Idaho Red Raspberry 
the hardiest of all red raspberries 
we have ever tested, having with¬ 
stood 30 degrees below zero and 
I am quite sure they will stand 
40 degrees below, with no injury. 
With us, they rarely ever grow 
more than three and one half feet 
high and branch naturally like 
a tree, without pruning. They 
require very little attention in 
training and care, merely keep 
out the weeds and grasses and 
apply plenty of commerical fer¬ 
tilizer. The fruit is very large, 
some berries attaining over one 
inch in diameter. It has a deep 
rich red color, very attractive. 
The flavor is different from Cuth- 
bert, being original, spicy, agree¬ 
able. The berries are shaped 
more like black caps than red 
raspberries of the Cuthbert class. 
The plants are enormously pro¬ 
ductive, fruiting through the 
longest season of any red rasp¬ 
berry we have, beginning with 
Marlboro and lasting until after 
Loudon and Cuthbert are done. 
We have fruited it seven years 
and consider it the best red rasp¬ 
berry for home use and near-by 
markets that we have ever tested. 
The Idaho fruits from July to 
October on our grounds, and pro¬ 
duces more fruit out of the usual 
season than any other berry, not 
excepting the famous St. Regis.

Herbert "A chance seedling 
originating with R. B. Whyte, Ottawa, Can¬ 
ada, in 1887. A very strong grower, hardy 
and very productive. Fruit large to very 
large, obtusely conical, bright to rather 
deep red; drupes medium size, not crumb¬ 
ling; moderately firm; sweet and sub-acid, 
sprightly, juicy and of good flavor. Quality 
very good. Season begins a few days before 
Cuthbert. THE BEST RED RASPBERRY 
TESTED HERE. It has all the good points 
required in a berry for local market, being 
hardy, vigorous, productive with fruit of 
large size, good color and very good qual¬ 
ity.” — Prof, W. T. Macoun of Ottawa, Can¬ 
ada. The originator describes it as follows: 
“The Herbert is the best of thirty seedling 
Raspberries fruited during the last fourteen 
years, and after careful comparison with all 
the leading varieties, I can confidently say 
that it is very much superior to any of 
them. In hardiness, it easily takes first 
place, standing a lower temperature than 
any other kind. The cane is very strong 
and vigorous, slightly prickly, leaves large 
and healthy, and has never been affected 
by Anthracnose, or disease of any kina. 
Fruit bright red, somewhat oblong, the 
largest of all red Raspberries, larger than 
Cuthbert or Loudon. Flavor, very sweet 
and juicy, the very best for table use. Enor¬ 
mously productive, will bear twice the crop 
of either Cuthbert or Loudon, under the 
same conditions. Season, five to six days 
before Cuthbert. Holds its size well to end 
of season.”

St. Regis. This raspberry has attained 
great popularity from its behavior at Ham- 
monton, N. J., where it is said to produce 
good crops of fruit in the fall as well as in 
the summer. I have also received reports 
from other places that it fruits abundantly 
in the fall. It is being boomed by nursery¬ 
men everywhere, and many fruit growers 
are going “crazy” over it. With us, it is not 
to be compared in value with Idaho. I have 
seen it in several places and it showed no 
more fruit nor no larger fruit than I used 
to gather in the fence corners in the fall 
when a boy from the common wild red 
raspberries. A .practical nurseryman and 
fruit grower located in Eastern New York 
wrote me last fall that he could not gather 
two quarts from his fifty thousand plants. 
In the same letter he mentioned picking 
nearly a hundred quarts of strawberries from 
his small patch of fall bearing kinds. The 
berries of St. Regis are small compared with 
other kinds. This is true not only in the 
fall but in the summer. As a practical va¬ 
riety to grow for market or home use the 
St. Regis cannot compare in value with the 
Cuthbert. I am speaking, remember, of how 
it behaves in Oswego County, New York. 
We have the genuine plants from several 
different growers in Hammonton, N. J.

Marlboro. One of the best early varieties. 
Large, fine color, very firm and fine for mar¬ 
ket. 25 for 50c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. 
Parly King. Canes hardy and very similar 
to Cuthbert in growth. Berries large, bright 
red and fine for market. Ripens extremely 
early. 25 for 50c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00.
