RED VARIETIES 
CARDINAL. —This variety, the Columbian and Haymaker 
are very much alike. It is a giant Raspberry both in size 
of fruit and canes—the canes on good soil attaining a 
height of ten feet and are literally covered with large, 
handsome berries. The canes are very hardy and root at 
the tips like the black cap varieties. Berries sweet, juicy, 
luscious, rich and sprightly, with true Raspberry flavor, 
and firm. The color is dull crimson or purplish red, not 
so attractive as some of the other red varieties, but the 
berries are so large and fine in quality and the canes 
so hardy and prolific, it has much value, especially for 
planting at the South and Southwest where it succeeds 
perfectly and but few other red Raspberries do. One of 
the best varieties for canning and making jelly and jam. 
Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 
CUTHBERT.—An old and well-tried variety, introduced 
by me in 1878. Berries of large size, deep crimson, mod¬ 
erately firm and high 
quality; being rich 
and sprightly. Canes 
of strong growth with 
large healthy foliage 
but not entirely hardy 
of late years, at the 
far north in winters 
of unusual severity. 
Ripens in midseason 
until late and suc- 
c e e d s everywhere; 
even at the south. 
Rapidly being super¬ 
seded by St. Regis, 
King, etc. Doz., 35c; 
100, $1.50; 1000, 
$ 10 . 00 . 
GOLDEN QUEEN.—Though not red, I class this with 
them, as it is of the same habit and requires the same 
culture. A sport of the Cuthbert and similar to it in all 
respects except color, which is a clear translucent amber. 
Of luscious quality and a valuable variety for the home 
garden. Introduced by the Monmouth Nursery in 1885. 
Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. 
HERBERT.—A Canadian variety known as the “3 in 1 
Raspberry,” Prof. W. T. Macoun, oi Ottawa, Can., 
describes it as follows: “A very strong grower, hardy 
and very productive. Fruit large to very large, obtusely 
conical, bright to rather dark red; drupes medium size, 
not crumbling; moderately firm; 9weet 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 re¬ 
quired in a berry for local market, being hardy, vigor¬ 
ous, productive, with fruit of large size, good color and 
very good quality.” The introducers claim it to be the 
“hardiest of all red Raspberries and heaviest yielder of 
all. Bias yielded 205 bushels per acre.” Doz., 75c; 
100, $4.00; 1000, $30.00. 
KING. —The leading ^red Raspberry. It unites earliness, 
large size, bright color, firmness of flesh and good quality 
with productiveness, vigorous growth and hardiness of 
cane. It is exceedingly bright and lively in color, so 
firm as to ship long distances without injury, and stand* 
pre-eminent for endurance of cold in winter and the heat 
and drought of summer. It drops quickly when ripe—a 
feature disliked by some, but regarded as a desirable one 
by other growers. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 10-00, $10.00. 
RUBY.—A very early, bright red Raspberry, producing 
great crops of extra large, exceedingly firm and showy 
berries, and possessing, as well, canes of strong, vigor¬ 
ous growth and ironclad hardiness. 
The originator of it says: “This berry is certainly a 
great acquisition. In comparison with King it will pro¬ 
duce double the quantity of fruit, is firmer, larger and 
better in flavor. Ripens with, or in advance of the King.'* 
A grand variety in the Hudson River valley and in 
many other sections in the northern and eastern States. 
With me it has not been entirely successful, and I have 
received similar reports from points in the southern part 
of the State and southward. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, 
$ 12 . 00 . 
■\VINEBERRY. (Japanese Raspberry ).—Decidedly unique 
and valuable as an ornamental plant as well as for its 
beautiful fruit. It is a strong, rampant grower, the 
canes being thickly covered with purplish-red hairs. 
Berries are of medium size, the color ot sherry wine, 
sparkling, with a brisk, pleasant, sub-acid flavor. Canes 
of strong growth, as hardy as an oak, and yield enor¬ 
mously for a long season. Excellent as a dessert fruit, 
but especially valuable for canning and for making a 
delicious wine. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50.
