Later we received a telegram from Mr. Garretson as follows: 
Silver Medal was awarded Eaton Raspberry at St. Louis World’s Fair. 
Muncie, Indiana, February 7, 1905. 
My Dear Friend:—I am prompted to write you by reading of the Eaton rasp¬ 
berry in Flansburgh’s late catalogue. From what I read there, and what I saw of it 
on my own place last summer, where unclutivated and almost unnoticed it had made 
a successful fight with a heavy bluegrass sod, I predict that it has come to stay, and 
will prove the most profitable red raspberry. 
GRANVILLE COWING. 
To whom it may concern: This is to testify I have watched the development 
of the Eaton raspberry, and was among the first to test its good qualities, and I can 
truly say as a disinterested party, that I consider it one fo the most promising berries 
of the kind ever placed before the public.

In regard to the Eaton red raspberry. For ourselves as dealers, and for our cus¬ 
tomers as well, to say that we are all much pleased with it. is putting it very mildly 
Indeed. Fine, large size and unsurpassed quality. Firm and do not break up as many 
do. The length of the season, too, is in its favor, six to eight weeks. As we have sold 
them to our trade for the past six years, and have our customers ask for them, and 
wait for them, it certainly shows how much a favorite they are with all. Wishing 
you success, which the Eaton most certainly deserves, we are, 
Yours respectfully, ROGERS & SON CO.

Friend Garretson:—I cheerfully add a testimonial to the many you have received 
for your famous Eaton red raspberry. We consider it decidedly the best red raspebrry 
In the market. It is large size, excellent quality, and has no musty flavor, as with the 
Cuthbert. It is a little tart which gives it a delicious flavor when sugar is added. It 
Is a most excellent variety for canning, and a point greatly in its favor is that it is 
on the market from six to eight weeks. Very truly, 
W. F. MORRIS.

The Eaton red raspberry as we have known them for the past three years are far 
superior to all other red raspberries in their richness of flavor, size and color, and being 
solid, are much safer to handle than other varieties. They begin to ripen early; and 
last until all other varieties are gone. We have found them in all respects the most 
satisfactory and most profitable berries to handle. 
Respectfully, MASTERS & SHACKLEFORD. 
Anderson, Indinaa, 1905. 
We have ^handled the famous Eaton red raspberries now four years. There is 
nothing oetter, being very large, solid and good keepers. Season lasting about six 
weeks. Can gladly recommend them to any one wanting fine fruit. 
Yours, etc., BROWN & PETTIT. 
Mitchell, Indiana, September 13, 1905. 
Dear Friend Garretson:—Your Eaton raspberry has done well. We planted them 
In a good place and let them fruit at will, and they kept it up till the 10th of 
August. Of course they could not bear enough for company, being set last spring. 
Their great merit with us is their lively flavor. They have not produced many sprouts, 
but the old canes have grown vigorously. With kind regards. 
Yours truly, JOE A. BURTON, 
Supt. Burton Fruit Co. 
Franklin. Indiana, September 9, 1905. 
Friend Garrettson:—In regard to Eaton raspberry. I want to say I believe it 
stands at the head of the list of the ‘ reds.’' We had a few berries on the five plants 
we set, and they were not only most excellent in flavor, but were large and showy, 
hanging well to the stem; and above all, I term it an everbearing raspberry. The 
fruit was setting and ripening up from early to late. I am satisfied It will keep up 
a supply of berries for a very long season. Other sorts have so short a season that It 
keeps one hustling to get satisfaction. I believe the Eaton, "when its good qualities 
are better known by the public generally." will take the lead above all the reds. I 
shall sot some more In the spring. Very truly, W. S. YOUNG.
