T AGAIN OFFER FOR SALE A LIMITED 
number of Plants of this excellent, thrifty, hardy Rasp¬ 
berry. They having been for the first time advertised last 
Fall, the supply then on hand for sale was mostly taken, and 
but a few are now left. Next Autumn, they will again be for 
sale. 
Lewis F. Allen, Esq , of Black Rock, N. Y., has for many 
years cultivated this fruit in the garden grounds (which I now 
occupy), on his Grand Island farm. It is allied to the Red 
Antwerp variety, but is not the "true” Red Antwerp of the 
gardens and nurseries. The bush grows much larger, needs no 
sort of covering or protection in Winter, and bears abundant 
annual crops of delicious fruit of the first quality. 
Packages of ten to fifty Plants will be delivered at the Ex¬ 
press Office in Buffalo previous to the first of May, at 10 cents 
the Plant. For packages of five dozen or more plants, $1 per 
dozen. Remittances to come with i he orders.
