have to sell are grown on dry gravel and 
are entirely free from diseases. We know 
that they will grow and do better than 
plants from heavier soils. We believe that 
they are worth double the ordinary black 
cap plants to plant on most soils.

Dark Red or Purple Varieties 
Columbian. This variety was originated 
by Joseph T. Thompson, of Oneida, New 
York, years ago. It has been told that Mr. 
Thompson made $30,000 from the sale of 
the plants, and I know that every nursery¬ 
man or fruit grower who has ever handled it 
has done well with it. I procured a few 
plants when it was first introduced and have 
had it growing ever since. It is one of the 
most valuable berries ever sent out and I 
consider it the most practical raspberry for 
the average farmer to grow that I know of. 
The canes do not incumber the ground like 
Cuthbert, it is much easier to grow and with 
ordinary care will yield five times as much 
fruit. When properly canned they taste 
nearly as good as the Cuthbert. The canes 
are prodigious growers, sometimes attaining 
a diameter of over one inch. They will 
sometimes winter kill when they make such 
a great growth, but even if they do, new 
canes will start from the roots and bear a 
good crop of fruit, so you can hardly miss 
a crop of fruit even if the canes do winter 
kill. But they will not winter kill in any 
ordinary season. The yield of fruit is simply 
enormous. The berries are very large and 
of unusually fine flavor for a purple rasp¬ 
berry. It now sells in the Syracuse markets 
for as much or more per quart than black 
caps and is much more productive. We have 
an extra large fine crop of plants for sale.

Royal Purple. The Royal Purple Rasp¬ 
berry has all the desirable qualities of the 
Columbian and more. It continues in fruit 
for at least two weeks after Columbian is 
done, the canes are entirely hardy and the 
fruit is firmer than the Columbian, so firm 
that they can be shipped long distances safely
