RASPBERRIES. 
nl uil the IVuit.s i^rowii by the amatcnr or professional, none will give greiiter returns for tht 
time and money cxpcnileii than these. They tlirive well everywhere and produee enormous'crop: 
of truit, which always sells at good prices. We believe there is no sorer road to fortune for any 
young farmer residing near any of the large cities of the country, than to plant several acres oil 
small fruits lor market purpo.ses. The earliest an.l latest ripening varieties arc usuallv the most 
profitable, though mid-season sorts slumld also l)e planted to give a succession throughout the 
fruiting season. 
CULTURE— Plant in good soil, and manure from time to. time freclv. The hills shouhl not be' 
less than four feet apart each way, with two or three plants in a hill. Cut out the oUI and weak 
shoots each year, preserving not over six for fruiting. If the location is so much exposed that 
the plants are inclined to kill down .seriously, they may be bent over in the fall, on mounds of 
earth formed at one .side of the hills and covered suflicRntIv to keep thcni down nutil spring. 
Surplus suckers take strength from the bearing plants. Thev should be cut away or hoed up 
frequently. One acre, 4 feet a part each way , contains 27:^3 hills, recpiiring about 5500 
plants. Where customers wish, we will make selections for one, two, five or ten acre 
plats, giving such varieties as our wide experience has shown to be most desirable for 
their needs and loCJility

I otlHrkn ^ Northern varietv, whicii will 
take the place of all other Red 
Raspberries, with the exception of our Black 
Hills. It was originated by F. W. Loudon, of 
Wisconsin, who says: "The Loudon is a seedling 
of Turner, crossed with Cutlibert; berry is l.'irge, 
color beautiful. It yields 200 bushels to the acre, 
and m.'iy be shipi)ed to New Orleans in good

fect variety, of very vigorous growth, the canes

kill in the least. Berries of large size, handsome

RELIANCE— An old and reli.ible variety. Fruit, large, rou"d, dark red 
with a sprightly, acid flavor. 
RANCOCAS — A very productive, mid-season variety, which ripens its 
fruit very evenly. 
The canes of all these varieties should be cut back to within a few inches of 
the ground immediately .after planting. Cut out all wood as soon as the canes 1 
are through fruiting, to give more vigor to the voung canes. Surplus suckers 
take strength from the bearing plants. Thev sh<nild be cut away or hoed up 
frequently. Unless otherwise noted, 50C per doz postpaid, $1 50 per 100, .fio.oo

RInrW Hill« It originated in Dakota and i.s almost as hardy as an oak. 
uia^^iv iiiii;?. Thefruitisof a rich, red color, extra large and of the 
most delicious quality. One of its best points is its wonderful yields and great 
length of lime il will bear during the summer. The plants"are vigorous in 
growth and so hardy that they have stood our severe winters in theNorthwest 
without any protection at all, always bearing heavily and surpas.sing any 
other sort in both yield and flavor. For large jilanters and tho.se who wish to 
grow perfect fruit for the market we cannot recommend this sort too highly, 
for we know by actual experiments at our nur.serv that it will outvield anv red 
sort and the fruit will sell at a higher price in anv and all markets. For the 
home garden its many good qualities commend it to all housewives who want

Golden Queen. 
!«HAFf-ER'S COLOSSA L-A colossal fruit, both in the plant and the 
acrry, and especially adapted to the South. Berries very large, of 
dull, purplish, unattractivecolor, of a rich, luscious flavor. Unsur- 
nasscd for jams, jellies, canning, etc. Ripens rather late in the season. 
TURNER— Very productive and hardy, ofgood size, light, handsome 
red .'ind of line flavor. 
This variety is a seedling of the Cutlibert, 
but the coh)r of the fruit is a rich golden 
yellow. The flavor is of the highest (lu.ililv. pronounced bv some 
superior to the Old Brinklc's Orange, the "finest flavored of ;dl the 
raspberries. In size equal toCuthbert, ininiense- 
l.v productive, a very strong gri>wer, and hardy 
enough even for the'extrcme northern latitudes, 
having stood uninjured when even the Cnthbcrt 
suffered. The desire for a yellow raspberry of 
high quality, combined with vigorous growth 
;ind perfect hardiness, is believed to be fully met 
in this varietv. 7sc per doz., postpaid; $2 00 per

The Japanese Wineberry. 
The canes of this interesting plnnt are larp;e, ro- 
bust and entirely liartly here; they are thickly 
covered with purplish-red hairs, whieh extend 
■ ilong the stem to the extremity. Each ben-y is 
at first tightly enveloped in the large calyx, form- 
ing a sort of burr, which is also covered with 
purplish-red hairs so thickly as to present the 
appearance of a moss rosebud. These a;radually 
open and turn back, exposinpr the frtiit in all its 
beauty. The berries are of medium size as com- 
pared wilh our raspberries, but are of a beautiful translucent ap- 
pearance running through all the shades of amber to crimson as 
they ripen. There is a freshness and brilliancy about them impossible 
to describe, and we know of nothing in the way of raspberries so 
attractive. In quality the fruit is good . with a rich and sprightly 
flavor, but decidedlv brisk sub-acid. When cooked it is simply grand, 
surpassing by far when canned the huckleberry and all other small fruits. Season of ripening early July.
