MIIiIiZB BZD BASFBZBBY. — The bush Is a stout, healthy, vigorous grower, 
not quite so tall as the Cuthbert, rather more stocky and dwarfish. It is well 
calculated to hold up Immense crops of fruit with which it loads itself. The 
introducer claims: Extreme hardiness; as productive as any. It is quite early, 
an excellent shipper, of good quality and attractive color. It should be tried 
by all who want the best shipper to distant markets. Dozen, 25 cents; hundred, 
75 cents: thousand, $5.00. 
IiOUSON. — New red raspberry from Wisconsin. Plants hardier and more 
productive than Cuthbert, canes thornless, begin to ripen a few day searlier than 
Cuthbert and continues longer, berries larger, firmer and brighter color, clings 
well to the stem and never crumbles; is one of the best shippers, enormously 
productive, of excellent quality. I have fruited it two seasons. It is surely the 
best medium to late raspberry. Dozen, 35 cents; hundred, $1.25; thousand, 
$10.00. All fine transplanted plants. 
CUTHBZBT, OB QUEZB OP THE MABKET A remarkably strong, hardy 
variety. Stands the northern winds and southern summers equal to any. Berry 
very large, conical, rich crimson, very handsome, and so firm that they can be 
shipped hundreds of miles by rail in good condition. Flavor is sweet, rich and 
luscious. The leading market variety for main crop. Dozen, 25 cents; hundred, 
75 cents: thousand, $5.50. 
THOMPSON’S EABI.Y PBOI.IFIC — This Is the best early red raspberry; 
thrifty grower; fair size; productive; firm. Same season as Hansel, much 
better grower and better yielder. This season it yielded nearly one hundred 
bushels per acre here; it is without doubt the best early berry. Dozen, 26 cents: 
hundred, 60 cents; thousand, $5.00. 
KINO. — (Bed Baspberry.) — This new variety originated in Ohio and is 
claimed to be one of the most beautiful red raspberries ever put on the market. 
Its season is the very earliest, ripening with or before Hansell, and much In ad- 
vance of Miller. Its fruit is as bright in color as either of the last two named — - 
there are none brighter or more beautiful — and of the very best quality, fully 
equaling the Cuthbert in this respect as well as in size, and is much firmer 
than this grand variety. In productiveness it is equal to any red raspberry, and
