DELICIOUS NEW RASPBERRIES 
KING RED RASPBERRY. 
This new variety originated in Ohio, and is one of the most beautiful Red Raspberries ever put on the 
market. Its bri.liancy of color when placed on the market last Reason ^created ^pUedTthe 
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 red variety 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 advan- 
tage of being firm, 
and will ship to 
market in first-class 
condition. Season 
about a week later 
than Cuthbert. Price, 
. 30 cts. each, $3 per 
doz., $20 per 100. 
Ohio Experimental Station, 
Wooster, Ohio, July 24, 189G .—" The 
King Raspberry is tine indeed. Large, firm, beautiful 
color and prolific. It is far ahead of Loudon or Miller 
here.”— Prof. W. J- Green. 
MILLER RED. 
King Red Raspberry. 
The largest, brightest, most produc- 
tive. best selling red Raspberry 
ever introduced. 
This new Red Raspberry originated in Sussex 
county, Delaware, and is very popular with a few 
fruit-growers in that section, who have preferred lo 
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, does 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. 
The time of ripening is with the very earliest, the first picking being with 
Thompson’s Early, June 11, the Miller producing double the quantity of berries 
at each picking that Thompson did, in the same field under the same condi- 
tions, continuing until August 3 — Thompson having been gone three weeks; 
fully as prolific as Cuthbert. It does not seem particular as to soil, having been 
fruited on light sandy, gravelly and heavy clay soils with equal success. To 
sum up, it possesses the following points of superiority as compared with other 
varieties: 1st. Ripens with the very earliest. 2nd. Productiveness equal 
to any. 3d. Has no equal as a shipper. 4th. Perfectly hardy. 5th. Qual- 
ity and size unsurpassed, Gth. Attractive color. Brice, 40 cts. per doz., 
75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. In 3,000-lots, $4.50 per 1,000. 
COLUMBIAN. 
This is a new berry, believed to be a cross between Cuthbert and Gregg, and is claimed to be superior and 
larger than Shaffer’s Colossal, of which it is about the same type and color. From the comments 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 Rural New-Yorker says: "The berry is of the same type as the Shaffer; that is, it propagates from the 
tips, does not sucker, and is similar in color. In shape it is longer than the Shaffer, more solid, and adheres 
much more firmly to the stem. In quality it is an improvement on the Shaffer, being sweeter when ripe, and 
of higher flavor. These comparisons are made with the Shaffer because we can thus best illustrate, and because 
of the fact that the Shaffer is to-day probably the most productive Raspberry under cultivation. In general ap- 
pearance both are much alike in foliage and cane. On close examination marked differences are seen. 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., $1.75 per 100, $12 per 1,000.
