claim to be well-founded. While the Gregg has therefore been our largest and mostprofit- 
able black cap it has failed in hardiness; and we have seen for a long time that any va- 
riety that would equal it in size and productiveness, and prove hardier, would be a great 
boon. 50 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
CROMWELL. Named for the town in Connecticut where it was originated ; equal 
to Tyler and Souhegan in size and quality of fruit; also hardiness of cane; vigorous and 
productive as the above named, and five to ten days earlier. 
The originator of the Cromwell is an extensive fruit-grower, and he prefers it to the 
varieties named. We are the only firm in the State of Ohio who have the right to sellthis 
stock, hence all plants from us are from the original stock. 
We have read quite a good deal of this raspberry, and wish we could give more of it 
to our readers, but as our space is limited and as we have so many points to cover of dif- 
ferent fruits, we must omit some important ones; but we recommend this to you as a 
superb extra-early raspberry. 50 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $1S per 1,000. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. Is evidently a close relation to the Cuthbert; it has stood the 
winter very well and fruited for six weeks. The canes made a line growth, much better 
than any other c n the farm. In size it exceeds the Cuthbert, and is wonderfully produc- 
tive it being the first raspberry of its kind we could ever do anything with in our mar- 
ket - but it exceeds the blacks. Its beautiful translucent color attracts the eye of those 
who want the best in the market and will pay a good price. I can highly recommend it 
to the public. 50 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 
THOMPSON'S EARLY PROLIFIC RED RASPBERRY. This is a seedling 
found among a number 0 f 
others from selected seed 
gathered from the earliestred 
berries on our grounds. Its 
early ripening, fine, large, 
bright berries and productive- 
ness attracted the attention of 
M. T. Thompson, the origina- 
tor. It ripened very early, 
being the earliest red raspber- 
ry in the neighborhood, even 
ripening before the black- 
caps. This year, the season 
being late, the first were pick- 
ed the 19th of June and 
as we have no early ground, 
we know that anything that 
will ripen early on our own 
grounds will be sure to ripen 
early almostany where. Every 
f ruit-grower knows the neces- 
sity of having a red raspberry 
that will come on, with good 
picking, just as the strawberry 
season is over. There is more 
money in an early red rasp- 
berry with us than any small 
fruitwegrow. Whilethelate 
varieties are sold at half the 
price, or even less than that, 
we say to one and all, don’t 
miss planting a dozen at least 
of these berries. We don’t 
want any one to plant more 
until as well satisfied as we 
ai'e-; and then you will plant 
all vou can. 50 cts. per doz., 
$3 per 100, $25per 1,000. 
CARMAN. One of the 
very best, and very produc- 
tive. For family use we think 
there is none better ; but for 
market it comes at the wrong 
period of the season in this lo- 
cality, between Souhegan and 
Gregg. Good size, produc- 
tive, jet-black, and stands the 
winter well. Where the Gregg 
will not stand the winter we 
can highly recommend it. $1
