RASPBERRIES 
Culture. After preparing the soil the same as for strawberries, make straight rows 7 feet apart, and plant 
3 feet apart in the row. Mark only one row at a time, and plant when ground is moist. After setting, press the 
soil firmly about the roots with your feet ; this 
is very essential. Cultivate as you would corn 
and potatoes, and do not let any ridge work 
about the row. We cultivate with the Planet 
Jr. Horse Hoe, and practice level culture. You 
can plant anything that will not 
shade them between the rows the 
first year. If manure is plenty 
and you can get it, spread on the 
ground before plowing 
the first year, as it 
adds greatly to the 
crop. The ends should 
be pinched out of the 
young canes when 1 
foot high the first year, 
and the second when 
1 'A feet ; do not let 
them get too high. By 
doing this you will dispense with 
stakes and wire. The pruning 
should be done in spring, when 
the leaves begin to show themselves. Cut the 
laterals on an average from 6 to 12 inches in length. 
When the fruit is all gathered, cut out and burn 
all old wood and young canes hut the best three. 
This destroys all insects and rust that may occur, 
and the canes make a much better growth. 
King Red Raspberry 
This new variety originated in Ohio, and is one of 
the most beautiful Red Raspberries ever put’ on tne market. Its brilliancy of 
color when placed on the market last season created quite a sensation and a 
demand for more of its fruit than could be supplied ; the berries easily brought 
from 6 to 8 cents per quart more than any other varieties. The plant is very 
healthy, robust, exceedingly productive, with strong, healthy canes, hung 
thick with fruit from top to bottom. Fruit larger than in any other red va- 
riety we have ever seen. In quality, it is all that could be desired, and fully 
equal in flavor to any we know. This berry has also the advantage of being 
firm, and will ship to market in first-class condition — a matter of the utmost 
importance to growers. Season about a week later than Cuthbert. Price,

Ohio Experimental Station, Wooster, Ohio, July 24 , 1896. “The King Raspberry is fine indeed. Large, firm, of 
beautiful color, and prolific. It is far ahead of Loudon or Miller here.” — Prof. J. W. Green. 
Cumberland Raspberry 
This berry is offered with the full assurance that it is 
the most profitable and desirable market variety yet 
known, because of its immense size, firmness and great 
productiveness, well entitling it to its popular name of 
the “ Business Blackcap.” 
In Hardiness the Cumberland is all that could be de- 
sired, having undergone without injury several winters 
during which the temperature went as low as 20 de- 
grees below zero. We firmly believe it to be the most 
productive black Raspberry yet known. During the 
exceedingly dry and unfavorable season just passed it 
produced 6,000 quarts per acre, this being nearly three 
times the yield of Ohio for the same season and far 
ahead of all other varieties in the same section of 
country. 
In Size the fruit is simply enormous, running seven- 
eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, 
but yet it has unusual firmness and stands shipment 
well. The quality is unsurpassed. The season of 
ripening follows Palmer and precedes Gregg a short 
time. Of very strong and vigorous habit, throwing up 
stout, stocky canes, well adapted for supporting their 
immense loads of fruit. Remarkably free from that 
scourge of the Raspberry family, anthracnose. Price, 
strong tip plants for spring delivery, 75 cts. per doz., 
$2.50 per 100, $20 per 1,000.
