PRICE LIST. 
For Auiutnn Planii7ig of Small Fruit Plants and Nursery Stock, ready for delivery 
after October loth. 
We wish we could impress upon our customers the fact that Fall is by far the best 
time in the whole year for planting Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseberries and Cur¬ 
rants, as they usually make double the growth the following season, over that of spring 
set plants, and for a family garden, where fruit is wanted at once, plants set out in Fall 
with tops left on and set a little slanting, so that they can be laid down and covered 
with earth at approach of winter, will, when uncovered and straightened up in Spring, 
give quite a little fruit, the first season, fully enough to pay all cost of plants and labor, 
This plan has proved very successful among those of our customers that have tested it. 
RASPBERRIES 
Require about the same soil and general preparation as strawberries. Some claim 
they do not require as heavy manuring, but the only objection we can see is that it 
increases the crop, and therefore the expense of picking and marketing; but as most 
cultivators don’t mind being troubled that way, we say apply manure liberally, and it 
will pay. A partial shade is no objection, as larger fruit can be grown in this way, 
although it will not be as fine flavored as that grown in the sun. If grown in hills, 
plant five feet apart, each way. If to be grown in hedges, plant rows seven feet apart, 
plants two feet apart in the row, and when the plants attain the height of two feet, 
pinch oil'the tops; this will cause them to grow a strong, stocky bush that will require 
no staking, and also have its wood ripened^ and therefore less likely to winter-kill. 
We ne'er only a very few varieties, but having tested almost every sort in cultivation 
we know these to be the veT\j best of their class. 
(JUTIIBERT,—After a thorough trial all over the country, this has proved to be 
I he be-4 and most reliable lied Raspberry in cidlivalion. Plant vigorous and hardy, even at 
the far north; very prolific; fruit very large ; deep rich red color and delicious flavor ; 
and firm enough to ship last season from our place to Boston, 118 miles, and arrive in 
condition to sell at thirty cents per quart at wholesale. Should be j)lanted by every 
one, whether they grow fruit for market or family use, as it is the best in all respects 
of any we have. Season, medium to very late. Price, 50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per 
100, $10 per 1,000, $40 per 5,000, $75 per 10,000. 
SUPERB (Kew).—A valuable early ripening variety, resembling the old and once 
reliable Philadelphia in color. Superb in quality. Should be in every family garden. 
$1 per dozen, $5 per 100. 
IIAXSELL (New).—A superior extra early variety. Bright crimson, good quality, 
and firm; medium size. Will doubtless prove a very profitable extra early market sort, 
as well as a valuable addition to the family garden. From the past season’s experience, 
we think it will stand the heat and drouth the best of any Red Raspberry now before the 
public. $1 per dozen, $5 per 100, $40 per 1,000. 
CAROLINE.—A seedling of Brinkle’s Orange. Plant strong, vigorous, and hardy. 
We give it no winter protection, and it always comes out alive in the spring. The fruit 
closely resembles Brinkle’s Orange, both in appearance (a light orange color) and 
quality. The hardiness of the plant and delicious quality of the fruit make this one 
of the choicest varieties for family use, and will doubtless be planted by all that ap¬ 
preciate a really first-class berry. ’ Price, 50 cents per dozen, $3 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 
MARLBORO.—For years past fruit growers have been on the lookout 
for a profitable early market Red Raspberry, and that we at last have it in the 
Marlboro no one can doubt that has ever seen it in fruiting. Plant as strong, healthy 
and vigorous as the Cuthbert; perfectly hardy here the past winter, when the mercury 
went to 24 below zero; very productive ; fruit of the largest size; bright red color, similar to 
Brandywine; fine compact grains, that never crumble; ripening here on the 25th of 
June, while the Cuthbert did not ripen till July 10. Four thousand dollars ^Ya8 offered 
the originator for the entire control of the stock by a dealer in j>lants, but was refused, 
Fully appreciating tlie iiiiportaiico of I’EOIGIIEE IN PLANTS as 
well as in animals, we have for years made a most CAREFUL SELEC¬ 
TION OF ALL STOCK FOR PROPAGATION, and we now offer for sale 
a Slock of plants which we believe to be equal, if not SUPERIOR, IN 
HEALTH, VIGOR and PRODUCTIVENESS to ANT IN THE COUNTRY.
