Herbert. (Red.) This is probably the hardiest and 
--- most beautiful red raspberry grown. It orig¬ 
inated at Ottawa, Canada, and has withstood without 
injury 40 degrees below zero. The cane of the Herbert is 
veiy strong and vigorous; the leaves large and healthy; it is 
claimed never to have been affected with anthracnose or 
diseases of any kind. Fruit oblong, very bright red, and 
probably the largest of all red raspberries except Syracuse. 
It is firm, sweet, subacid, juicy, and of good flavor, quality 
very good. Season begins a few days before Cuthbert. An 
exceptionally fine variety both for garden and commercial 
planting. 
New York State Experiment Station says: “It is twenty- 
five years since the Herbert red raspberry came to light and it 
has been grown more or less in New York for ten years, yet 
in this time -t has not attained the popularity it deserves. 
Herbert, as comparisons to be made later will show, is one 
of the best berries of its kind, yet many large berry growers 
have not tried it and few of the nurserymen list" it. The 
pre-eminent merits of Herbert are: Great vigor and hardi¬ 
ness, being rather hardier than the well-known Cuthbert; 
comparatively few suckers; and, most valuable of all, tre¬ 
mendous productivity, being nearly twice as productive as 
the old standard, Cuthbert. The season is about that of 
Cuthbert, but usually continues a few days longer.” Prices: 
$1.00 per 10, $3.00 per 100, $20.00 per 1000.

Planting the Raspberry 
Most failures with raspberries are due to the planting of 
the tip or germ too deep. This white tip or germ, which 
contains the vitality of the plant, is found at the juncture 
of the cane and the root, and should be put just below the 
level of the soil, point up, with a covering of half an 
inch only of loose soil over the top. If this tip or germ is 
buried deeply, your planting will be a failure, *
