AMERICAN AGRIC GET GRIST. 
[March, 
The Earliest of all Raspberry, 
Of as bright red color as the Brandywine, -which it equals 
in firmness and is larger. Unsurpassed in quality. Canes 
vigorous, very productive, and as hardy as the Turner; 
besides ripening in advance of all others, whether black, 
red, purple or yellow. 
Resolved: “That it is the sense of this meeting that 
this is the EARLIEST Raspberry so far known. Further, 
it is of a bright red color, of fine shap >, and of great firm¬ 
ness.” Unanimously adopted.— Report of the meeting on 
groun is of originator. 
Judge Wm. Parry said: “It stands single and alone, and 
abote all competition. At the present time I think there 
is no other Raspberry that can compete with it in all the 
qualities that are desirable for a Raspberry lor the mar¬ 
ket;” which sentiments were indorsed by J. G. Burrow, 
J.S Collins, W. F.B'.ssett. Sam’l C. DeCou, J.B.Ward, 
Ezra Stokes, Jesse B. Rogers, Wm. H. Moon, James Lip- 
pincott, and other horticulturists present, 'jen acres 
tlie past season under tJie most adverse 
circumstances returned, after deducting- 
all expenses, $1,714.06 lor tlie fruit alone. 
The Shipper who sold the fruit says: ‘ The past sea¬ 
son the first shipment brought 20 cents per pint wholesale, 
and during the whole season it ran from 2 to 4 cents higher than any other Raspberry I shipped. It is at least ten days 
ahead of any other berry that I ship; it has the advantage also of ripening in large quantities at once, thereby enabling the 
grower to get the bulk of his crop oil before the market gets glutted. So far as my kn wledge extends, it is the best berry 
for grower and shipper.” Full information concerning this remarkable Raspberry, its history, record in the market, des¬ 
cription, notices of the press, with a beautiful ckromo and prices of plants, maiLd all applicants.
