NEW RASPBERRY, 
BAUMFORTH’S SEEDLING. 
Feosi the great reputation this splendid new Rasp¬ 
berry has attained for size, quality, and heavy cropping, 
the demand for canes has been enormous the last 
season, and I believe, from information received, I 
may this year anticipate orders far exceeding last. 
Extract from “ The Gardeners’ Chronicle,” 
March 1, 1884, p. 280. 
RASPBERRY—BAUMFORTH’S SEEDLING. 
' “Planters of Raspberries should not omit to obtain this 
excellent sort, and when once they have given it a fair trial, 
they will plant it in quantity. It has the character of being 
an excellent bearer, in good seasons bringing a fair second crop 
of fruit to maturity. The plant is vigorous, carries stout dark 
green foliage, and ‘large broad-piped dark crimson fruit. It is 
much valued on the strong loamy soils of Bucks.” 
From Mr. D. Melville, Gardener to Mrs. Hornsby, 
St. Vincents, Somerby. 
“ Having had ample opportunity of judging the merits of 
your excellent Raspberry, Baumforth’s Seedling, I must 
congratulate you on behalf of what I consider, without doubt, 
the best Raspberry in cultivation. The fruit is an extra¬ 
ordinary size, much larger than any variety of Raspberry I am 
acquainted with. Excellent flavour, in shape of berry round 
with dark crimson colour, a vigorous grower, and a most 
prolific constitution, supplying a quantity of fine fruit in the 
autumn from the season’s young wood. I would strongly 
recommend intending planters to give Baumforth’s Seedling a 
fair trial, which under ordinary treatment is certain to give 
satisfaction.” 
Early Orders respectfully solicited.
