Raspberries*. The Haymaker is a purple cap, not so dark as Columbian or 3han>r, and much larger and firmer than either of those varieties, never crumbles and stands up well in shipping. Sample crates have been shipped to distant points with entire satisfaction. Iois a berry to grow for either home use or market The originator has found it the most profitable berry ever raised for market and has never yet been able to supply the local demand. So much of a favorite has the Haymaker become that local growers have said that it has ruined the sale of other varieties. I wish to emphasize here its popularity as a canning berry. Many orders for berries for this purpose are placed a year in advance. One writer located near a canning factory has thus written to me—"If any one about here had several acres of it in bearing he could dispose of the entire crop to good advantage to the canning ; The Haymaker has demonstrated its great merit in time of drought. The season just passed was exceptionally dry in this locality. The Haymaker bore an immense crop of fine quality, while other varieties here furnished but half a crop, or were an entire failure. I believe those will be fortunate who get a start at the first opportunity. —Description of Mr. Haymaker, The Haymaker certainly has four points of superiority, viz: Vigorous growth, hardiness, productiveness and quality.
