ARCTIC WINTERS DO NOT DESTROY THE CROP OR PLANTS. 
York, Penn. 
It stood the temperature 20° below last winter admirably. The terminal buds were not 
even injured, whilst the Ililborn, Kansas. Lovett, Shaffer s, Ohio, Cuthbert and Golden Queen 
were all more or less injured. It has shown no weakness of canes or foliage, and is wonderfully 
productive. I have never seen anything to surpass it in productiveness. In quality it is about 
the same as the Shaffer. Should' it do elsewhere as well it is certainly worthy of extensive 
trial in the east. S. B. HEIUEP, 
Pres, of the State Hort. Soe. of Penn, and Ex. U. S. Pomologist.

In vigor of growth, hardiness and great productiveness it is far ahead of the Gregg or 
Kansas. Dry weather does not seem to affect it, and it came through the terrible cold of last 
winter 35° below, sound and perfect to the tips, while the Greggs were killed outright. It 
will outyield the Kansas. The last berries are as large as the first, it does not break down 
by high winds in the spring. There is no tendency to disease on canes or leaves, f prefer the 
fruit for table to any other kind. Its richness of flavor is very choice. D. A. RUPP. 
St. Joseph, Mo. 
Regarding the Cardinal raspberry, will say that they are doing nicely. They were 
planted close to three or four other kinds, planted the year before, outstripping them in large 
growth. One plant made about twenty canes, averaging over a yard, some over that. 
They show no weakness, and not the slightest trace of disease on canes or leaves.

The specimens of canes and fruit of the Cardinal reached here July 1st. The leaves were 
quite fresh and free from all traces of disease, and showed a strong, vigorous growth. The 
well filled clusters of fruit in various stages of development indicate it is very productive 
with you. WM. A. TAYLOR, Assistant Pomologist. 
Atlantic, Iowa. 
The New Cardinal plants you sent me have made six branches, each several feet long. 
No disease appeared on canes or leaves. Entirely hardy so far. No rains to lay the dust since 
August 6th. R- I)- McGEEHON. 
Alton, III. 
The Cardinal raspberry is perfectly healthy, and made a better growth than any other 
variety on my place. E. A. RIEI1L. 
Carthage, III. 
The New Cardinal plant set last spring has made one cane ten feet long, with one branch 
nine feet the other seven feet. Very small thorns; perfectly hardy. J. G. JOHNSON. 
Ottawa, Kas. 
The two plants I got of you last spring have made a remarkable growth. They are free 
from disease, and the canes are smooth arid glossy. You may know that they did well; 
they made seventy-five tips. WM. PATTERSON. 
Three Rivers, Micil 
The New Cardinal raspberry grew finely and it is now green and healthy. It is certainly 
very vigorous and compares very favorably with any other variety, even the Columbian.

Mountain Grove. Mo. 
Extremely dry ; no rain from July 4th till Sept. 1 7th, yet the Cardinals did well. The 
plants were reset the second time, yet made a good growth. No disease or weakness about 
them. They have done wonderfully well, when nearly everything was a failure from the 
effects of drouth. A. Z. MOORE. 
The Orchards, III. 
The New Cardinals have made a fine growth; one made five the other six canes. No 
disease on canes or leaves. Severe drouth has prevailed all summer; ground is perfectly dry 
two feet. It is stronger than other standbys, and bids fair to give us a good crop of fruit 
next year. FRED GRUNDY, harm Editor. 
La Salle, N. Y. 
Plants grow very nicely — one made two canes the other three; but to look at them one 
would think there were a half dozen, so many branches; they are yet in full leaf, and no 
disease. T. GREINER, Hort. Editor. 
Philadelphia, Penn. 
I find the Cardinals in splendid order, having made three strong canes to a plant, with 
many laterals, six to ten feet long. The l< aves have not dropped, the few thorns are short. 
Very promising. VTLMER ATKINSON.
