JAHES VICK.—Gave us the greatest promise of fruit of any variety ou our ground.s 
hist season, but the heavy May frost entirely ruined the crop, and we cannot speak 
from our own experience, except to say that the plant is by far the most healtliy and 
hardy of any we know. A writer in The Rural Home classes it among ten of the best 
market sorts out of si.xty varieties fruited this last season, and says of it; “ We have 
been f.ivorably disappointed as to its size. It has averaged fully as large as )yilson, and 
produced morejmU. By keeping it in narrow rows and giving good cultivation, it will 
produce a wonderful crop vffruit, of fine, regular form, n\\iX ripens so muclx at once that 
they can be picked very fast. The plant is a model of perfection in growUc’and hardiness. 
It is doubtful if it has an equal in this respect; ripens quite late; a good market sort, 
but if left to grow iu very wide rows, it does not bring its crop to perfection, as it sets 
more fruit tliaii any other sort we have grown.” We had such faith in it last sjxring 
that we planted several acres on our very best ground, and have a superior stock of 
planU fur sale this season.

RASPBERRIES. 
Following strawberries, or rather coming with the last picking of them, are the raspberries, 
red, black, yellow, and purple. Good crops may be grown on any soil, but the best is a deep, 
moi't loam. Open furrows with a light plow in rows five to eight feet apart, the distance depend¬ 
ing somewhat on the varieties to be planted and the system of culture to be followed. If grown 
in hills, plant six 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 off the 
tops; this will cause them to grow a strong, stocky budi, that will require no staking, and also 
have Its wood ripened, and therefore less likely to winter-kill. A partial shade is no ot.jection, 
larger fruit can be grown in this way, although it will not be as fine flavored as that grown in 
the sun. We offer only a few varieties, but, having tested almost every sort in cultivation, we 
know these to be the very best of their class. If to be sent by .mail, add 15 cents per dozen, to 
pay postage. ‘ 
RED VARIETIES. 
CUTHBERT.—After a thorough trial all over the country, this has proved to be 
and most reliable Red Raspberry in cultivation. Plant vigorous and hardy, even at the far north • 
very prolific; fruit very large; deep red color and delicious flavor; and firm enough to ship 
from our place to Boston, iiS miles, and arrive in condition to sell at thirty cents per quart 
at whol-sale. Should be planted by every one, whether they gr iw fruit for market or family use, 
as It IS the best in all respects of any we have. Season, medium to very late. Mwlboro for 
early, and Cuthbert for late, make "a spanking team” that covers the whole red raspberry season
