Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogue. 
Plant in good soil and manure it from time to time freely. The hills should be 
not less than four feet apart each way, with two of the plants on 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 strength from the tearing 
plants. They should be cut away or hoed up frequently. 
Raspberries may be made very profitable with good cultivation. 
CLASS I— RED AND YELLOW VARIETIES. 
Brandywine — (Susqueco) — Large; bright 
red; very firm. Valuable for market 
on account of its fine shipping quali- 
ties. 
Herbert — Very hardy, canes strong and 
vigorous; bright red; the largest of all 
red raspberries; sweet, juicy. Fine for 
table use. Enormously productive. 
Caroline — A seedling from Brin- 
kle’s Orange, combining the 
peculiar melting and luscious 
flavor of that variety with 
canes of great vigor, entire 
hardiness and extreme produc- 
tiveness. Color pale salmon; 
berries large and of fine qual- 
ity. 
Columbian — The greatest Rasp- 
berry of the age. It is a seed- 
ling of the Cuthbert, grown 
near the Gregg, and is believed 
to be a cross between the two. 
It is enormously productive; of 
largo size and excellent quality. 
Season of fruiting from .Inly 
12th to August 15th. It has 
stood 28 degrees below zero 
without injury; is propagated 
from the tips, and does not 
sucker. The color is dark red; adheres 
to the stem; does not crumble in pick- 
ing, and is a splendid shipper. It has 
yielded over eight thousand quarts per 
acre. 
Cuthbert— (The Queen of the Market) — 
Large, conical; deep red crimson; firm, 
of excellent quality. A vigorous grow 
er, entirely hardy and immensely pro 
ductive. “I regard it as the best, rasp- 
berry for general culture.” — Charles 
Downing. 
Columbian 
Japanese Wineberry — Strong grower and 
handsome; somewhat smaller than the 
red raspberries; sparkling and attrac- 
tive, flavor rich, rather acid; excellent 
for jelly. Deep amber. 
Louden — Ripens with the earliest and 
hangs to the last. In productiveness it 
is beyond any red raspberry known, 
and is a famous shipping berry. It is 
as hardy as the Turner and is of supe- 
rior quality. 
Golden Queen — This variety is a seedling 
of the Cuthbert, but the color of the 
fruit is a rich golden-yellow. The flavor 
is of the highest quality; in size equal 
to Cuthbert. Immensely productive; a 
very strong grower and hardy enough 
for entire northern latitudes, having 
stood uninjured even when the Cuth- 
bert suffered. 
Haymaker — The most vigorous grower of 
all raspberries. Very hardy. Fruit 
very large, conical; color bright red, 
and very attractive; flavor superb; 
delicious for table use and splendid for 
canning. It is a prodigious bearer, of 
long season; fruit of fine texture; does 
not drop from the bush. A superb 
shipper. 
Marlboro — The best early red raspberry 
for the North, ripening soon after the 
Hansell. Hardy and productive. 
Miller’s Red — Vigorous and sturdy in 
cane; very early. Fruit large and pro- 
fuse; beautiful and brilliant in color; 
sweet, luscious flavor. Nothing in the 
way of red raspberries since the advent 
of the Cuthbert can be compared with 
the Miller in point of value. 
Superlative — Large, conical, handsome ; 
dull red; six good berries weigh an 
ounce; flavor very fine, par excellence; 
a dessert kind. Canes stout, support- 
ing themselves; a very heavy cropper. 
Hardy.
