HILBORN. While Palraer is a few days, possibly a week, earlier, Hil- 
born is so much larger and more atti’active that if we were to plant but one 
blackcap it would be Ililborn. The canes are the largest and most vigorous of 
any and not affected with disease in any form. The berries are the largest and 
most attractive of any, being even huger than Gregg. It ripens its crop in a 
short time early in the season and brings the best prices. No other variety of 
blackcap tested by us is more hardy or productive. Doz.25c; 100. 80o; 1,000,$6. 
EUREKA. Ripens a few days later than Souhegan and earlier than Ohio. 
Fruit large and firm, almost equaling Gregg in size, quality of the best. Berry 
free from bloom and very attractive, making it a splendid seller. The canes 
make a strong, upright growth with a bright, healthy color resembling Ohio 
and quite as hardy. Doz. 35c; 100, $1.50. 
NEMAHA. The Nemaha has excelled all other late varieties, of better 
quality and as large; hardier than the Gregg. Uoz. 30c; 100, $1.25. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
Plant same distance apart as raspberries. Strong sucker plants with cross 
roots. Fine. 
SANFORD. The Sanford is strictly a wild berry improved by cultiva- 
tion. The plant is exceedingly vigorous, perfectly hardy 
and very productive. The fruit is from medium to large 
and when ripe is a deep black in color. (Quality good, pos- 
sessing to a high degree the wild flavor of tVie benaes of the 
woods. The Sanford does the best on rich, moist loam re- 
stricted to hills. Last season Sanfoi'd berries sold 2 cents 
higher in Binghamton market than any other varieties. 
Doz. 30c; 100. .$1.00.

blackberries yet introduced. It is as hai'dy and productive 
as the Snyder. The fruit is of good size, perfectly free from 
cone and has a delicious flavor. Plants very early, hardy

ness; wonderfully produotive. size medium, fruit juicy and sweet without the hard core of many

, TAYLOR’S PROLIFIC. Nearly as hardy as Snyder. Berries larger and of fine 
quality, aweet and luicy. Canes of strong growth, greenish yellow, of especial value for planting

Strawberry plants received in good order and all set out. Tlicy were very fine, much better 
tlian some potted plants I received from Cornwall. No one can send out better stock at any price. 
G. F. Williams, Fitchburg, Mass. 
I saw the raspberries referrred to (Oumberland) growing on the grounds of Mr. Miller.and was 
very much pleased with them Tlie cunes were remarkably strong and healthy and bore a uni- 
formly large crop of tlie largest black raspberries I liave ever seen. Manvof tliom were as large 
as Lawton bluokberries and when fully ripe they are sweet and well iiiivored. I consider it an 
acquisition to our list of small fruits.”
