Nursery stock Ohio New Carlisle Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Nursery stock; Fruit; Fruit trees. money, ion. We quott novelty. We dc it is well worth the rorthy of each fruit collect- This interest a raspberry family, and is a large, robust grower, perfectly hardy and enormously prolific; the canes are thickly covered with purplish red hairs, which extend along the stem to its extremity. The leaves are large tough, dark green above, and silvery gray beneath. The fruit is borne in large clusters, and each berry is at first tightly enveloped by the large calyx, forming a sort of burr, which is also covered with purplish red hairs so thickly as to present the appearance of moss rose buds. These gradually open and turn back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. The berries are of a beautiful, translucent appearance, running through all the shades of amber to crimson as they ripen. There is a freshness and brill- iancy about them impossible to describe, and we know of nothing in the way of raspberries so attractive. A bush in full fruiting is a sight not readily to be for- gotten and a decided ornament to the garden. In quality it is quite distinct, but a decided brisk sub-acid. When cooked it is grand, retaining its rich and sprightly flavor, and surpassing when canned or or preserved even the Huckleberry. For jelly making it is without an equal. It begins ripening in July, the berries are produced in great abundance, and it con- tinues in bearing for a long time. 75c per doz; | per Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Scarff, W.
