The “Business Black cap” 
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 Black-cap.” 
In hardiness the Cumberland is all that could be desired, having undergone without injury several winters 
during which the temperature went as low as 20 degrees 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, anthraenose. Price, strong tip plants 
for spring delivery, $1 per doz., $3 per 100. 
MILLER RED. 
This red Raspberry originated in Sussex county, Delaware, and 
is very popular with a few fruit-growers in that section, who have pre- 
ferred 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, 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. To sum Miller Raspberry, 
up, it possesses the following points of superiority as compared with other 
varieties: 1st. Ripens with the very earliest. 2d. Productiveness equal to any. 3d. Has no equal as 
a shipper. 4th. Perfectly hardy. 5th. Quality and size unsurpassed. 6th. Attractive color. Price, 40 
cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. In 3,000 lots, $4.50 per 1,000. 
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 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 canes of the Co- 
lumbian 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. pr doz., $1.50 per 100, $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 firmness is very desirable in a berry of this class, 
and it can be shipped long distances in good condition. In shape it 
is entirely different from any other Raspberry. Price, 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz., $7 per 100.
