'larlboro arc best 
for these locations. 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. The fine old stand-by. Berries late, very 
large and finest quality. Does best on uplands or hillsides. A 
very vigorous grower and succeeds on poorer soils than other 
varieties. 25 for §1.00; $3.50 per 100; s$30.00 per 1000. 
MARLBORO. Very large, early and productive. Practi- 
cally identical with Ruby. Price same as Cuthbert. 
HERBERT. Berries of immense size and best quality. Ex- 
tremely productive. Ripens in mjdseason. Very popular in 
Northern New England and New York because of its extreme 
hardiness. Supply of plants very short. 25 for $1.25; 100 for 
$4.50; 1000 for $35.00. 
IDAHO. The most productive and largest red raspberry. 
Perfectly hardy. Fruit rather arid for eating fresh but good for 
jelly and jam. Price same as Herbert. 
GOI-DEN QUEEN. Exactly like Cuthbcrt except in color. 
Sold out. 
ST. REGIS. The much advertised ever-bearer. A widely 
planted commercial variety south of New York City but should 
l3e planted for home use only in the North. The earliest rasp- 
berry. Price same as Cuthbert. 
OHTA. An extremely hardy variety grown considerably in 
the IVIiddle West and also south of the commercial raspberry belt. 
Very good quality but a light yielder. 25 for $1.50; 100 for $5.00. 
ERSKINE PARK. This widely advertised variety is of no 
great value for home or commercial planting, but .should be of 
much interest to plant breeders. Very hardy, vigorous and a 
splendid plant-maker. It blossoms much more than St. Regis in 
the Fall and its only fault is its failure to bear berries of value. 
Price same as Ohta.
