BLACKBERRIES, continued. 
Kittatinny. Large ; juicy, sweet and 
excellent. 
Snyder. An old but extremely hardy 
variety, producing moderate-sized fruit 
of good quality ; especially adapted for 
market purposes. 
Taylor's Prolific. A valuable late fruit- 
ing variety, producing large berries of 
high quality ; extremely hardy. 
Waclinsett. Medium, oblong berries 
of good quality ; nearly thornless. A fine 
shipping variety. 
Wilson Jr. Large ; sweet and 
juicy; early, hardy and pro- 
ductive. 
"ICEBERG." The new white Black- 
berry, the paradox of the fruit world. 
This wonderful berry is the origination 
of the far-famed Luther Burbank, whose 
remarkable success in the production of 
valuable new plants has given him the 
title of the "Wizard of Horticulture." 
The well-known Lawton, which is, when 
ripened, unsurpassed in quality, and very 
generally known as a most profitable 
market variety, was a great grandparent 
of the Iceberg. The fruit is not only 
white, but so transparent 
that the seeds, which are 
unusually small, can be 
seen in the ripe berries. 
The clusters are larger 
than those of Lawton, the 
berries as large; earlier, 
sweeter, more tender and 
melting throughout, but 
firm as Lawton when ripe. 
Cumberland Blackcap Raspberries. 
RASPBERRIES. 
A fruit adapted to a variety of soils, giving abundant crops with comparatively 
little care, the quality and quantity of which, however, is in direct ratio with the care 
and cultivation accorded. For garden culture, plant in rows 4 feet apart, plants 2 to 
3 feet apart in the rows. For field culture, plant in rows 4 feet apart and the plants 
3 feet apart in the rows. In trimming in spring, depend upon the strong canes for 
fruiting purposes, shortening back the laterals to within 6 or 8 inches of the stalk, and 
cut away all old, useless wood.

CUMBERLAND. This new claimant 
for honors in the Raspberry market has 
fully sustained the ^reat reputation it 
made so soon after its introduction. It is, 
without doubt, the finest black Raspberry 
ever grown, far exceeding in every re- 
spect that old standard, Gregg, which 
has been a favorite so long. It is the most 
profitable and desirable market variety, 
being termed "Business Blackcap" by
