GENERAL LIST OF RASPBERRIES. 
Stouhegan. This variety is noted for vigor and hardi- 
ness as an early berry. I have fruited it for years, 
and it has proved beyond a doubt an excellent berry. 
It ripens very early, and is gone when the Gregg 
comes. I can heartily recommend it to my custom- 
ers and the general public. It is larger in size than 
the Doolittle, and not inclined to rust. 35 cts. per 
doz.,75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Ohio. This berry is one of the most profitable for 
evaporating on the list at the present day. The 
fruit is of medium size, but very sweet ; one of the 
best for table use ; I think it ahead of the Gregg for 
family, as it is not so seedy. I recommend it as 
one of the very best, it being very hardy, of vigorous 
growth, more so than Gregg, and ripening earlier. 
50 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Greg g. This variety, like the Wilson strawberry, is 
too well known to need description. Canes very 
large, hardy and productive ; the largest raspberry 
that is grown. I have known four thousand quarts to 
be picked from one acre. It sells more readily than 
other varieties that come at the same time, and its 
size will sell it every where. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. 
100, $6 per 1,000. 
Doolittle. This is an old variety, and some think it' 
has seen its day, but I can make more clear profit 
from an acre of it than from any other. It seems 
that everybody has of late years been planting 
Gregg, the late variety, and paid no attention to 
earliness. In view of its great productiveness, we 
would advise a more general planting for market 
purposes. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
CUTHBERT RASPBERRY. 
Red Raspberries. 
Marlboro. The largest of the early red raspberries, 
ripening a few days later than Hansell. One of the 
best red raspberries for the north. The canes are 
hardy and fairly productive. Fruit large, luscious, 
bright crimson, and of good quality. It may be con- 
sidered the finest and best early hardy raspberry. 
50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
Shaffer’s Colossal. A red or purple variety, which 
is very valuable for canning or home use, but useless 
for market purposes. It has neither quality nor 
color to self it, and on the market it is a drug. 
As it is so very productive, in many localities it would 
be of value ; here, it sells for less than the black. 
50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, S8 per 1,000. 
Cuthbert. There is no finer berry grown than the 
Cuthbert. I have grown them one inch in diameter; 
they would look like strawberries on the vjne. The 
bushes were red all over. There is no red raspberry 
that will pay me as well as this, to my knowledge. 
The canes are large and straight, holding up the 
fruit from the ground. If I were to begin berry- 
growing again, I would have the Cuthbert for my first 
red variety. 35 c. per doz., 75 c. per 100, J6per 1,000. 
Brandywine. The fruit of this variety is very hand- 
some and produces well, but winter-kills with us. 1 
have fruited it in past years very largely, but of late 
only enough for fancy trade. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. 
per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Herstine. A very good berry ; stands the winter 
well ; canes hardy ; very early and productive. 
Often sells for five cents per quart more than late 
varieties, on account of its peculiar and handsome 
appearance. Crimson color ; very firm, making it a 
good shipper. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per too, , 
1,000. 
Rancocas. As a very early berry this variety hplds 
a high position. It ripens its fruit in a brief space of 
time, a desirable feature in an early berry, as it gen- 
erally brings about double the price of a medium. 
Fruit rather large, roundish, bright crimson, juicy 
and very good quality ; canes with us are hardy ana 
productive; a good early berry. 35 cts. per doz., 75 
75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Turner. Berries of large size ; very hardy; extra- 
earlv, bright crimson color and very sweet ; one of 
the best for family garden. 35 cts. per doz. , 75 cts. per 
100, $6 per 1,000. 
NOTE. — By mail, add 50 cts. extra on 100; one dozen mailed post-paid.
