GOLDEN QUEEN. 
GOLDEN QUEEN.— We have fruited this 
variety this season for the first time, and 
must say we were much surprised at it. 
It is evidently a close relation to the Cuth- 
hert; 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 the 
Cuthhert and is wonderfully productive, 
it being the first raspberry of its kind we 
could ever do anything with in our mar- 
ket; but it exceeds the blacks. Its beau- 
tiful translucent color attracts the eye of 
those who want the finest in the market 
and will pay a good price. I can highly 
recommend it to the public. 75 cts. per 
doz., $2.50 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 
CARMAN. — One of the very best, and very 
productive. For family use we think there 
is no better; but for market it comes at 
the wrong period of the season in this lo- 
cality, between Souhegan and Gregg. Good 
size, productive, jet black, and stands the 
winter well. Where the Gregg will not 
stand the winter we can highly recom- 
mend it. $1 per dozen, $4 per 100, $30 per 
1 , 000 . 
EARHABT. — An everbearer, introduced 
by Hale Bros., of Connecticut. A good 
grower, and produces fruit from June un- 
til October; and when a market can be 
Souhegan. — This variety is noted for vigor 
and hardiness as an early berry. I have 
fruited it for years and it has proved be- 
yond a doubt an excellent berry. It ripens 
very early and is gone when the Gregg 
comes. I can heartily recommend it to 
my customers and the general public. It 
is larger in size than the Doolittle, and not 
inclined to rust. 50 cents per dozen, $1 
per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
had at a high figure, will pay. It is also 
valuable for the home garden, as it gives 
fruit throughout the fall. $3 per dozen, 
$8 per 100, $30 per 1,000. 
HI L BORN. — Of superior quality; very 
hardy, coming from Canada. Fruit not 
as large as Gregg , but will stand cold 
weather much better. It is highly recom- 
mended by state horticultural societies, 
and is becoming very popular with com- 
mercial growers. It will stand drouth 
better than any other variety. 50 cts. per 
dozen, $2 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 
JOHNSON'S SWEET.— From New York, 
and highly recommended by parties in 
that locality. We have not seen enough 
to tell much about it, but what fruit we 
have had was fine. Good grower. Wo 
have a large stock of plants, and on large 
lots can give special rates. 75 cts. per 
dozen, $2 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 
ADA.— Somewhat after the nature of 
Gregg, but much more hardy and contains 
less seeds than any other variety. Grow- 
ers who have grown it for past years say 
its size is equal, and in every way super- 
ior. Our experimental station, in its test 
of qualities, recommends it quite highly, 
and says commercial fruit growers should 
give it a trial — like all other new fruits. 
You should have a few vinos on yourfarm, 
and then you can see just what it will do. 
But we can cheerfully recommend this 
variety. Seasons with the Gregg, but 
fruits for a longer period. $1 per dozen, 
$3 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
NEMAHA. — Chas. A. Green says; “We 
have had the Nemaha growing near the 
Gi-egg and other leading varieties, and it 
has proven much hardier than Gregg, Sou- 
hegan and Tgler, bearing a full crop of fruit 
where the Gregg was almost a total failure. 
We have claimed for Nemaha that it was 
hardier than Gregg, and three years’ trial 
proves our claim to be well founded. 
While the Gregg has therefore been our 
largestaud mostprofitable blackcap, it has 
failed in hardiness; and we have seen for 
a long time that any variety that would 
equal it in size and productiveness, and 
prove hardier, would be a great boon. The 
Nemaha fills the bill exactly, and goes far- 
ther, for it is of better quality. Visitors 
who have seen the Nemaha on our grounds 
have said that it was the largest of all. 
Indeed, I have picked larger specimens 
from it than from any other.” Price for 
these plants, which few have to offer; 50 
cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 
l List. 
Ohio. — This berry is one of the most profit- 
able for evaporating on the list at the 
present day. The fruit is of medium size, 
but very sweet ; one of the best for table 
use. I think it ahead of the Gregg for the 
family, as it is not so seedy. I recom- 
mend it as one of the very best, it being 
very hardy, of vigorous growth, more so 
than Gregg , and ripening earlier. 50 cents 
per dozen, $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.
