Cnthbert (Queen of the Market) — The latter title Is Indeed true, since as a market variety It is a relgnlnt; 
sort. Of large size and fine flavor, reliable and an enormous bearer; rich crimson; firm, excellent for market 
and shipping ; largely used everywhere, and best of its color. 
Gregg — The largest, best and handsomest hardy black raspberry; fully 50 per cent larger than the Mammoth 
Cluster, and very far superior. Is a dark purple berry, very large, early, and ripens the entire crop in about two 
weeks; canes hardy, fruit of good quality, and an enormous bearer; grows from tips, not suckers. 
Miller — Berry large as Cuthbert, holding Its size to the end of the season; round in shape; color bright red, 
does not fade, but will hold its color after shipment longer than any other red variety; core very small, does not 
crumble, making It the firmest and best shipping berry in existence; has not the flat taste of some varieties, 
but a rich, fruity flavor entirely its own. The time of ripening is with the very earliest. Production equal to 
any. 
Shaffer's Colossal — Colossal both In bush and berry; carries to market well; excellent to dry and unsurpassed 
for canning; berry dark crimson in color and excellent in quality; a very valuable variety; does not sucker, but 
roots from the tips like black caps. ' 
Souhegran — A black variety, and the very earliest, coming in with the late strawberries; perfectly hardy, of 
vigorous growth; canes branching freely and very productive; jet black, without bloom; of the best quality. 
The berries remain a long time after ripening without dropping or becoming soft. 
Turner — A red sort, popular throughout the West, hardy and productive. 
Blackberries 
This fruit requires a well-drained, moderately rich soil, northern exposure^ preferred. We 
consider it one of the best paying- crops. 
Suyder 
Erie — Same type as Kittatinny. 
Kittatlnny— A most excellent variety. The past season rows twenty-five rods long produced nearly five crates 
at a single picking of the very largest, best flavored fruit, and sold at 50 cents a case higher than Snyder Berrv 
very large and late. Picked fruit until September 1. Rusts in some localities, but we have never been troubled 
Snj-der — Undoubtedly the most hardy In cane and most prolific variety In existence and if left on the bushes 
until fully ripe is really a good berry. Season early; berry of medium size. 
Early Harvest — -The standard early; ripe 
ripe before raspberries are gone. Cane not 
entirely hardy. 
Eldorado — Almost as large a berry as 
Kittatinny; not so good in flavor, but withal 
a good one ot plant. 
Mercereau — A most phenomenal grower, 
and very prolific, of larger, better flavored 
berries than Kittatinny. We have planted 
it only in a small way. but cane Is very 
hardy, and from Its general appearance 
think it will prove a good one. 
Lueretia Dewberry — We have a very 
large demand for plants, which goes to 
prove that the dewberry is winning Its way 
to the front. The cane will not withstand 
our cold winters, but can easily be covered 
with old hay or straw for protection. Berry 
five times as large as Snyder. (See cut.) 
Austin's Dewberry — Originated by J. W. 
Austin, of Texas; said to be superior in 
every way to Lucretia. 
Rathbun — A cross between dewberry and 
blackberry; berry very large. We have never 
heard an unfavorable report. Propagates 
from root cuttings or tips. Cane Is much 
hardier than dewberry and grows more 
upright. 
Janeberry — Cold or heat, wet or dry, the 
Juneberry seems to get along any way, and 
always produces fruit. But the market is 
limited, and hence can never be a profitable 
fruit plant, but you will always have fruit 
if you plant Juneberry.
