INDIAN SUMMER (Everbearing Red). 
Decidedly superior to any other everbearing Red 
Raspberry. The berries are exceptionally large, 
dark red and of unsurpassed quality. Plants 
produce a heavy summer crop that ripens with the 
standard varieties of Red Raspberries. The au¬ 
tumn crop starts in early September and con¬ 
tinues until severe frost. Plants very hardy, 
vigorous, of medium height and bear heavy crops. 
An exceptionally fine berry and a money-maker. 
SODUS (Purple). This is one of the finest ber¬ 
ries ever offered. It is a cross between a black 
raspberry and red raspberry, and possesses all 
the qualities of each. The berries are of large 
size ; purple in color ; seeds small and deeply im¬ 
bedded in a rich, juicy pulp. They do not crum¬ 
ble when picked, are good shippers and good 
keepers, and are better for canning than either 
red or black raspberries. The habit of growth is 
like that of the black raspberry, so does not 
sucker or spread from the root. The canes are 
model growers; vigorous and healthy. Enormous¬ 
ly productive, and is unexcelled in flavor either 
fresh, canned, or in pies. 
ELDORADO. We recommend this variety ahead of all 
others. Berries large in size, very sweet, and of delicious 
flavor and quality. One of the hardiest blackberries in 
cultivation; has never been known to winterkill. Very pro¬ 
ductive and never fails to ripen a crop. 
CUMBERLAND (Black). The largest and most productive 
black raspberry. Ripens medium-early and continues throughout 
the raspberry season. Very hardy, and the most profitable mar¬ 
ket sort. 
GOLDEN QUEEN (Yellow). A beautiful, large, golden yel¬ 
low raspberry. Many prefer this variety to any of the red or 
black sorts, owing to its sugary sweetness and unsurpassed flavor. 
Should be in every garden, its beauty and high quality placing 
it at the head for table use. The canes are hardy, of strongest 
growth and very productive. 
LATHAM (Red). Conceded to be the best main-crop red 
raspberry. It has more points of merit and has come into gen¬ 
eral planting more rapidly than any other raspberry ever in¬ 
troduced. It is vigorous in growth; withstands the 
winters in Canada without covering; and excep¬ 
tionally free from mosaic and other diseases. The 
large berries, some running over an inch in diam¬ 
eter, and the deep red color make it most attractive, 
and It is the most productive variety grown. Grow¬ 
ers are beginning to realize that no other red rasp¬ 
berry will make them so much money so surely and 
quickly as the Latham. The leading commercial 
variety throughout the country. 
DEWBERRY 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money. They 
ripen a week or ten days ahead of common blackberries, 
the bulk of the crop being harvested before other black¬ 
berries start to ripen. 
The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, and 
the Lucretia is the best of them all. The large berries 
are incomparably better than any blackberry grown; 
of unequaled excellence; sweet and luscious throughout, 
and of bright glossy black color. They are very pro¬ 
ductive, and the most profitable of all fruit crops to 
grow. The Lucretia has received the highest endorse¬ 
ment and highest praise from the best horticulturists in 
the country. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to 
winterkill. Lucretia may be propagated from the tips, 
like black raspberries. It does not spread or sucker.
