CUTHBERT (Red).—This is undoubtedly one of 
the best red varieties. It is one of the old standard, 
reliable sorts that give a good crop of large red berries. 
It is probably more largely grown than any other va¬ 
riety in the country whether for market or home use. 
The berries are large in size, deep crimson in color; 
firm, good quality ; sprightly and rich. It is a strong 
grower, with healthy foliage, and on good soil is very 
productive. It is unquestionably the best red rasp¬ 
berry of its season. It is mid-season to late. A va¬ 
riety that I unhesitatingly recommend. 
CUMBERLAND (Black Cap).—One of the best, 
if not the very best, of all the black caps. It is very 
hardy and productive. In size the fruit' is simply 
enormous, far surpassing any other sort. The berries 
run seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and are of 
such handsome appearance that they are sure to bring 
a good price. It follows Palmer and Souhegan and 
precedes Gregg a short time, making it a mid-season 
variety. The bush is exceedingly healthy and vigor¬ 
ous, throwing out stout stock canes. We have some 
very fine plants and I think you will be pleased with 
them. 
KING (Red).—The leading red raspberry of the 
early kinds, and unites earliness, large size, bright 
color, firmness of flesh, good quality and productive¬ 
ness. It makes a vigorous growth, and is veryk hardy. 
Time of ripening is early. Its lively bright color and 
firmness make it a favorite market berry to ship. It 
is very hardy, standing cold or heat where many others 
fail. Scarcely too much can be said in favor of this 
variety. 
CRIMSON BEAUTY (Red).—A very hardy, 
rank-growing variety that is highly recommended, and 
especially for the family garden. Many points of su¬ 
periority are claimed for it by the introducer.
