RASPBERRIES—Red, Black, and Yellow. 
There arc two general types of Raspberries, and they require different treatment. Blackcaps, and others that increase 
from the ends of the canes, should be planted 3*4 x 7 feet. Prepare the land same as for Strawberries. Cultivate often enough 
to keep the soil loose and free from weeds. When the canes attain the height of one foot pinch off the ends ; this causes the canes 
to branch, grow stocky and self-supporting. In the spring of the bearing year cut these branches back to within six inches of 
the main stalk. After fruiting, cut out all the dead wood. Red Raspberries, and others that sucker, should be set 5 x 3*4 feet 
apart, when they must be cultivated both ways. Allow only three or four canes in each hill to grow, — treat all others that spring 
up as weeds. When three or four feet high, pinch back cane same as with Blackcaps. The secret of raising fine crops of Rasp¬ 
berries is in rigorous pruning and keeping suckers down. If not checked, the tendency is to mat the surface with canes, when 
very little fruit is secured. For garden culture the red varieties may be set three feet apart each way, and Caps 4x3 feet. 
COLUMBIAN RASPBERRY 
This variety is so well advertised and so 
popular as a berry for the home garden that it 
is known from Maine to California. One-half 
dozen strong plants will supply a family with 
fruit, as it grows from eight to twelve feet high, 
and in fruiting season its branches are covered 
with fine, large, crimson berries. Plants per¬ 
fectly hardy ; have endured 28° below zero 
without freezing. Is the best in the world for 
canning, and grown largely for evaporating, 
retaining its color, form, and flavor remark¬ 
ably. Each 10 cents ; dozen 60 cents ; hund¬ 
red $2.00 ; thousand $12.00. 
RASPBERRIES-RED 
Cuthbert. A valuable late variety for home 
use or marketing ; large, firm, and of supe¬ 
rior quality ; very productive. Dozen 
■ o cents ; hundred $1.50 ; thousand $9.00. 
London. This Raspberry has been tested in 
many localities, and practical fruitgrowers . 
agree that it is an advance beyond the best 
of the standard varieties. Hardier, better, 
and far more productive than Cuthbert, 
and the berries are larger and the drupes 
longer. Berries firm, bright red ; cling to 
the stem and do not crumble in picking ; 
splendid shipper. Plant vigorous, heavy yielder, and 
practically thornless. Dozen So cents; hundred $2.50. 
Marlboro. The largest of the early reds, ripening earlier 
than the Hansell. Similar to the Cuthbert, but is gone be¬ 
fore the Cuthbert comes on. Canes dwarfish, fruit very 
prolific in rich soil. Dozen 60 cents ; hundred $2.00. 
RASPBERRIES—BLACK 
Cumberland. A new black Baspberry, and a most remark¬ 
able one on account of its wonderful size and good quali¬ 
ties. It is thought to be a seedling from the Gregg, with a 
dash of Blackberry blood in it, but it is a true Raspberry ; 
very hardy, having withstood a temperature of 16 0 below 
zero ; very productive, making large crops of enormous 
berries about one inch in diameter. Fruit unusually firm 
and maybe shipped long distances; in ripening, season may 
be called a mid-season variety, coming in shortly ahead of 
the Gregg. Each 15 cents; dozen 80 cents ; hundred $3.00. 
Gregg. Very large, fine quality, productive, late, hardy. 
Dozen 50 cents ; hundred $1.50 ; thousand $9.00. 
Mills. This new variety is extremely large, perfectly hardy, 
free from blight or rust, large as the Cumberland,very firm, 
and with the bloom somewhat like the Gregg. It has been 
the most productive of all the Black Raspberries we have 
tried, ana brings the highest price of any in the market. 
Each 10 cents ; dozen 60 cents ; hundred $2.00. 
The Kansas. Early tips will grow f*-om the buds (that in 
other kinds remain dormant) two to four feet the same fall,

canes and branches and is much larger than the Gregg ; jet 
black, firm texture. Dozen 50 cents; hundred $1.50; 
thousand $9.00

drying. Strong, hardy, productive, late. Dozen 50 cents ;

better ; recommended for early bearing. Dozen 50 cents ;
