Raspberries 
Raspberries both black and red varieties are very easily grown, but it is a 
wise plan to be sure and get the varieties that are suited to your immediate 
locality. 
Black Raspberries should be planted in rows 3x7 feet and the red varieties 
3x6 feet in the rows and 5 feet between the rows, by planting them this way, it 
will enable you to work the rows both ways and eliminate any hand work with 
the hoe. Care should be taken in planting raspberries on well drained soil, a 
light sandy loam seems to be better suited for this class of fruit.

RED RASPBERRIES 
Cuthbert (Queen of the Market). The canes are strong, upright, very vigor¬ 
ous, sometimes branching; foliage luxuriant; fruit large to very large; red; 
moderately firm, with high, spright-

ly flavor; very productive. Its many 
valuable qualities render it desirable 
for home or market culture. It suc¬ 
ceeds well generally, and is almost 
the only one that can be relied on in 
the cotton states. We commend it 
to planters in all sectons. 
Columbian. An improvement on Shaf¬ 
fer’s, which it resembles, but the 
berry is firmer; adheres to the bush 
much longer and retains its shape 
better, both on the market and in 
canning; bush a strong grower, at¬ 
taining a very large size; one of the 
hardiest, and wonderfully prolific; 
unexcelled for productiveness and stands at the head for canning, making jam, jelly, etc.; 
fruit very large, dark red. 
Latham. The berries are large, dark red, of uniform size and present a beautiful sight on 
the bushes and in boxes. Commences bearing usually the first year. Covers an extra 
long fruiting season. Vigorous. Perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. 
St. Regis. Is the only Raspberry, thus far known, that will yield a crop of fruit the 
season planted. The berries are of a bright crimson, of large size and of surpassing 
quality—rich and sugary with full Raspberry flavor. They are of exceedingly meaty, 
firm texture and keep in good condition longer, after being gathered, than any other 
red Raspberries. As a shipper it is unexcelled, making it one of the valuable Rasp¬ 
berries for market. 
Cumberland. Large berry; hardy, firm and productive. It is a strong, vigorous grower, 
and fully equal to the Gregg, ripening a little in advance of that well-known standard 
variety. For those who prefer a black Raspberry, Cumberland 
will prove one of the 
most satisfactory and profitable to plant. The plant is par¬ 
ticularly strong and vigorous. 
Gregg. This is one of the largest, if not the largest of the 
Blackcap family; fruit large, black, with a slight bloom; 
flesh quite firm, moderately juicy, sweet and rich; the fruit 
ripens late and very evenly, making the picking season short. 
Kansas. Strong, vigorous grower, standing extremes of 
drought and cold, and bearing immense crops; early. 
Berries size of Gregg; jet black and almost free from 
bloom; firm, of best quality. 
Munger. Resembles Gregg very much. It is a better-flavored 
berry than Gregg, tougher in texture, and therefore a better 
shipper. Its season of ripening is from five to eight days 
later than Gregg, and has a 
special faculty of withstanding 
drought and hot sun. 
YELLOW RASPBERRY 
Cumberland. 
Raspberries. 
Golden Queen. A seedling or 
“sport” of the Cuthbert, and in 
hardiness and vigorous growth of 
plant resembles that variety; 
fruit of large size ; color beauti¬ 
ful yellow; flavor excellent.
