YELLOW VARIETIES 
Golden Queen — A seedling of Cuthbert, equaling that variety in vigor of bush and pro¬ 
ductiveness. Fruit large; color a pure yellow; quality best. Ripens with Cuthbert. 
A decided acquisition. 
BLACK CAPS. 
Cumberland — This new raspberry originated in Pennsylvania, and is supposed to be a 
seedling of the Gregg, with a dash of blackberry blood in it. The largest black rasp¬ 
berry known; has been well tested in nearly all sections the past season, giving thorough 
satisfaction. In hardiness and productiveness it is unexcelled by any other variety. 
The quality is very similar and fully equal to Gregg. In spite of its unusual size, the 
fruit is possessed of great firmness, and is thus well adapted for standing long ship¬ 
ments. It follows Palmer and Souhegan and precedes Gregg a short time, making 
it a mid-season variety. The bush is exceedingly healthy and vigorous, throwing up 
stout, stocky canes, well adapted for supporting their loads of large fruit. Large 
growers report yields of two and three times as much per acre as Ohio, under same 
conditions, and far ahead of all other varieties. 
Conrath — One of the best new varieties introduced for years. It is a very strong grower 
and hardy in wood and bud ; very productive; quality fine. It has been widely tested 
and is highly recommended from all sections of the country. 
Gregg—One of the most valuable varieties of the black cap family; fruit larger than the 
Mammoth Cluster, but not quite so good in quality; ripens some days later; hardy, a 
vigorous grower and great yielder. 
Kansas — A seedling originated at Lawrence, Kan.; ripens soon after the Palmer. Berries 
as large or larger than Gregg; jet black, and of the very best quality. It has been 
thoroughly tried at the Experimental Station, and is favorably recommended. It 
stands the trying climate of Kansas, where nearly all other varieties fail. It has 
become a standard variety over a large part of the country. 
blackberries 
Blower — Originated in the celebrated small fruit belt of Chautauqua County, N. Y., where 
it has been thoroughly tested for several seasons. Claimed to be the hardiest, most 
productive, the finest quality and to bring on the market the highest price of all black¬ 
berries. Has produced 2694 berries on one bush, 2720 quarts on one-third acre. Large 
size, jet black, good shipper, best quality, unexcelled productiveness are the main 
characteristics of this splendid new sort. 
Eldorado— A valuable new variety; fruit medium size, jet black, melting, sweet and rich, 
plant hardy and very productive. 
Erie—This is a hardy blackberry that originated near Lake Erie. The bush is healthy 
and very productive, as well as hardy; fruit large, round, jet black, and good quality. 
Ripens very early and is a decided acquisition. 
Snyder — Extremely hardy, enormously productive, medium size, no hard, sour core, half 
as many thorns as Lawton or Kittatinny, and they are nearly straight and short; 
exceedingly productive. 
Taylor— One of the largest blackberries grown. Fruit of the best quality, melting and 
without core; very productive, and as hardy as the Snyder. 
Wilson, Jr.— A week earlier than Old Wilson, from which it is a seedling. Of largest size, 
and enormously productive; promises to be a very valuable sort. In severe climates 
should have winter protection. 
DEWBERRIES OR RUNNING BLACKBERRIES 
Lucretia— One of the low-growing trailing blackberries; in size and quality it equals any 
of the tall growing sorts. Perfectly hardy, healthy and remarkably productive, with 
large, showy flowers. The fruit, which ripens early, is often one ana one-half inches 
long by one inch in diameter; soft, sweet and luscious throughout, with no hard core; 
ripe before late raspberries are gone. Should be mulched to keep berries from ground. 
We can highly recommend this variety.
