The Raspberry is one of the early garden fruits, and 
of the most easy culture, It may be found growing in 
a wild state most anywhere along the edge of a grove 
or thicket, or along the hedges and fences. Being a 
native, it produces bountifully under cultivation. And 
the fruit finds a ready sale inthe markets at nearly 
double the price of any other fresh berries. 
CUMBERLAND |PLUM FARMER--After growing and 
testing a large ‘number of Blackcap Raspberries dur- 
ing the past year, we find that this variety is far a- 
head of any in its class. The fruit is black and large, 
with arich flavor, and the canes are exceptionally 
free from disease, and is a vigorous grower. The 
crop is all ripened within afew days, making ita 
valuable market sort. We are now growing only this 
variety of Blackcap, Two-year transplants, bearing 
age. Price per 100, $10.00 
LATHAM--After growing this variety, we find it to be 
the largest and finest red berry we have ever had on 
our grounds. It originated at the Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm, and is now recognized as the best of 
all the reds, It wasfirst sent out as Minnesota No. 4. 
It is of extraordinary large size, bright red color and 
excellent flavor, and the fruiting season lasts over 
six weeks. While most of the red raspberries are in- 
clined to winter-kill at times, this variety has proven . 
extremely hardy inthe far north. The large size, 
fine flavor and hardiness puts it ahead of any kind yet 
introduced. The canes are very strong and sturdy 
and stand up well. Price per 100, $12.50

berries and follow them closely in time of ripening.

culture. The growing of this very delicious and 
healthful fruit is attended with so little trouble and 
expense that no garden should be without at least a 
small planting. “

your hands. Price per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00. 
CURRANTS 
Many people are prevented from growing either 
Gooseberries or Currants on account of the currant- 
worm thateats the foliage andprevents the fruit from 
maturing. These pests are the easiest controlled of 
any of the insects that feed on the foliage of plants and 
trees. The worms go into the chrysalis state in the 
ground under the bushes and the eggs are laid on the 
leaves near the base on the inside of the bush. The 
small worms commence tofeed as soon as the leaves 
are developed. During their early existence they are 
not noticed, but ina few days of warm weather they 
spread all over the bush and then seem to eat up every 
leaf ina day. The remedy is to sprinkle the bush 
with water to which a little Paris-green has been 
added--just enough to give it a sea-green color--as 
soon as the leaves are fully grown, and repeat the 
dose in a week or ten days, to make sure of the worms.
