rich, juicy pulp, with a distinct flavor of its own, 
making it a most delicious table berry. This is 
without doubt the most valuable purple cap yer pro¬ 
duced, as it is more hardy in cane and certainly 
more prolific than any other sort with which I am 
acquainted. For canning purposes it is undoubtedly 
one of the very best raspberries in cultivation, yields 
an enormous crop and is perfectly hardy, probably 
the easiest grown of all raspberries. Those who have 
failed with other varieties will be almost sure to 
succeed with this. 
CUTHBERT (Red). — This is a variety that I 
can unhesitatingly recommend either for the home 
garden or for market. I doubt very much if there is 
any variety that will surpass it. For all purposes 
ic is unquestionably one of the best, if not the very 
best, of the red raspberries of its season. It is a 
strong grower, with healthy foliage, and on good 
soil it is very productive. It is one of the old, stand¬ 
ard, reliable sorts that will give a good crop of large, 
red berries, and it is probably more largely grown 
than any offlter variety in this country, whether for 
market or home use. The berries are of large size, 
a good scarlet color, firm, good quality, sprightly and 
rich. The Cuthbert should be included in all orders 
for red raspberries. 
KING (Red).— 'J rhis is undoubtedly the best of 
the early red varieties, and unites earliness with 
large size. Bright scarlet color, flesh firm, good 
quality and productive. It makes a vigorous growth 
and is very hardy. Its lively, bright color aud firm¬ 
ness makes it a favorite with those who grow red 
raspberries for market. It is very hardy, standing 
cold and heat where many others fail. Scarcely too 
much can be said in favor of this variety 
re¬ 
pale green and splendid quality ; fine for both "cook¬ 
ing and table use. A vigorous grower and usually 
free from mildew. 
PEARL. —>A cross between Houghton and some 
large English variety. Very hardy, free from mildew, 
and superior in size and quality. It is claimed to 
be more productive than the Downing and resembles 
that variety quite a little. 
JOSELYN (RED JACKET). —This variety has 
been well tested over a wide range of territory and 
has proven very satisfactory. It is a heavy cropper 
and has bright green, healthy foliage. An American 
seedling of large size, smooth, prolific and hardy. 
Quality among the best. 
.MOUNTAIN SEEDLING. —This is a new va¬ 
riety, with unusual vigor and great productiveness, 
it is slightly larger than Houghton, and seems to 
have all of the good qualities of that variety. It 
makes heavier canes and holds the foliage longer 
than anything on the place. 
Gooseberries 
DOWNING. —One of the oldest and most 
markable of the large fruiting varieties. Hands
