Loudon 
This new candidate for popular favor was originated in Wiscon- 
sin by F. W. Loudon, and hence it bears his name. He is well 
known in his state as one of its most prominent fruit-growers. He 
claims this as the best red Raspberry in existence, it being superior in 
every respect to the old stand-by, Cuthbert, being larger, standing 
up and keeping fresh longer than any other berry. A seedling of 
Turner crossed with Cuthbert. The fruit is of a beautiful 
bright color, a good shipper, and will yield 200 bushels per 
acre. Very hardy ; the canes have not been known to suffer 
in the severest winters ; has few thorns ; berries cling to the 
stem, and do not crumble when picked. Season late. The 
only further comment we have to make is that canes are vig- 
orous and virtually thornless, the foliage luxuriant and 
healthy. As judged by this season, the 
Loudon is a hardier variety than Cuthbert. 
It is more prolific. The berries average 
larger and they are decidedly firmer. 
They hold to the peduncle better. The 
color is a trifle brighter, and the quality 
fully as good. Price, 50 cts. per do/.., 
$1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
Miller Red 
This red Raspberry originated in Sus- 
sex county, Delaware, and is very popu- 
lar with a few fruit-growers in that 
section, who have preferred to market 
the fruit rather than sell the plants. Berry 
is as large as Cuthbert, holding its size to 
the end of the season ; it is round, bright 
red, docs not fade, but will hold its color after shipment 
longer than any other red variety ; core very small ; does 
not crumble, making it the firmest and best shipping berry 
in existence ; has not the flat taste of some varieties, but a 
rich, fruity flavor entirely its own. To sum up, it pos- 
sesses the 
OUDON

Columbian 
This fine Raspberry is believed to be a cross between Cuthbert 
and Gregg, and is claimed to be superior and larger than Shaffer’s 
Colossal, which it resembles in type and color. From the com- 
ments of the press and many growers, we believe this berry has 
some decided merits, and can recommend it as worthy of a trial. 
For canning purposes, it is undoubtedly the 
very best Raspberry in cultivation. Unlike 
the Shaffer, it does not go to pieces in the 
process, and it does not shrink. The canes 
of the Columbian are more woody, its thorns 
are a bright, light green in color, while those 
of the Shaffer have more or less of a purple 
tinge. Price, 50 cts. per doz., $1.50 per too, 
$10 per 1,000. 
Superlative 
(New Red) 
We have tested many European varieties, 
but never found one to equal this in size, 
productiveness or quality. It is one of the 
handsomest berries we know, and will stand 
the severest winter without injury. Its firm- 
ness is very desirable in a berry of this class, 
and it can be shipped long distances in 
f ood condition. In shape it is entirely 
ifferent from any other Raspberry. Price, 
10 cts. each, #1 per doz., $7 per 100.
