GENERAL LIST. 
Souhegan. This variety is noted forivgor 
and hardiness as an early berry. I have 
fruited it for years and it has proved be- 
yond a doubt an excellent berry, ltrip- 
ens very early and is gone when the 
Gregg comes. I can heartily recommend 
it to my customers and the general pub- 
lic. It is larger in size than the Doolittle, 
and not inclined to rust. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
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. 1 recom- 
mend it as one of the very best, it being 
very hardy, of vigorous growth, more so 
than Gregg, and ripeniug earlier. 50 cts. 
per doz., *1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
Gregg. This variety, like the 
Wilson strawberry, is too well 
known to need description. 
Canes very large, hardy, and 
productive; the largest rasp- 
berry that is grown. I have 
known four thousand quarts to 
be picked from one acre. It 
sells more readily than other 
varieties that come at the same 
time, and its size will sell it 
everywhere. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100, *7 per 1,000. * 
Doolittle. This is an old variety, 
and some think it has seen its 
day. but I can make more clear 
profitfromanacreof itthan from 
any other. It seems that 
everybody has of late years 
been planting Gregg, the late 
variety, and paid no attention 
to eariiness. 50 cts. per doz., SI 
per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
RED VARIETIES. 
Marlboro. The largest of the 
early red raspberries, ripening 
a few days later lhan Hansell. 
One of tii e best red raspberries 
for the north. The canes are 
hardy and fairly productive. 
Fruit large, luscious, bright 
crimson, and of good quality. 
It may' be considered the finest 
and bestearly hardy raspberry. 
50 cts. per doz., *1 per 100, *8 
per 1,000. 
Shaffer’s Colossal. A red o r 
purple variety, which is very 
valuable for canning or home 
use, but useless for market purposes. It., 
has neither quality nor color to sell it, and 
on the market it is a drug. While it is so • 
very productive, in many localities it 
would be of value; but not here, as 
sells for less than the black. 30 cts. per 
doz., $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
Cutlibert. There is no finer berry grown, 
than the Cuthbert. I have grown them 
one inch in diameter; they would look 
like strawberries on the vine. The bushes, 
were red all over. There is no red rasp- 
berry that will pay me as well as this, to. 
my knowledge. The canes are large and 
straight, holding up the fruit from the 
ground. If I were to begin berry-growing 
again, I would have the Cuthbert for my 
first red variety. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 
100, $7 per 1,000.
