G. H. & J. II. HALE S CATALOGUE OF 
I never saw as well rooted or as well packed plants in all my pur¬ 
chasing experience as those I had from you, and must compliment you 
highly. The season was very unfavorable, and the Earhart and all 
other black-caps goose and raspberries sun scalded and died in mid¬ 
summer. The Earhart was in full bloom when it died, but I attribute 
the the failure entirely to the unfavorable season. 
ROBERT M. HAGER, Gainesville, Florida. 
All of my Earhart p'ants but one were killed by the " com hug” 
or “ worm,” and that one produced some fine fruit during the fall. 
C. RABB, Ottawa, Kansas. 
The Earhart did fairly well, but we had an unusually dry season 
to test plants. I had a few very fine berries, and, all things consid¬ 
ered, the plants made a strong growth. I have great confidence in it, 
and shall plant more next spring. 
R. M. BROWN, Normal, Ill. 
The plants received last spring have all made a very fine growth 
for such a hard season. Soon after the plants began to leave out they 
received a severe thrashing from a hard hail storm. The Earhart 
showed considerable spunk by showing the finest growth of canes I 
have ever seen, beautiful, glossy, dark green foliage of great orna¬ 
mental appearance. We gathered some fine bunches of delicious 
fruit in August, September, and October. I feel confident it will merit 
your greatest recommendation. ■ 
L. D. BUCKLAND, Bountiful, Utah. 
The Earhart Raspberry stood the dry, hot summer better than 
any variety I ever grew; and from the dozen plants received last 
spring we picked twelve quarts of fine fruit in Augustand Septem¬ 
ber ; and in an ordinary season I think they will be a great success. 
L. WILSON, Peoria, Ill. 
I am very much pleased with the Earhart. Some of them 
bloomed and bore berries. They were better than I expected them 
to be for the first season. 
JACOB FRANK, Fail-mount, N. J. 
In spite of the extreme dry weather the Earharts were bound to 
fruit, but I did not think it best to let them, so picked them off as 
fast as they appeared, except on one cane, that ripened some extra 
nice berries. C. VESPER, Rolling Prairie, Wis. 
I planted the few plants of 
Earhart the last of March, on 
high, dry ground, and began to 
gather fine ripe fruit from them 
early in July, and had consid¬ 
erable all through the season. 
There is no berry that will com¬ 
pare with it for this section.

Oliver Springs, lenn. 
Did not suppose, when I paid you $3 last spring for one dozen Earliar 1 
plants, I would really get an Everbearing Raspberry; but fifteen plants out of 
the dozen lived made a strong growth, and ripened their first fruit about 
August 6th—fifty berries or more on a cane. September 20th the second crop 
began to ripen, with about the same number ol berries on each cane. One 
cane I took to the Erie County Fair. The fruit is as good as any I ever 
tasted. I think it the coming berry. C. W. ZUCK, West Millcreck, Pa. 
The Earharts bloomed freely in summer and early fall, and no doubt would 
have fruited had it not been so extremely dry. I admire its beautiful crimplcd 
foliage and manner of growth. LAURIE TATUM, Springdale, Iowa. 
Nearly every cane of Earhart blossomed and set fruit; all but two were 
cut off; these two bore two or three dozen berries each, as large as Gregg and 
much better quality; jet black and quite juicy, ripening about Sept. 10th. 
H. L. FAIRCHILD, Nichols, Conn. 
The foliage of Earhart is very healthy and beautiful. Some of the canes 
bore heavy clusters of fruit, which I think very remarkable, as it was the first 
season of their being planted. H. C. PAGE, Ashburnham, Mass. 
Although the season has been very dry the Earhart ripened some fine ber¬ 
ries, of good quality, in October. 
DANIEL WENTZ, Apine, York County, Pa. 
I received your catalogue and read of the Earhart—I thought, an Ever- 
bearing humbug ; but bought some plants, and they came in the mail. I plant 
them as soon as received, and they start quick, and they fruited in July,and 
kept on fruiting till frost stopped them in the last part of October; and all vis¬ 
itors that see them cry out, ‘‘Oh, what beautiful berries!” *' What beautiful 
foliage !” “ Oh, ain't they lovely 1 ” With all this it wasapoor season, hot and 
dry. (The wild raspberries failed to fruit.) Ever)-man that owns some land 
and some children, he should plant some Earhart Raspberries, for they supply 
fruit from July to October. LOUIS C. KOEHLER, Fish Mills, Wis. 
I am much pleased with the Earhart Raspberry bom you. They all grew 
and bloomed freely, but the drouth ruined the fruit. I think they will do well in 
this climate. J. Y. McFALL, Newberry, S. C. 
My spring-set plants of Earhart showed some ripe fruit on the new growth 
about midsummer, and continued fruiting till fall. The foliage is beautiful, dif- Earhart— Reduced size, from pho-
