Two (Jpar^d ReW Raspberries. 
Co! umblan-A Raspberry of gigantic size, the canes growing to the height 
of 10 to 16 feet, strong and woody. Very hardy and vigorous. Fruit 
large, dark red with small seeds. A Cap variety, never suckers and is 
increased by tips. This is really a wonderful berry, and one which 
should have a place in all gardens, it being so entirely distinct from all 
others. 15c. each; 3 for 30c; 12 for $1.00. 
Great American— This giant berry is the “Eureka” of Luther Burbank. 
It is the largest berry in cultivation, being a real giant by the side of 
our common garden varieties like Cuthbert, Gregg, Souhegan, etc. 
The above cut shows the comparative size. Color bright red, firm, very 
productive, of a luscious, piquant, acid flavor, so rmich admired. 
Twice as large as Shaffer’s Colossal, which is one of the largest berries 
in cultivation. Bushes compact in growth, free from prickles, robust, 
and of iron-clad hardiness. This is one of the great berry novelties of 
our time and must become the standard in every garden. Strong 
bushes, 20c. each; 4 for 50c.; 10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00.

support. Foliage very large and rank, dark green 
above and silvery white underneath. In hardiness 
nothing can surpass it, as it has never been injured in 
the severest climate. It is immensely prolific, the 
berries being of great size, and dark red in color; quality 
extra fine. Mrs. Stowe, of Montana, says: “It has 
fruited for five years and borne a full crop each year, no 
matter how hot the weather. Our plot is 45 feet in 
length by 15 feet in width, besides a single row 115 feet 
long. From this plot and the row we picked last year 
fully 11 bushels of berries. For five years the yield has 
been very uniform. In 1889 the yield during July was 
244 boxes; August, 175 boxes; September. 27 boxes, an 
abundance of green fruit being killed by frost Septem¬ 
ber 25th. In many sections where the season is long 
enough its October crop is the largest.” To see it at its 
very best it must have a moist soil or plenty of water. 
S o u c h e t Everbearing 
White— An extra large 
berry of a beautiful light 
amber almostpure white 
color. Plant has the same 
general habit as Childs’ 
Allsummer, but it is bet¬ 
ter for dry soils. Perfect¬ 
ly hardy, vigorous and a 
great cropper, both sum¬ 
mer and fall. The fruit is 
of extra fine quality. In 
fact we think it the finest 
flavored of all Raspber¬ 
ries, therefore'most desir¬ 
able for the home garden. 
Its beautiful color con¬ 
trasting with red or 
black varieties makes a 
very appetizing dish 
when served together. 
In many respects this is 
the very finest Raspberry c 
in cultivation. Py RIght i897 ex
