widely Unowu fruit man and seed grow- 
er was in the city the early part of the 
week exhibiting some ripe raspberries 
and raspberry sprouts that are marvel 
ous. Mr. Beyer is elated over thetlevelop- 
ment of a new raspberry plant which is 
a perpetual yielder, in a favorable cli- 
mate. In this climate it will yield, ho 
states, until frost comes, beginning early 
in the season. The bushes are yielding 
now, profusely. The blossom, the green 
berry and the ripe berry are seen on the 
plant at the same time and the fr„it is 
rich in flavor, and profuse in \ield. lie 
claims for ttiis new plant that it will 
yield at least double the (luantity 
that is yielded by the ordinary plant. 
He has been worUina, and experimont- 
ing with the new plant for 15 years 
and now that he has attained to the ob- 
ject of his experiments he is highly elai 
ed anil hopes to see the plant tiecomo 
widely popular, as he believes it 
will. The samples of his fruit which 
he left at the .lournal ofliee plainly 
showed I hat .Mr. B. yer has what might 
be regarded as a curi..siiy. but which al- 
so, if the expectMtions of Mr. H-jer is 
fullilled, is a wonder and will be a great 
blessing to the lovers of fiesh fruit.

A New Raspberry. 
Hugo Beyer, the well knowr. seed and 
froit grower of New Ijondon, exhildted 
at this office Tuesday, a new rasp 
berry that he has pro|iagaled and 
brought about as near perfection as fruit 
can tie grown. He calls it the “Giant 
Perpetual or Summer and Fall Fruiting 
Raspberry.” It was creat d by Mr 
Beyer, and represents 15 yeais of piopa- 
gation and hard study on the part of 
Mr. Beyer. It fruits after the other 
raspberries are gone, and continues to 
bear until frost time. It fruits on the 
green wood and from the side branch 
Five hundred pl.ints were propagated 
by Mr. Bejer last se.ison, and these are 
now six feet tall and some of the canes 
areaninchin diameter, showing what 
a remarkable growth can bo made in 
ten or eleven weeks The fruit is large 
and sweet. The stage to which he has 
brougtit this berry makes it p'lssibl- for 
them to be grown in any climate.
