THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
tent ion of a veteran nurseryman was called to it who had 
it out. and claimed that the original plant bore thirteen 
successive crops, never missing a season, though during 
some winters the mercury recorded 35 degrees below 
zero.” 
I have fruited it for the past two seasons and found it 
to amply meet the claims made for it. It begins ripen¬ 
ing berries about the same time as the Columbian, but 
continues to produce berries for a much longer period. 
Also, unlike all other purple raspberries is the fact that 
the berries are more inclined to be in clusters, though 
each berry is borne independent on a separate stem, in 
other words, the laterals are thickly covered with fruit 
stems, each stem bearing a berry, these stems become 
more abundant as the end of the lateral is approached. 
It is easy to imagine how a hill of these plants bearing 
a full crop, would appeal to the grower. I predict that 
it will soon be offered by a majority of the nurserymen, 
and become the most extensively grown of all purple 
varieties now on the market. "Color plate circulars

ns A word to the wise is to get in on the 
ground floor, for the Royal Purple raspberry is a w in¬ 
ner.
