ALBANY NURSERIES, Incorporated 
KANSAS Originated at Lawrence, Kan., it is healthy, vigorous and not 
subject to leaf blight; produces strong, healthy tips; fruit large; as fine a 
berry as Gregg and equally as good a shipper; ripens just after the Souhegan; 
very prolific. 
MAMMOTH CLUSTER — Canes of strong growth and very prolific- ber- 
ries large and of fine quality. 
MUNGER— The fruit of Munger is black and resembles Gregg very much. 
It is a better flavored berry than Gregg, tougher in texture and therefore 
a better shipper. In size it excels Gregg by almost 25 per cent, being extra 
fine for canning and evaporating. The last season, when most others were 
dry and seedy Munger ripened up sweet and juicy and readily brought an ad- 
vance of 50 cents per bushel over other kinds. The canes, too, resemble 
Gregg, are free from disease, and upright in growth. 
OHIO— One of the best market varieties; grown by the thousands for evap- 
orating purposes and for use in fresh state; canes very vigorous, hardy and 
productive. 
SHAFFER’S COLOSSAL— Fruit large, purple, soft, with a sprightly sub- 
acid flavor; plant very vigorous, hardy and productive; most esteemed in 
some localities; season medium to late; valuable for canning. 
SOUHEGAN — A valuable market variety; its earliness and large size 
make it one of the most valuable of the black raspberries; firm and sweet. 
HYBRID BERRIES. 
BURBANK’S “PH E NOM ENAL”— Is the result of a cross between the 
“Improved California Dewberry and the Cuthbert Raspberry.” It takes the 
color and flavor of the latter, and size and shape more of the former. Mr. 
Burbank describes it as “larger than the largest berry ever before known ; 
blight crimson raspberry color; productive as could be desired and the most 
delicious of all berries for pies, canning, jelly or jam.” The berry grows in 
clusters of from 5 to 10, or more, and individual berries under favorable con- 
ditions have measured 3 inches one way by 314 to 4 the other. It’s a surprise 
and delight to people when first seen, being so large and luscious. It is the 
prophecy of others that the Burbank is the coming berry of the future. The 
demand for plants last year far exceeded the supply, and the demand now is 
greatly on the increase. This speaks for itself as to the quality and merits of 
the berry. It being easily grown and firm, it is a profitable berry for the fruit 
growers or small rancher to produce for shipping to home or distant mar- 
kets. Also its no mistake if one has a half dozen or dozen plants in the garden 
or back yard of a town or city residence, for by their productiveness they 
prove a delight for the table and yield great returns for the amount invested. 
LOGANBERRY— This a seedling from the Aughinbaugh blackberry, a 
wild variety, pistillate, of California crossed or fertilized by pollen of the 
Antwerp raspberry. The plants are described as unlike either the raspberry 
or blackberry, and are of low growing habits, more like the dewberry, of- very 
large, strong canes or vines, without thorns, but have very fine, soft spines 
like those found on raspberry plants. Leaves of a dark green color, coarse
