-BLACK HILLS RED RASPBERRY. 
PERFECTLY HARDY. 
The urandest and most beautiful borry we have ever seen. It originated 
In Dakota and is almost as hardy as an oak. The fruit is of a rich red color, 
•xtra largre and of the most delicious Quality. One of its best points is the won- 
Scriul J ielua and great length of time it will hear during the summer. The plants are 
Tlgorous in growth and so hardy that they have for seasons stood our severe winters 
in the Northwest, without any protection at all, always bearing heavily and surpass- 
ing any other sort iu both yield and flavor. 
A FEW WORDS FROM ONE WHO HAS GROWN THIS BERRY. 
L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, Minn. , 
Gentlemen: — I have for years tried different Raspberries that I obtained from the 
East, but never found a single variety that would stand our severe winters without 
heavy covering, until I tried the Black 
Hills Red Raspberry. This one is per- 
fectly hardy, standing the winters 
without any protection. Fruit is very 
firm, larger than the black varieties 
and of a finer quality It ia a heavy 
bearer and a most valuable variety.

FAY'S PROLIFIC 
CURRANT 
By many growers this is considered 
the best red variety that has ever been in- 
troduced, and it is certainly one of the 
mo<t prolific currants we know of; the 
bunches and fruit are extra large, the fruit a bright 
rich red and of the most delicious quality. It is very hardy, 
and therefore adapted to all parts of the West and Northwest.

JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 
Prof. Greeson, of the Japanese Imperial Agricultural Col- 
lege, while traveling among the mountains of Japan for rest 
and recreation, came upon this berry growing in a wild state. 
Itsexceedinglusciousness and beauty prompt- 
ed him to dry some of the berries and send 
the seed to relniives in this country, with the 
information that if it succeeded it would 
prove the most valuable berry novelty ever 
introduced. It belongs to the raspberry 
family; is a strong, vigorous grower, attain- 
ing the usual height of a raspberry, and is 
perfectly hardy in all positions without pro- 
tection. It is, in fact. more hardy and vigor, 
ous than any raspberry or blackberry. It 
stands alike thecold of Northern wintersand 
the heat of Southern summers, without the 
slightest degree of injury. Its leaves are of 
the darkest green outside, and silvery white 
underneath. The young shoots or branches 
are covered with a reddish-brown hair or 
moss. The fruit is borne in large clusters, 
often 75 to 100 berries in a hunch. These 
berries are from the time of formation and 
bloom until they ripen enclosed in a "burr," 
which is formed by the calyx covering them 
entirely. When ripe the burr opens, exhibit- 
ing a large berry of the brightest, light glossy 
scarlet, or sherry wine color. The burrs nnd 
stems are covered with a heavy reddish 
moss, like a moss rose bud. The flavor of 
the fruit is entirely different from any other 
berry, being very sprightly, sweet and juicy, 
having no disagreeable sour, but a delicate 
and luscious flavor peculiar to itself, and 
superior to other hemes.

THE NEW GRAPE . . . 
"Cambridge." 
This new Grape we have »^ 
cured at an enormous price, and 
think it will prove to be the- 
finest of all the black varieties. 
It is a seedling of the Con- 
cord, and far superior to this 
well known grape, both in 
quality and yield, and being 
equally as hardy and earlier, it 
will become more popular a» 
soonasonceknown. Wedonot 
believe there is a black grape- 
superior to the Cambridge to 
quality, or one that is more de- 
sirable for either private or 
market use. Price 40c eaoh, 
3 for jSl-OO, 7 for $2-00. 
We will send postpaid
