KANSAS. 
KANSAS. There are few if any of the blackcap 
Raspberries that impress us more favorably than this, 
ft succeeds wherever tried, and will fast supersede 
such varieties as Gregg. For a market berry we be- 
lieve it has no equal. Its handsome appearance will 
always command a ready sale ; in quality it is as good 
as the best. Plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with 
healthy, clean foliage. Can highly recommend it for 
general planting or a home garden. Kansas produces 
more canes and branches, covered with a thick blue 
bloom, and is much larger than Gregg ; makes a vigor- 
ous growth through the entire season, holds its foliage 
uninjured till frost, makes plenty of strong tips that are 
absolutely hardy to stand the changing climate, pro- 
duces a fruiting spur from every bud, and a berry as 
much larger than Gregg as those of Gregg are larger 
than Souhegan. It is of a jet-black color, firm texture, 
and delicious quality. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$6 per 1,000. 
EUREKA. Ripens a few days later than Souhegan 
and earlier than Ohio. Fruit large and firm, almost 
equaling Gregg in size. Quality is of the best. Berry 
free from bloom and very attractive in the measure, 
making it a splendid seller. The canes make a strong, 
upright growth, witb a bright, healthy color resembling 
Ohio, and are quite as hardy. One peculiarity of 
Eureka is that it seldom throws more than four new 
canes each-season to the hill, and never less than two ; 
thus it is not necessary to thin the canes to the proper 
number, as nature performs this task. Its ability to 
bear fruit is truly wonderful. 50 cts per doz., $1.50 per 
too, $10 per 1,000. 
LOVETT. A superior early blackcap and markedly 
distinct from all others. The canes, which are thorn- 
les3, are of strong growth and ironclad hardiness, yield- 
ing enormous crops. The berries are almost as large 
as Gregg; jet black, firm, of superior quality, sweet, 
and with small seeds. Keeps in fine condition for a 
long time. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
ROYAL CHURCH. This promising new Rasp- 
berry originated in Ohio. The introducer describes 
it as follows : “ Berry large, dark crimson, hardy, firm 
and of good quality. Flavor exceedingly delicious, 
aromatic, sprightly ; outsells other varieties in the 
market. It is excellent for canning, or jellies, jams, 
etc. The canes are large, making a fine bush ; the 
thorns are few and small ; the berries do not crumble in 
picking, and have very few seeds. The canes are per- 
fectly hardy wherever it has been tested.” The bush 
is a stout, healthy, vigorous grower, not quite so tall as 
Cuthbert, but rather more stocky and dwarfish. It is 
well calculated to hold up the immense crops of fruit 
with which it loads itself. 5octs, per doz., $1.25 per 100, 
$8 per 1,000. 
NEMAHA. Chas. A. Green says : “We have had 
Nemaha growing near Gregg and other varieties, and 
it has proved much earlier than Gregg, Souhegan and 
Tyler, bearing a full crop of fruit where Gregg was 
almost a total failure. We have claimed for Nemaha 
that it was hardier than Gregg, and three years' trial 
proves our claim to be well founded.” 50 cts. per doz., 
{Si per 100, $8 per 1,000. 
CONRATH. This is a new blackcap, claiming a 
combination of merits which make up an ideal Rasp- 
berry. Its earliness, hardiness, size and immense pro- 
ductiveness place it high in this class of fruits. It is pos- 
sibly a seedling of Gregg, which resembles it in many 
spects. It is two weeks earlier than Gregg. Canes 
strong ; an upright and vigorous grower. Unlike all the 
other early sorts, it bears very large fruit throughout the 
season, the last picking nearly equaling the first in size. 
The berries always leave the stem very easily, and can 
| be gathered without crushing or breaking. We offer 
fine plants of genuine stock. 50 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 
100, jtio per 1,000. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. Evidently close relation of 
Cuthbert. It has stood the winter very well, and fruited 
for six weeks. The canes made a fine growth, much 
better than any other on the farm. In size it exceeds 
Cuthbert, and is wonderfully productive, it being the 
first Raspberry of its kind we could ever do anything 
with in our market ■ but Golden Queen exceeds the 
blackcaps. Its beautiful translucent color attracts the 
eye of those who want the best in the market, and will 
pay a good price for a particularly luscious and beautiful 
oerry. 50 cts. per doz., Si per too, $6 per 1,000.
