'Red Raspberries 
WORTHY. Tliis hardy red Raspberry is 
- - a native Connecticut seed¬ 
ling. It is a stocky, semi-dwarf bush with 
broad, lougli, leathery foliage ; twigs free from 
all disease, wonderfully 
productive of medium to 
large dark red berries of 
excellent quality. The 
earliest large, good red 
Raspberry known. Contin¬ 
ues a long time in fruiting, 
and ripens its latest berries 
almost as large as the very 
first. A hardy, productive, 
early Raspberry is always 
profitable, and in this re¬ 
spect Worthy heads the list.

Loudon. 
This cross between the hardy, ironclad 
Turner and the superb and reliable Cuth- 
bert combines the hardiness of cane and 
light bright red of Turner with the larger 
and more luscious Cuthbert. It is very productive, 
large and beautiful, of fine quality, and ripens 
some days earlier than Cuthbert and just following 
Worthy. Fills in the midseason perfectly, and if but 
one variety is to be grown, is probably best of all.

F ollowing strawberries, come the delicious Raspberries in great variety of color, quali¬ 
ties and season of ripening, sufficient to satisfy the most e.xacting taste or critical market. 
If I had nothing but very dry sandy land, I would grow some Raspberries, though it is 
the least desirable f-r them, and a good, strong loam or natural good grass and corn land 
^ ^ is better. There is plenty of good land about every home and farm where Raspberries 
may be grown to perfection, either for family supply or market, and no home can alTord to be 
without plenty of them. To produce them in highest perfection, plant in hills not less than si.v 
feet apart each way, and train to stakes 4 to 5 feet. 
This is the most e.xpensive plan, and many who plant in hills prefer to pinch olT the tips of 
canes wlien 2% to 3 feet high, which forces many side branches and makes the canes strong 
enough to stand alone. 
Others prefer to cultivate in hedge-rows, 5 to 7 feet apart, plants 15 to 18 inches in the row, 
and pinch back so as to stand alone without stakes or trellis. A field of Raspberries successfully 
established may be kept in profitable fruiting 4 to 8 
years, and while not yielding so heavily as strawberries, 
they are much more cheaply grown and are therefore 
often more profitable, the large varieties of blackcaps 
being especially in increasing demand. 
It is the aim of this list to name only a few of the 
very best varieties in each class. 1 know of none others 
as good as the following; 
CUTHBL/RT I^l-ant vigorous, very prolific; fruit very large, conical, deep red, delicious 
-and firm. Season medium to very late, which is somewhat of an objection 
in sections where only early ripening is required to make fruit culture profitable. Is certainly a 
fine berry for family use or select markets, and under careful growth the fruit becomes e.vtremely 
large and handsome. Price, 50 cts. per doz., Si.50 per 100.
