G. H. k J. H. HALE’S CATALOGUE OF 
Tip of young cane of Earhart Raspberry engraved from nature, by The Rural New Yorker, which says (see Rural 
for JMov. 2i, 1885) : “ The leaves are extremely wrinkled or corrugated, and of such 
distinct shades of green, as to be very ornamental ." 
They would fruit in spite of me, and some were in bloom, besides green and ripe berries, when frost came. 
J. H. LOVELL, Westminster, Mass., November 21, 1886. 
Earhart grew finely; resisted the extreme drouth, retaining its beautiful foliage until frost; bore a few fine 
berries; am much pleased with it. J. N. MENIFEE, Oregon, Mo. 
The plants of Earhart came very late for our climate, but grew fairly well; gave me one bunch of five berries in 
September. I think it a good grower and a most beautiful plant. T. P. CAMPBELL, Bolivar, Tenn. 
My plants of Earhart, set this spring, grew finely, and commenced to fruit early in the summer. * * They 
seem to withstand drouth v;ry well, and out of five varieties received through the mail, they arc the only ones that 
lived. MRS. J. W. NELSON, Bolivar, Mo. 
Of the dozen Earhart plants bought of you last spring, thirteen of them lived, and from the 10th to the 20th of 
September I picked four large messes of berries for our table and took one quart to the village to show, and on October 
23d when hard frost came there was at least i\A quarts of fruit on the vines 
OSCAR A. BOOTH, Coxsackie, N. Y. 
The Earhart plants all grew and made canes ten feet long; began to fruit in August and bore right along till 
stopped by freezing in the Fall. ISAAC N. WOOD, Fall River, Mass. 
' The Earhart plants sent me were very fine ones and have made a most vigorous growth. Strong handsome 
canes with the finest foliage I ever saw on any raspberry. A few canes fruited abundantly during the Fall, and to-day 
(November 19th) one cane full of half-ripened fruit stands out of the snow waiting for Spring. 
H. C. PHELPS, Berlin Heights, Ohio. 
The small plants of Earhart RaspbciTy that I received from you by mail last spring, made a very vigorous 
growth, and produced some fine fruit in September and October—twenty to thirty berries of excellent flavor on a 
single cane. N. A. WHEELER, Alpowa, Washington Territory. 
Six months of continuous fruiting is the story told of the Earhart by the illus¬ 
trations on the preceding pages. Would have been glad to show them all full size 
of the fruit, but space is too valuable. However, the full-sized one on page 9 is 
only a fair sample of all the rest as to size of berries. 
Price of plants, $3 per dozen, S20 per 100. 
Our Farm has been selected as an Experiment Station for the
