gest Standard Raspberries» 
Cuthbert— A very large red variety of superb quality. It is always of 
large size and an enormous yielder, and grows freely in any situa¬ 
tion. 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. 
Colden 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, pulpy and juicy. 
Thompson’s Early Prolific— The earliest Raspberry yet introduced, 
and a great cropper. Berries of a fair size, bright crimson color, and 
of extra fine quality. Perfectly hardy and a sure cropper. 
Kansas— The King of all Black Cap Berries. Medium early, large 
size, great productiveness, excellent quality and perfect hardiness 
make it superior to any other black variety. 
Muskingum— It is a cap variety, though purplish red in color, while 
its juice is a rich sparkling ruby. It is valuable for the enormous 
amount of '.fruit which the bushes produce. Fruit is very large in 
size and superior in quality to any of the black caps. 
Price , 60c. per dozen; $2.00 per 100. 
'\cw y Raspberries, 
Great American— This giant berry is the “Eureka” of 
Luther Burbank, we having purchased the stock three 
years ago and grown it here at Floral Park. It is the 
largest Raspberry in culivation, being a real giant by 
the side of onr common garden varieties like Cuthbert, 
Gregg, Souhegan, etc. The above cut shows the compar¬ 
ative size. Color bright red,, firm, very productive, of a 
luscious, piquant, acid flavor so much 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 berry novelties of our time, and must 
become the standard in every garden. Strong bushes, 
20c. each : 3 for 50c. 7 for $1.00. 
Souchet White— A large berry of light amber, almost 
white, color. A luxuriant grower, free bearer, and 
hardy. Berries extra large, and of a peculiar rich, sugary 
flavor. One of the highest flavored of all berries. 
20c. each ; 3 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00. 
Childs’ Allsummer —An everbearer, commencing to ripen 
its large berries in July and continues until killed by 
autum frost. The plants are strong and vigorous, 
growing three to five feet in height, standing erect 
without stakes or other support. Foliage very large 
and rank, dark green above and silver 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 lenth by 15 feet in 
width, besides a single row 150 feet long. -From this 
plot and the row we picked last year fully 11 bushels of 
berries. Is not that a good yield? 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 
September 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. 
20c. each ; 3 for 50c. 7 for $1.00. 
SPECIAL OFFER —One plant each of above three New 
Raspberries for UOc.; 3 of each for $1.00; 12 of each for $3.00. 
SOUCHET WHITE. 
Columbian— A Raspberry of gigantic size, the canes grow 
ing to the height of 10 to IB 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. 20c. each ; 3 for 50c. 
Mohler —A new berry of great merit. Claimed to be the 
finest Black Cap in cultivation. It is a strong grower, 
very hardy and early to ripen. Fruit of largest size and 
best flavor, and produced in enormous quantity, almost 
double that of any other Black Cap. It is certainly a 
most valuable acquisition. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
Cault —A new Black Cap which produces its fruit in enor¬ 
mous clusters, and is a true everbearer, fruiting freely 
from June until killed by October frosts. Plants set this 
spring will fruit next fall and give a good crop. Fruit 
of gigantic size and fine quality. 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.
