ALBANY NURSERIES 
FOREIGN GRAPES, Continued. 
of great merit. It is perfectly seedless, and will 
doubtless become the most popular sort for seed- 
less raisins. It is very attractive, larger than 
the Seedless Sultana, more oblong, and in color 
greenish yellow; resembles the Muscat. It is of 
good quality, claimed to be superior to the Seed- 
less Sultana. It dries rapidly and evenly, and, 
being a sweet, heavily. A strong grower and 
unusually productive. 
Tokay. See Flame Tokay. 
White Sweetwater, (Chasselas de Fontainbleau. ) 
W. Bunches large and compact, berries medium 
size, round, skin thin, transparent, greenish yel- 
low, pulp tender, juicy, sweet and richly flavored. 
One of the best early grapes. 
Zinfandel. B. Bunches large, compact, ber- 
ries round, dark purple. The most extensively 
planted Grape in California for making claret. 
RASPBERRIES Rubus) 
Coming immediately after Strawberries, when there is a dearth of other fresh fruit, Raspber- 
ries 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 well, and aside from its immediate consumption, it brings highly remunerative 
prices for drying and canning. 
Plant in good soil and manure it from time to time freely. The hills should be not less than 4 
feet apart each way, with two or three plants in a hill. Cut out the old and weak shoots each year, 
preserving not over six for fruiting. If the location is much exposed and the plants inclined to kill 
down seriously, they may be bent over in the fall on mounds of earth formed at one side of the hills 
and covered sufficiently to keep them down until spring. Surplus suckers take their strength from 
the bearing plants. They should be cut away or hoed up often. Raspberries may be made very profit- 
able with good cultivation. 
RED AND YELLOW 
Brandywine. (Susqueco.) Large, bright red, 
very fine. Valuable for market on account of its 
fine shipping qnalities. 
Cuthbert. (The 
Queen of the Market. 1 
Large, conical, deep, 
rich crimson, excel- 
lent quality. A vig- 
orous grower, entirely 
hardy and immensely 
productive. “I regard 
it as the best Rasp- 
berry for general cul- 
ture. ” — Charles 
Downing. 
“Now regarded by 
careful and experi- 
enced horticulturists 
as the best Raspberry 
in existence for gen- 
eral cultivation. I 
have it in a specimen 
bed with 25 other 
kinds, and it surpasses 
all others.” — E. P. 
Roe. 
Golden Queen This 
variety is a seedling 
of the Cuthbert, but 
the color of the fruit Raspberry plants pruned for 
is a rich golden yel- planting, 
low. The flavor is of ■ 
the highest quality, pronounced by some superior 
to the old Brinkle’s Orange, the finest flavored of 
all the Raspberries. Equal to the Cuthbert in size, 
immensely productive. A very strong grower 
and hardy enough even for extreme northern lati- 
tudes, having stood uninjured even when the 
Cuthbert suffered. The desire for a yellow Rasp- 
berry of high quality, combined with vigorous 
f rowth and perfect hardiness, is believed to be 
ully met in this variety. 
Herbert. A large early red Raspberry, origin- 
ated at Ottawa. In hardiness it easily takes first 
place, standing a lower temperature than any 
other kind. The cane is very strong and vigor- 
ous, slightly prickly. Fruit bright red, some- 
what oblong, larger than Cuthbert or Loudon. 
Flavor very sweet and juicy, one of the very best 
for table use. Enormously productive. Season 
5 to 6 days before Cuthbert. Holds its size well 
to end. 
Japanese. (Wineberry.) Ornamental both in 
fruit and plant. Canes covered with purplish red 
hairs; leaves dark green, silvery gray beneath. 
Fruit in large clusters, and each berry at first 
tightly enveloped by the large calyx, forming a 
sort of bur, which is covered with purplish red 
hairs. These gradually open and turn back, ex- 
posing beautiful wine-colored fruit of medium 
size; brisk subacid, retaining flavor when cooked. 
Highly esteemed for canning, preserves, jellies, 
etc. 
Loudon. The best red midsummer berry. Its 
points of superiority are vigor of growth, large 
fruit, beautiful rich dark crimson color, good 
quality and marvelous productiveness and hardi- 
ness, enduring winters without protection and 
without injury to the very tips. It stands ship- 
ping the best of any variety, and will remain on 
bushes the longest without injury. 
Marlboro. The largest early red raspberry, 
ripening only a few days after Hansell. Beauti- 
ful bright scarlet; of good but not high quality. 
Hardy and productive. 
Miller’s. Bright red color, which it holds after 
picking. Stout, healthy, vigorous grower, canes 
not so tall as Cuthbert, but well adapted to car- 
rying their immense load of berries. Berries 
large and hold their size to the end of the season;
