STANDARD RASPBERRIES 
A Dish of Cuthbert Raspberries. 
GENERAL LIST OF RASPBERRIES. 
Hllborn. Of superior quality; very hardy, coming 
from Canada. Fruit not as large as Gregg, but will 
stand cold weather much better. It is highly recom- 
mended by state horticultural societies, and is becoming 
very popular with commercial growers. It will stand 
drought better than any other variety. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
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 
Palmer. 
much attention. Since Palmer made its appearance it 
has been fruited with such popular varieties as Doo- 
little, Southegan, Gregg and Ohio, and surpasses them 
by far. 35 cts. per doz., $1 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. We think it ahead of Gregg for family use, as 
it is not so seedy, and 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, $7 per 1,000. 
Gregg. This variety, like the Wilson strawberry, is 
too weli. known to need description. Canes very large, 
hardy and productive; the largest Raspberry that is 
grown. We 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, $7 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 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$8 per 1,000. 
Cuthbert. There is no finer berry grown than Cuth- 
bert. We have grown berries l 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 
we were to begin berry-growing again, we would have the 
Cuthbert for our first red variety. 35 cts. per doz., 
75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000; No. 2 plants, $4 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 berries and 
productiveness attracted the attention of the originator. 
The earliest red Raspberry in the neighborhood, even 
ripening before the blackcaps. Every fruit-grower 
knows the necessity 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. 
35 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Turner. Berries of large size; extra-early; bright 
crimson; very sweet. One of the best for family gar- 
den. Very hardy. 35c. per doz., 75c. per 100, $0 per 1,000. 
NOTE. — By mail, add 50 cts. extra on 100; one dozen mailed postpaid.
