Fancy Market “Berries

REID’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
MUNGER. This berry was 
the marvel of the hundreds 
of visitors who saw it dur- 
ing the meeting of the 
Miami County Horticultural 
Society. As a late “ fancy 
market” berry it certainly 
stands without a peer. 
The fruit of Munger is 
black and resembles Gregg 
very much. It is a better 
flavored berry than Gregg, 
tougher in texture, and 
therefore a better shipper. 
In size it excels Gregg by 
almost 25 per cent, being 
extra fine for canning and 
evaporating. Its season of 
ripening is from two to five 
days later than Gregg, and 
it has a special faculty of 
withstanding drought and 
hot sun. Last season, when 
most other berries were dry 
and seedy, Munger ripened 
up sweet and juicy, and 
readily brought an advance 
of 60 cents per bushel over 
other kinds. The canes, 
too, resemble Gregg, are 
free from disease, upright 
in growth, and have never 
yet been affected by the cold of winter. 75 cts. per 
doz., $2 per 100. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. Evidently a close relation of Cuth- 
bert. 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 
nay a good price for a particularly luscious and beautiful 
berry. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
KANSAS. There are few if any of the blackcap Rasp- 
berries 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 
command a ready sale ; in quality it is as good as the 
best. Plant is a strong, vigorous grower, with healthy, 
clean foliage. Can highly recommend it for general 
planting or a home garden. Kansas produces more 
canes and branches, covered with a thick blue bloom, 
and is much larger than Gregg ; makes a vigorous 
growth through the entire season, holds its foliage 
uninjured till frost, makes plenty of strong tips that 
are absolutely hardy to stand the changing climate, 
produces a fruiting spur from every bud, and a berry 
as much larger than Gregg as those of Gregg, are larger 
than Souhegan. It is of jet-black color, firm texture, 
and delicious quality. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per too, $7 
per 1,000; transplants, 75 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, 
$10 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, 
yielding 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. 
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 
Munger Raspberry. 
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 
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, $10 per 1,000. 
NEMAHA. Charles A. Green saj’s : “We have had 
Nemaha growing near Gregg and other varieties, and 
it has proved much earlier than Gregg, Souhegan and 
Tyler, bearing a full crop of fruit where Gregg was 
almost a total failure. We have claimed for Nemaha 
that it was hardier than Gregg, 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 100, $8 per 1,000. 
Palmer Raspberry. 
GENERAL LIST OF RASPBERRIES 
Most of the varieties generally offered are practically hardy in colder sections of the United States. Culture, 
plenty of moisture and late growth strengthen the vines for the battle of winter. Keep the foliage on late in fall 
if you would have hardy Raspberries.
