CURRANTS (Continued) 
Gold Medal at the World’s Fair. 25 cts. each; 
$2.50 per doz.; $18 per 100. 
Wilder. A remarkable new variety for which 
we predict a great future, both for table and j 
market; strong grower, enormously productive; | 
bunch and berry very large, bright red and of 
highest sub-acid quality, making it unequaled 
for the table, cooking or market. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
This fruit is so useful for cooking when green 
or ripe, and it may be canned with such facility, 
that it is beginning to be cultivated very exten¬ 
sively, for both home and market use. It requires 
the same cultivation, and treatment for worms as 
the currant. The American varieties, though not 
quite so large as the English, are of fine quality, 
and, unlike the latter, are not subject to mildew. 
Prices—English varieties, except as otherwise 
noted, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. American, 
$2 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
ENGLISH VARIETIES (Large Fruited) 
Industry. An English variety; quite as free from 
mildew as our American sorts; very fine in 
quality; large size. Handsome, showy red fruit; 
wonderfully productive. 
Victoria. New. We guarantee it to be far supe¬ 
rior to any other gooseberry. The berries are 
larger than Industry, and are 7 to 10 days earlier. 
It bears marvelous crops. Last season we 
picked, from a Victoria bush, three years old, 
28K pounds of fine, large fruit. Never mildews. 
A rapid grower, making shoots 3 feet, 9 inches 
in a season. We cannot recommend it too 
highly. 50 cts. each; $4 per doz.; $25 per 100. 
AMERICAN VARIETIES 
Columbus. This is one of the most valuable in¬ 
troductions of recent years in small fruits, and 
it fully sustains the high opinion first formed 
of it. The fruit is of largest size; handsome; 
greenish-yellow color; excellent quality. The 
plant is vigorous and productive and does not 
mildew. It merits a place in every garden. 
Downing. Fruit larger than Houghton; roundish; 
light green, with distinct veins; skin smooth; 
flesh rather soft, juicy and very good. Vigor¬ 
ous and productive. 
Red Jacket. An American seedling of large size; 
smooth, prolific and hardy, of best quality. Has 
been well tested over a wide extent of terri¬ 
tory by the side of all leading varieties. A won¬ 
derful cropper, with bright, healthy foliage. 
VICTORIA GOOSEBERRY—Quarter Actual Size. 
RASPBERRIES 
Coming immediately after strawberries, when 
there is a dearth of other fresh fruits, raspberries 
are equally desirable for planting in the garden 
for home use, and in the field for market. They 
are very easily cultivated. Beds seldom require 
renewing. Their season of ripening is long. The 
fruit bears transportation well, and aside from the 
demand for it for immediate consumption, it 
brings highly remunerative prices for drying and 
canning. 
Plant in good soil and manure from time to 
time freely. The hills should not be less than four 
feet apart each way, with two or three plants in a 
hill. Cut out the old and weak shoots each year, 
preserving not over six for fruiting. If the loca¬ 
tion is so much exposed that the plants are inclined 
to kill down seriously, they may be bent over in 
the fall, on mounds of earth formed at one side 
I of the hills and covered sufficiently to keep them 
j down until spring. Surplus suckers take strength 
I from the bearing plants. They should be cut 
1 away or hoed up frequently. 
Prices, strong plants, except as otherwise noted, 
$1 per doz.; $5 per 100. 
RED AND YELLOW VARIETIES 
Columbian. A most vigorous grower; canes 10 to 
16 feet in length. Roots deep; hardy. Fruit 
very large, somewhat conical; color, dark red; 
seed small; delicious; very valuable for both 
canning and table use. Fruiting season unusually 
long. July 12 to August 15. An excellent ship¬ 
per. Wonderfully productive. 
Cuthbert (Queen of the Market). Large, coni¬ 
cal; deep, rich crimson; firm; of excellent qual¬ 
ity. A vigorous grower, entirely hardy and im¬ 
mensely productive. 
Golden Queen. Rich golden yellow. The flavor 
is the highest^quality. In size equal to Cuthbert; 
immensely productive; a very strong grower 
and hardy enough even for extreme northern 
latitudes. 
King. The earliest red raspberry on record. Fruit 
round, medium size, light crimson color, moder¬ 
ately firm and of excellent quality. 
Marlboro. The best early red raspberry for the 
North, ripening soon after the Hansell. Hardy 
and productive. 
THE NEW EVERBEARING RASPBERRY 
RANERE. The heaviest cropping everbearing 
raspberry known—St. Regis is good—RANERE 
IS BETTER—better than anything you ever 
planted in the raspberry line. 
Bears the first year planted, producing its first 
fruit in June and continuing to produce great 
quantities of bright crimson, luscious berries 
every day all summer until frosts. Rich, sugary, 
with full raspberry flavor; they are of exceed¬ 
ingly meaty, firm texture, and keep in good 
condition longer after being gathered than any 
other raspberry. 
RANERE is the earliest of all raspberries, begin¬ 
ning to ripen in Northern New York June 10, 
just as the strawberry crop is waning. It is won¬ 
derfully prolific, the first or main crop being far 
greater than that of any other red variety known, 
equaling the most prolific black cap or purple 
cane sort; it gives a good crop of fruit all sum-
