List of the Most Desirable Raspberry Varieties 
RED RASPBERRIES 
_ Chief, Plants very vigorous, Ber- 
ries medium size, firm good flavor and 
ripen very early. Price for 1 yr. plants, 
10, 40c; 25, 75c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 
2 yr. old transplants, 10, 85c; 25, $1.50; 
100, $4.50; 1000, $38.00. 
Latham, Plants vigorous and very 
productive. Berries very large, firm, 
of fine color and appearance, but lack- 
ing the finest flavor. It outsells all 
others in the markets and on account 
of this, is preferred by commercial 
growers. Price same as Chief. 
Cuthbert, Plants vigorous and pro- 
ductive and on new land and in favor- 
able conditions, where it is not affected 
by mosaic, it is the best raspberry for 
home use and appreciative market. The 
berries are large, dark red and so de- 
licious they melt in your mouth. Our 
plants are free of disease. Price same 
as Chief. 
Newburgh, Plants sturdy and good 
growers but must have rich soil and 
plenty of moisture. Berries, the larg- 
est, firm and bring highest prices. Only 
ordinary fiavor. Price same as Chief. 
St. Regis, Plants stocky and 
healthy. Productive of medium sized 
berries that ripen very early in July 
and again in October and November, 
when they bring a good price in the 
market. Price same as Chief. 
Herbert, Hardy, very productive, 
medium size. Price same as Chief. 
Viking, Plants very vigorous, pro- 
ductive and hardy. Berries large, fine 
color and sell well in market. Next to 
Cuthbert, this is the finest flavored of 
all red raspberries and we advise it for 
home use and markets where quality is 
appreciated. 10, 50c; 25, $1.00; 100, 
$3.50; 1000, $30.00. 2 yr., 10, 85c; 25, 
$1.50; 100, $5.00; 1000, $45.00. 
Taylor, (new) Plants good growers 
and very productive. Berries very 
large, the largest of any red raspberry 
we know. Attracts the greatest atten- 
tion and sells for the highest prices, 
but rather disappointing in flavor, be- 
ing the sourest red raspberry we have 
ever tasted, but most people buy and 
eat with the eyes. Price same.as Vik- 
ing. ; 
Marcy, (new) Much like Taylor, 
some say not quite so hardy but fully as sour, 
and more productive. Even larger than Tay- 
lor. Price same as Viking. ; 
Indian Summer, (new) We are delighted 
with this variety. The plants are good strong 
growers and very productive. They bear a 
good crop in July 
early November. 
as large as Taylor or Marcy and of good 
flavor, very dark, and sell well in market. 
The past fall, we marketed them freely in 
Pulaski, until October 18th, when we had a 
hard freeze. When the weather is favorable, 
they last well into November. Its only fault 
with us, is, that the berries of the July crop 
shrink or collapse after standing a while. 
It is the earliest red raspberry we know and 
the most profitable for market for us. Price 
same as Viking. 
Golden Queen, Sweetest of all rasp- 
berries. Fine for home use. An albino of 
Cuthbert. Price same as Viking. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Plum Farmer, More largely grown in the 
East than any other variety. Plants bluish 
gray in appearance and very vigorous, hardy 
and productive of large fruit. Berries gray- 
ish black, sweet and delicious. 
transplants, 10, 75c; 25, $1.50; 100, $5.00; 
1000, $45.00. . 
- Cumberland, Strong growing plants, 
reddish in color, very productive of the 
largest berries. Fruit very large, very fine 
flavor, the best of the pure jet black variet- 
ies. Universally grown, especially in the 
West. Price same as Plum Farmer.

Columbian is a failure. Berries darker than

‘out crumbling. 10, $1.00; 25, $2.00; 100, $6.00; 
1000, $45.00; 2 yr., 10, $1.25; 25, $2.50; 100,

Sodus, (new) Very similar to Columbian 
in cane and fruit, except about 50% larger. 
Enormously productive of the largest ber- 
ries we have ever seen, but rather sour. Will 
out class Columbian in market, but not for 
home use. Price same as Royal Purple.

cocas, Pioneer, Concord, Rubel and 
Jersey. Price, 2 yr. size, 2 for $1.50; 6

Boysonberry, like most other var- 
ieties of berries from California, is a 
complete failure with us, too tender for our 
climate; too prickly to gather the fruit. It is 
a pity that so many have wasted their money 
on this worthless thing. We know all about 
Ripens with 
it and have never offered it to our customers. : 
- I GOT IT OF BTR rare wig 
As one goes through the gardens and 
plantings of people who love flowers, plants, 
vines, shrubs, trees, etc., we often hear some 
one say, “Where did you get that beautiful 
thing?” The answer, very frequently, in 
some places, almost invariably is, “I got it of 
L. J. Farmer.” This is one of the most satisfy- 
ing things about the nursery business, the 
fact that we handle things that make for 
beauty and so much pleasure everywhere. 
Very few nurserymen ever got very rich in 
earthly goods, the opportunities they have 
to show their generosity and public spirit are 
so many, that it takes away whatever small 
profits their business may show at the end of 
each year, but then, we cannot take material 
things with us when we go and what is the 
use?
