OTHER NEW RASPBERRIES 
than Souhegan. It is of a jet-black color, firm texture, 
and delicious quality. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$0 per 1,000; transplants, 60 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, 
$8 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, with a bright, healthy color resembling 
Ohio, and are quite as hardy. One peculiarity of 
Eureka is that it seldom throws more than four new 
Golden Queen. 
COLDEN 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 fora particularly luscious and beau- 
tiful berry. 40 cts. per doz., 75cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000; 
3,000 lots at $4.50 per 1,000. 
LOVETT. A superior early blackcap and markedly 
distinct from all others. The canes, which are thorn- 
less, 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. 
KANSAS. There are few if any of ,the blackcap 
Raspberries that impress us more favorably than this. 
It succeeds wherever tried, and will fast supersede such 
varieties as Gregg. For a market berry we believe it 
has no equal. Its handsome appearance will always com- 
mand a ready sale; in quality it is as good as 
the best. Plant is a strong, vigorous grower, 
with healthy, clean foliage. Can highly recom- 
mend it for general planting or a home garden. 
Kansas produces more canes and branches, 
covered with a 
thick blue Oioom, 
and is much 
larger, than 
Gregg; makes a 
vigorous growth 
through the en- 
tire season, holds 
its foliage un- 
injured till frost, 
makes plenty of 
strong tips that 
are absolutely 
hardy to stand 
the changing cli- 
mate, produces a 
fruiting spur 
from every bud, 
and a berry as 
much larger than 
Gregg as those of 
Gregg are larger 
Eureka. 
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 100, $8 per 1,000. 
ROYAL CHURCH. This promising new Raspberry 
originated in Ohio. The introducer describes it as fol- 
lows: "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 buslj; the thorns are few and 
small; the berries do not crumble in picking, and have 
very few seeds. The canes are perfectly hardy wher- 
ever 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. 50c. 
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 Cregg, 
Souhegan and Tyler, bearing a full 
crop of fruit 
where Cregg 
was almost a 
total failure. We 
have claimed for 
Nemaha that it 
was hardier than 
Cregg, and three 
years’ good trial 
proves our claim 
to be very well 
founded.” Such 
an opinion from 
such a source is 
valuable to fruit- 
growers. 50 cts. 
per doz., $1 per 
Kansas. 100, $8 per 1,000.
