GLADSTONE RASPBERRY. 
GLADSTONE. Another variety from Ohio. The introducer speaks of it as follows : “ The Gladstone orig- 
inated with the veteran and well-known horticulturist, Charles Carpenter, of Ohio. He sent us plants to test 
about four years ago. They were given no particular culture, and almost forgotten, until fruiting time, when 
passing that way, we were attracted by a buzzing of bees. Looking toward the source of the music of the busy 
insects, we noticed the plants of Gladstone, the strong canes bowed down with their burden of ripe fruit, and 
yet blossoming freely, the blossoms being covered with honey-bees. This most remarkable of all raspberries 
we now offer for the first time.” 
The color is dark-red ; the size is above the average red raspberry, as seen in our markets. It is propagated 
from the root, like most of the other red varieties. $1.50 per doz., $8 per loo. 
GENERAL LIST 
Souhegan. This variety is noted for vigor and hardi- 
ness as an early berry. I have fruited it for years, 
and it has proved beyond a doubt an excellent berry. 
It ripens very early, and is gone when the Gregg 
comes. I can heartily recommend it to my custom- 
ers and the general public. It is larger in' size than 
the Doolittle, and not inclined to rust. 50 cts. per 
doz., $1 per 100; $6 per i.ooo. 
Ohio. This berry is one of the most profitable 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 
family, as it is not so seedy. I recommend it as 
one of the very best, it being very hardy, of vigorous 
growth, more so than Gregg, and ripening earlier. 
50 cts. per doz., $1 per ioo, $7 per 1,000. 
OF RASPBERRIES. 
Gregg. This variety, like the Wilson strawberry, is 
too well known to need description. Canes very 
large, hardy and productive ; the largest raspberry 
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, $6 per 1,000. 
Doolittle. This is an old variety, and some think it 
has seen its day, but I can make more clear profit 
from an acre of it than from any other. It seems 
that everybody has of late years been planting 
Gregg, the late variety, and paid no attention to 
earliness. In view of its great productiveness, we 
would advise a lhore general planting for market 
purposes. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.
