New Climbing Raspberry, Golden Climber. 
A MOST UNIQUE AND VALUABLE NOVELTY. 
A climbing Raspberry is a novelty of more than ordinary 
importance, and one that is sure to delight all who appreciate the 
unique and valuable in horticulture. This berry has grown and 
fruited with us for two years, and we can offer it with our strong¬ 
est recommendation. Planted ir. a good rich soil, near a building 
or trellis, it will grow 10 to 15 feet in a season, and the strong vigor¬ 
ous branches may be fastened up to a trellis or building as one 
would secure a grapevine. Its fruit ripens very early, (one of the 
very first, of all Raspberries), and is produced in very large clus¬ 
ters, is of good size and fine quality, and deep golden yellow in 
color. Foliage large, vigorous and healthy, and it is a berry of the 
most thorough ironclad hardiness. It being such a rank grower 
and producing such an enormous amount of wood makes it im¬ 
mensely productive. It will probably yield twice as much fruit as 
any other sort. It is ornamental as well as useful, and taken all in 
all our customers will find it exceedingly valuable, and capable of 
being put to many good uses. Fine , strong plants. 20c. each: 8 for 50c. 
Best Standard Raspberries. 
Cuthbert —A very large red variety of superb quality. It is 
an enormousyielder, and grows freely in any situation. It will 
adapt itself to any wild or out-of-the-way place and make a 
splendid wild berry if one has not the time to give it culture. 
Qolden Queen -This is a sport from the Cuthbert. and is exactly 
like that excellent berry in all respects, except that its color, 
when ripe, is a fine rich golden yellow. It is of high quality.

clusters, and is a true everbearer, fruiting freely from Jum
