V2 C. L. WATROUS' DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. RASPBERRIES. To keep a raspberiT plantation in good condition, .cut out the old wood every spring and shorten back bearing canes. A good mulching of manure in fall, worked in in the spring, will bring back great returns. To prevent winter killing, bend down canes in autumn and cover with earth or litter; keep out all suckers with plow and hoe. A heav}' mulching at fruiting time, to keep the soil cool, adds greatly to the size and flavor of the fruit. Class IâUpright Canes. TURNERâAlmost thornless, vigorous, productive, hardy, excellent, long in bearing, red. CUTHBERTâVery large and handsome, quality good, and ripens a little late and con- tiues a long time in fruit; hardy and productive. MARLBOROâStrong, upright, canes very hardy, an abundant bearer of large, bright crimson fruit of good quality, line for market. Class IIâDroopinp- or Bow Canes.

TYLERâNew; said to be quite as early and fine as the last and on some soils even more productive. N^HAFFER'S COLOSSALâFruit large, purple, soft, with a sprightly sub-acid . flavor, very hardy, abundant bearer, highly approved for market. â PALMERâAmong the earliest, an abundant bearer, sweet, and good for ^ family, and valuable for market. OLDERâOriginated in Iowa ten years ago and has stood all our severest
