A DISH OF RASPBERRIES. 
General List of Raspberries. 
Palmer. Has been tested from the Atlantic to the 
’ Pacific, receiving the highest commendation from all 
sources, and is fully established as the best and most 
productive early blackcap yet introduced. It is sup- 
posed to be a cross of Souhegan and Gregg. The vigor 
and healthy appearance of the bush, with its wonderful 
productiveness and its 
early ripening, have 
attracted much atten- 
tion. Since Palmer 
made its appearance it 
has been fruited with 
such popular varieties 
as Doolittle, Souhe- 
gan, Gregg and Ohio, 
and surpasses them 
by far. 35 cts. per 
doz., $1 per 100, $6 
per 1,000. 
Hilborn. Of superior 
quality ; very hardy, com- 
ing from Canada. Fruit not as large 
as Gregg, but will stand cold weather 
much better. It is highly recom- 
mended by state horticultural socie- 
ties, and is becoming very popular 
with commercial growers. It will 
stand drouth better than any other 
hilborn. variety. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$7 per 1. 000. 
Ohio. This herry 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 Gregg for family use, 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. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. 
per 100, ,86 per 1,000. 
Gregg. 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 4,000 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 
everywhere. 35c. per doz., 75c. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
RED RASPBERRIES. 
Marlboro. The largest of the early red Raspberries. 
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 considered 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. 50 cents per doz., $1 per 100, 
$8 per 1000. 
Cuthbert. There is no finer berry grown than Cuth- . 
bert. I have grown berries one inch in diameter ; they 
looked like strawberries on the vine. The bushes were 
red all over. There is no red Raspberry that will pay 
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. 33 cts. per doz., 
75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Thompson’s Early Prolific Red. This is a seed 
ling found among a number of others from selected 
seed. Its early ripening, 
fine, large, bright ber- 
ries and productiveness 
attracted the attention 
of the originator. The 
earliest red Raspberry 
in the neighborhood, 
even ripening before the 
blackcaps. Every fruit- 
grou'er knows the neces- 
sity of having a red 
Raspberry that will come 
on, with good picking, 
just as the strawberry 
season is over. There is 
more money in an early 
red Raspberry with us 
than in any small fruit 
we grow. 35c. per doz., rirrmurm- 
75c. per 100, #5 per 1,000. cuthbert. 
Turner. Berries of large size ; extra-early ; bright 
crimson ; very sweet. One of the best for family gar- 
den. Very hardy. 35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $ 6 
per 1,000. 
NOTE.— By mail, add 50 cts. extra on 100 ; one dozen mailed postpaid.
