AMERICAN '^AGRICULTURIST, 
[September, 
Mammoth Cluster Raspberry. 
Warranted to stand the most severe winters in the most 
exposed situations. We most emphatically pronounce this 
superior in size and productiveness to any hlaclc raspberry 
ever yet introduced. We speak from nearly twenty years of 
practical experience in small fruit culture. 
Chas. Downing saw it on our grounds this season, and says 
of it: “It is very much the largest of any black cap I have 
ever seen, and coining in, as it does, alter the other black 
caps are done, it is a valuable addition to that class of rasp¬ 
berries.” Andrew S. Puller says: “It is the largest black 
raspberry I have ever seen, and I have some twenty- 
five varieties on my grounds.” D. D. T. Moore says: 
“The largest and most productive black raspberry 
we have ever seen, and of superior flavor.” Wil¬ 
cox, of the Rural New-Yorker, says on our grounds: 
“ I never saw anything equal to it in the raspberry 
line.” The Rural New-Yorker, of Aug. 8, says: “The 
canes are of a stockier and more erect growth, than those of 
the Doolittle or Miami; and the color of the foliage a shade 
darker. The fruit stalks are long, and the fruit is chiefly 
borne on the ends in magnificent, heavy clusters. The ber¬ 
ry is larger, and therefore juicier and more acceptable to the 
taste, than the Doolittle. These qualities, and its prolific 
habit, and late period of ripening, render it a valuable ac¬ 
quisition.” The “Palmyra Courier” says: “It could not 
have been more appropriately named, for the fruit was of 
monstrous size, and liung in large clusters all over the bush. 
We certainly never saw such a mass of fruit on bushes be¬ 
fore. The bushes resembled a row of two-year old peach 
trees in the same field.” Anderson & Co., Commission Mer¬ 
chants, 203 Washington-st., N. Y., write us: “The ‘ Mammoth 
Cluster' you have consigned to us, are the largest and 
best flavored,—in fact, the' most perfect raspberry, we have 
ever seen. No such variety is raised in the vicinity of New 
York. We think they will take the lead as a market berry.” 
F8r cut, showing full size of fruit, description, testimonials, 
etc., send for our “ Circular of new sorts.’’ Price of 
plants, $3 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
Golden Cap.— We claim to have the largest, most pro¬ 
ductive and profitable yellow raspberry grown. All of the 
visitors to our grounds the present season pronounce them 
superior to any “ Golden Cap ” they ever saw. $1 per doz.; 
$5 per 100. 
Seneca Blade Cap.— Entirely distinct. Flavor un¬ 
surpassed. Its rich, sprightly tart makes it very fine for tarts, 
puddings, canning, etc. Extremely late, and fully as prolific 
and large as the Doolittle, 20 cts. each; $2 per doz.; $10 per 
100 .

has been claimed for it. The earliest of all. 20 cts. each;

desirable on account of yielding a fine crop of fruit in the 
fall—at a time when no other small fruits are to be had.

Warder, and other reliable horticulturists and pomologists.

STRAWBERRIES. 
Colfax.— First introduced into South Bend, Ind., by the 
Hon. Schuyler Colfax. We offer it as a reliable family and 
near market berry, and challenge the world to produce its 
equal for productivness, or for size, hardiness, and strength 
of plant. Berry, medium to large, perfectly symmetrical; 
color, dark crimson; with a peculiar, spicy, sub-acid flavor. 
Season, medium to very late. Appearance beautiful. Not 
sufficiently firm for distant markets, but just the berry for 
home use and near markets. See our “ Circular of New 
Sokts ” for fuller description, fine cut of the fruit, etc. $2 
per doz.; $10 per 100. 
Penk’s Emperor.— Originated by E. Peak, of South 
Bend, Ind. Very large size, single specimens often mea¬ 
suring (i'/i inches in circumference. Plant quite similar to 
the Agriculturist, but more hardy, and does not sunburn. 
Fruit equal in flavor, but far superior in productiveness with 
us. Fruited four years, and is recommended by the most in¬ 
telligent amateurs and best judges of fruits in our acquaint¬ 
ance, as excelling in uniformity and. great size,flavor, fer¬ 
tilizing properties, and market qualifications, all other va¬ 
rieties. IVe offer it both for family use and market. See our 
“ Circular of New Fruits ” for splendid cut, testimonials, 
etc. $3 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
Romcyn’s Seedling.— Originally obtained by us from 
Joseph Foster, of Kingston, N. Y. A seedling of Triomphe 
de Gaud, but more prolific, and of higher flavor. Highly 
recommended by Chas. Downing and others. $2 per doz.; 
$10 per 100.

Perpetual Pine, (Glcede).—$1 per doz.; $5 per 100. 
Baines’ Mammoth.— Enormously large, solid, and

N.B.—Plants will do much better, and increase fully double 
next season, if set this fall, instead of next spring. All that is 
necessary is merely to throw a little litter over them, to pre¬ 
vent ground from “ heaving.” A plot of one acre of straw¬ 
berries, set last of Oct. and first of Nov. last, yielded this sea¬ 
son sixteen bushels of fruit.
