I again offer to the public this valuable, hardy, red Rasp¬ 
berry, of the Antwerp family, but not the true Red Antwerp 
of the nurseries and market gardeners, as the Allen is perfectly 
hardy without Winter protection in any climate where it has 
been tried, up to 45 deg. North. Mr. Allen has cultivated it in 
his farm gardens, of which I now have the charge, for ten years 
past, and it was only offered for sale last year, after fully test¬ 
ing its hardihood, prolific bearing, and large, higli-ilavored fruit. 
Its strong growth of cane requires*no support, and it is every 
way a most valuable variety, not known elsewhere than in its 
present grounds, and places to which it has been transplanted. 
Price 10 cents each, in quantities less.than sixty. For five to 
eight dozen, $1 per dozen. For one hundred or more, $7 per 
hundred ; payment remitted with the order. 
The plants will be forwarded by express, railroad or steam¬ 
boat, as soon after the October frosts as they can be taken up 
and packed. 
A full description of the plant and fruit, and directions for 
cultivation, will be sent with each package.
