Red Raspberries. Loudon, For many years past we have headed the list with Cuthbert.

It appears to combine the earli- ness, hardiness, beauty and sweetness of the one with the geat vigor, size and productiveness of the other. What more can we say, except that we have tested it at points a thousand miles apart, and confidently recommend it to our patrons who are looking for a berry earlier, brighter and better than the Cuthbert ! 50 cts. each, 6 for $, $5 per doz.
