Columbian —The 4 Columbian is a new ca 
COLUMBIAN 
ididate for horticultural favor 
which the originator offers 
to the public, confident that 
it will head the list of first- 
class berries. We believe 
that all that is necessary to 
prove what we say is to give 
it a fair trial, and that when 
it is as well known abroad 
as it is at lmme it will adver- 
tise itself It is a seedling 
of the Cutlibert, grown near 
the Gregg black cap rasp- 
berry, aud believed to be a 
cross between the two. The 
following points show the 
superiority of the Columbian 
over all other plants now 
grown: Extremely vigorous 
and re-isting drought. Pro- 
pagation by tips and no suck- 
ers Fruit very large. Best 
berry for canning, retaining 
size, color and flavor. Long 
season of fruiting and high 
quality of late fruit. Fruit 
adheres to the stem, not 
dropping. Does not crumble 
in picking. Fine and excel- 
lent shipper. Wonderfully 
prolific, over i,coo quarts 
per acre.
