BLACK RASPBERRIES. 
Cumberland. Last season we fruited this grand new black- 
cap quite largely. We find it all the introducers claim for it. The 
fruit sold readily last season at an average of 3 cents per quart 
above Kansas, Gregg, and similar varieties. The berries are very 
large, jet black, of finest texture and quality ; quite distinct from 
any other variety now in general cultivation. As soon as this 
variety is generally known, it will be largely planted. We have 
sold 10,000 plants for spring delivery to one party, who has thor- 
oughly investigated its good qualities. In season it is about with 
Kansas, but blacker, finer seeded, and superior in flavor. 75 cts. 
per doz., #3 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
Conrath. A popular, productive and hardy variety from 
Michigan. Similar to Kansas in size and color, and a few days 
earlier. 50 cts. per doz., f 1 per 100, $7 per 1,000. 
Cromwell. The earliest blackcap. Ripens its crop in a short 
time. Not as productive as Palmer. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$8 per 1,000. 
Eureka. Similar to Conrath and Kansas in size and color, but 
very distinct in flavor. 50c. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $ 10 per 1,000. 
Gregg. Too well known to need description. Not perfectly 
hardy, but popular in market, and often quite profitable. 50 cts. 
per doz., $1.50 per 100, #7 per 1,000. 
Hilborn. Mid-season, jet black, productive and profitable. 
50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.
