Greee Black Raspberry. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES— Continued. 
black raspberry. Cumberland sets so many ber- 
ries that it is absolutely necessary to give It 
a severe trimming. It is covered with berries 
and could not hold up the immense load if 
they should all attain their proper size. Don't 
be afraid to trim them back. Don't let the 
ladies trim them. If you do, you will have too 
much wood to pick over. They are easily 
picked and there is no question as to when they 
are ripe, and a nicer, blacker or finer berry you 
will never see. 
GREGG. Has been the leading market va- 
riety all over the country for years. Evapora- 
tors and canners prefer this berry to any other. 
A standard late Black Cap. It is of good size, 
has a slight bloom, fine flavor, carries well, is 
easily picked. Plants are fairly hardy and it is 
well to plant this variety in combination with 
others. We have grown this variety for many 
years and find it a good money maker. 
KANS.^S. Entirely healthy, with tough, 
clean, hardy foliage. The fruit is very large, of 
black glossy color, entirely free from bloom. 
Firm and of best shipping qualities, wonder- 
fully productive and has an extra long pick- 
ing season. Very valuable for home and 
market. 
EUKKKA. An extra early Black Cap. pro- 
duces a great crop of large berries of good 
size, jet black, and holds its size well to the end, 
and because of its earliness always commands 
a high price. 
CONRATH. A valuable black raspberry and 
a great money maker, originated in this state, 
where it has a great many friends. Coal black 
in color, parts readily from core, good flavor, 
firm and of good size. One of the most pro- 
ductive of the black raspberry family. Is ex- 
tremely hardy. 
Red Raspberries 
lied Raspberries are being recognized as a 
great money maker. An acre planted to as- 
sorted varieties will make an income of several 
hundred dollars per year and come in a season 
when you will have time to look after them. 
They will grow in any soil where water does 
not stand. On high or low land great crops are 
fvrown when they receive proper care. They 
should be planted In six feet rows, plants about 
three feet apart, to get nice large berries. They 
should be trimmed down to about 2 V4 feet high. 
CUTHBERT. Best late market variety, 
strong E-rower, immensely productive, fruit firm, 
large size, of finest quality, season medium to 
late, hardy, yielding immense crops wherever 
planted, a general favorite for an all-around 
berry plant. We advise you to plant it for 
home use or market. 
AULiLER RED. An early berry, does not 
winterkill. We think it. is the best shipping 
berry .e-rown. makes a nice growth of canes; 
for best medium season berry, set Miller Red; 
keens its bright red color a number of days 
after being picked; a good hardy all-around 
berry. 
laXG RED RASPBERRY. This is the 
coming red raspberry, being fairly well known 
now; it is but a question of a few years until 
the King leads them all. The past season they 
brought the highest prices on the market. 
The berries are very large, bright red, firm, 
make a splendid appearance in the box. cane 
hardy and a good grower. It is the earliest 
red raspberry grown, will please you in every 
way. Thrives well on heavy soil. Other kinds 
are rapidly being discarded by those who know 
the virtues of the King raspberry and they 
are planting King. It has continued to increase 
In popularity until the acreage bids fair to out-
