GENERAL LIST 
Souhegan. This variety is noted for vigor and hardi- 
ness as an early berry. I have fruited it for years, 
and it has proved bej -'d a doubt an excellent berry. 
It npens very early, a. 1 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, so 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 ot 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. 
30 cts, per doz., gi per 100, $7 per 1,000, 
OF RASPBERRIES. 
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 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 everywhere. 50 cts. per doz.. Si per 
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 Ijas 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 th 
hnrdJ e a nH ra f SI? ^ erneS i or the north The canes ar 
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., $i per ioo, $8 per 1,000. 
Shaffer’s Colossal. A red or purple variety, whicl 
is very valuable for canning or home use, but useles' 
rnior"^ et i, p “. rpose j- 11 , has neither quality no. 
color to sell it, and on the market it is a drug 
As it is so very productive, in many localities it woufc 
be of value ; here, it sells for less than the black 
30 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, #9 per 1,000. 
C ^ 7 r;V There is »» finer berry grown than the 
Cuthbert. I have grown them one inch in diameter; 
they would look like strawberries on the vine 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 
growm ? again, I would have the Cuthbert to r my first 
red variety. 50 cts. per doz., #1 per 100, $6 per 1000. 
Brandywine. The fruit of this variety is very hand- 
some and produces well, but winter-kills with us. I 
have fruited it in past years very largely, but of late 
only enough for fancy trade. 50 cts. per doz., Si per 
100, |6 per 1,000. 
Herstine. A very good berry ; stands the winter 
well ; canes hardy ; very early and productive, 
ulten 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. 50 cts. per doz., |i per 100, $6 
per per 1,000. 
Rancocas. As a very early berry this variety holds 
a high position. It ripens its fruit in a brief space of 
time, a desirable feature in an early berry, as it gen- 
eialiy brings about double the price of a medium. 
Fruit rather large, _ roundish, bright crimson, juicy 
and very good quality ; canes with us are hardy and 
productive; a good early berry. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Turner. Berries of large size ; very hardy; extra- 
early, bright crimson color and very sweet ; one of 
the best for family garden. 50 cts. per doz., Si per 
100, $6 per i,ooo. 
NOTE. By mail, add 50 els. extra on 100; one dozen mailed post-paid.
