RASPBERRIES 
Coming immediately after Strawberries, where there is a dearth of other 
fresh fruits, raspberries are equally desirable for planting in the garden for 
home use and in the field for market. They are easily cultivated. Beds 
seldom require renewing. Their season of ripening is long. The fruit bears 
transportation, and, aside from the demand for its immediate consumption, it 
brings highly remunerative prices for drying and canning. 
RED AND YELLOW VARIETIES. 
BRANDYWINE (Susqueoo) — Large, bright red; very firm. Valuable for 
market on account of its fine shipping qualities. 
CARDINAL, (New) — This wonderful berry is a surprise in the fullness of 
its merits — its great growth, its extreme hardiness and the exceeding product- 
iveness of its choice red, rich, pure-flavored berries. It will pay. It is not a 
novelty, but a variety of great merit. The new Cardinal is claimed to grow 
10 feet high and bears in proportion. Leading horticulturists who have seen 
this berry say that it is one of the wonders of the century, so far exceeding 
all others as to put it entirely beyond comparison. Judge Wellhouse, presi- 
dent of the Kansas State Horticultural Society, said at a meeting of the 
Society, that the introduction of the Cardinal Raspberry would add millions 
to the wealth of the farmers of the country because of its inherent great vigor 
and exceeding productiveness. This most promising raspberry is another 
natural product of Kansas. It is not a hyorid, but results where nature 
combined its best in one little seed that produced the first Cardinal raspberry 
plant. It also germinated that seed in its own way not under the pet care of 
an expert gardener who could control the temperature, moisture, sunshine and 
weeds, but came up in a neglected clump of Gregg raspberry bushes, and there 
showed its makeup by growing far above them and producing its great crop 
of red berries in contrast to the few Greggs beneath them. When first seen 
by the owner, the Greggs were dug and the Cardinals had the room. 
COLUMBIAN — Fruit resembles Shaffers; very large; purplish color; rath- 
er soft; rich, sprightly flavor; unrivalled for canning, or making jam, jell, 
etc.; bush wonderful for vigor of growth and productiveness, attaining a very 
large size and producing immense crops. 
CUTHBERT, or QUEEN OF THE MARKET— A remarkably strong, hardy 
variety; stands the northern winters and southern summers equal to any. 
Berries very large, measuring three inches around, conical, rich, crimson, 
’'ery handsome and so firm they can be shipped hundreds of miles by rail 
in good condition; flavor is sweet, rich and luscious. The leading market 
variety for main crop. 
GOLDEN QUEEN— A beautiful, large golden yellow berry, seedling of the 
Cuthbert and surpassing that variety in size, beauty, quality and adaptability. 
Canes hardy, a strong grower, productive; should be in every home garden, 
its beauty and high quality placing it at the head for table use.
