RASPBERRIES. 
Oi all the fruits grown by the amateur 
or professional, none will give greater, re- 
turns for the time and money expended than 
these. They thrive well everywhere and 
produce enormous crops of fruit, which al- 
ways sells at good prices. We believe there 
is no surer road to fortune for any young farm- 
er residing near any of |the large cities of the 
country, than to plant several acres of small 
fruits for market purposes. The earliest and 
latest ripening varieties are the most profit- 
able, though mid-season sorts should also be 
planted to give a succession thn>UEhout the 
fruiting season. We send out only extra 
strong, healthy plants, which will give good 
results and satisfaction to our customers under 
ordinary good care and condition.

standing our severe winters without the least 
damage, as well as the extreme heat of south- 
ern states. It is extremely early, making it 
invaluable to fruit growers and others who 
want a good fruit for the early market. The 
berries are of good size, firm texture and 
great keeping qualities. Its appearance is 
most handsome, being a deep, glossy, jet 
black, nearly free from bloom. On the mar- 
ket in competition with other standard va- 
rieties it commands a much higher price an<l 
is always most eagerly sought after by the 
best trade. Prices same as Cumberland. 
It is with much 
pride that 
we offer this most excellent black raspberry 
for the first season, knowing that our limited 
stock will hardly go round our many custom- 
ers, and keep the price in reach of all, b-it feel 
that the public should have the opport nity 
of testing it, especially in* the northwest. 
Size of friiit larger than Cumberland or Kan- 
sas, very solid ami iiangs well after ripening.
