FRUIT DEPARTMENT— RASPBERRIES 
27 
RASPBERRIES, Continued. 
berry, ripening only a few days after 
Hansell. Beautiful bright scarlet; of good 
but not of high quality. Hardy and pro- 
ductive. 
Miller’s. Bright red color, which it holds 
after picking. Stout, healthy, vigorous 
growth, canes not so tall as Cuthbert, but 
well adapted to carrying their immense 
load of berries. Berries large and hold 
their size to the end of the season; round, 
bright red; cores small, do not crumble; 
firmest and best shipper; rich fruity flavor. 
Commences to ripen with the earliest. 
Queen of the Market. See Cuthbert. 
Turner. (Southern.) Very desirable as 
an early sort for the home garden. Ber- 
ries good size; bright crimson; sweet. 
PURPLE CAPS. 
Cardinal. This wonderful berry is a sur- 
prise in the fullness of its merits--its great 
growth, its extreme hardiness and the ex- 
ceeding productiveness of its choice red, 
rich, pure flavor d berries. It is not a 
novelty, but a variety of great value. 
Columbian. An improvement on Snaf- 
fer’s which it resembles, but the berry is 
finer; dark red, adheres to the bush much 
longer, and retains its shape better, both 
on the market and for canning. Bush a 
stronger grower, attaining a very large 
size. One of the hardiest and wonderfully 
prolific. Unexcelled for productiveness, 
and stands at the head for canning, mak- 
ing jam, jelly, etc. 
Haymakers. A purple cap, not so dark 
as the Columbian or Shaffer, and much 
larger and firmer than either of those var- 
ieties, never crumbles and stands up well 
in shipping. Sample crates have been 
shipped to distant points with entire sat- 
isfaction. It is a berry to grow for either 
home use or market. 
BLACK CAPS. 
Cumberland. In size the berries run 
from l to 15-16 of an inch in diameter, and 
are of such handsome appearance that the 
fruit has often sold for ten cents per quart 
when other varieties were selling for from 
five to seven cents per quart. The quality 
is very similar and fully equal to Gregg. 
In spite of its usually large size, the fruit 
is posessed of great firmness and is thus 
well adapted for standing long shipmeuts. 
The bush is healthy and vigorous, throw- 
ing up stout, stocky canes, well adapted 
for supporting their loads of large fruit. 
Midseason. 
Gregg. Of good size, fine quality; very 
productive and hardy. It takes the same 
position among blackcaps as Cuthberts 
does the red sort. No one can afford to be 
without it. 
Kansas. Strong, vigorous grower, stand- 
ing extremes of drought and cold, and 
bearing immense crops. Early, ripen- 
ing just after the Palmer. Berries size 
of Gregg; of better color; jet black, 
almost free from bloom; firm, of best 
quality; presents a handsome appearance 
and brings highest price in market. 
Mammoth Cluster. Large in size; next 
to Gregg. Cane of strong growth and 
prolific. Berries large and of fine quality. 
Munger. The fruit of Munger is black, 
and resembles Gregg very much. It is a 
better flavored berry than the Gregg, 
tougher in texture, and therefore a better 
shipper. In size it excels the Gregg by 
almost 25 per cent, being extra fine for 
canning and evaporating. In seasons when 
most others are dry and seedy, Munger 
ripens up sweet and juicy, and readily 
brings an advance of 50 cents per bushel 
over other kinds. The canes, too, resem- 
bles Gregg, are free from disease; upright 
in growth and extremely hardy. 
Ohio. A strong-growing, hardy sort; 
fruit nearly as large as the Mammoth 
Cluster; more productive than any other 
variety. Valuable for market.
