In Conrath we have united earliness, vigor, hardiness, large size and produc- tiveness ; qualiti 3s that will give it a foremost rank. It resembles Gregg in many ways, being prob- ably a seedling of that variety, and the fruit retains its large size to the last picking. The canes are of ironclad hardiness, very prolific and make a good healthy growth. It is one of the best of the verv early black-cap sorts, equaling Souhegan in all points, with the Gregg type of berry, being large, firm, sweet and good -free from the woolly appearance of Gregg. The fruit always leaves the stem easily, and may be gathered without crushing or breaking. Wherever it has been grown it has given great satisfaction, and we can recommend it as exceedingly valuable. Our attention has been repeatedly called to this new black raspberry. "We have sent out inquiries to various parts of the country to learn how it has succeeded, and the reports without exception have been unanimously favorable. The peculiarities of this variety are, 1st, its earliness of ripening; 2nd, remarkable hardiness, enduring the severest winters; 3rd, firmness; 4th, superior quality; 5th, remarkable vigor and oroductiveness. Mr. Morrill, president of the Michigan State Horticultural Society, has planted the Conrath largely for market purposes. Price, 35c. per 12, $ per 100, $ per 1,000. The Nemaha Black Raspberry has excelled all other late varieties. It is being planted largely. The quality is far better than the Gregg. It is hardier than Gregg. One remarkable feat- ure and well worth mentioning is that for the past four or five sea- sons, while all other varieties were more or less injured by the dread disease Anthracnose, the Nemaha was not affected and bore full crops
