RASPBERRIES. The Raspberry should be planted in good, rich soil, in rows five feet apart, and three feet apart in the rows. As soon as they have done bearing, cut out the old wood to give more vigor to the young canes. Price, unless noted, doz., 50c; 100, $ Cuthbert, or Queen of the Market. A remarkably strong, hardy variety, stands the Northern winters and Southern summers equal to any. Berries very large, measuring three inches around; conical, rich crimson; very handsome, and so firm that they can be shipped hundreds of miles by rail in good condition; flavor is sweet, rich and luscious. The leading market variety. Doolittle. An old variety, by some considered out of date. It is an early blackcap which will yield more fruit to the acre than any other variety. Golden Queen. In size equal to Cuthbert; immensely productive; a very strong grower. The desire for a yellow raspberry of high quality, combined with vigorous growth and perfect hardiness, is fully met in this variety. Gregg. The leading Black Cap and a popular market sort. Canes strong, vigorous growth and very produc- tive; berries very large, covered with heavy bloom, firm, meaty and of fine flavor. It requires good, strong soil to produce best results, and responds liberally to generous treatment. Royal Church. Very productive; over 150 berries have been counted on a single stem; 100 berries weigh 11 ounces; has but few seeds; produces no small berries. Exceedingly delicious, aromatic, and sprightly; excellent for table, canning, jellies, etc. Canes are large, vigorous grower, thorns few and small; perfectly hardy wherever it has been tested. Earlier than Cuthbert, continues longer in bearing. A fine variety for the home garden. 10c. each; doz., $; 100, $ Japanese Raspberry (Wineberry). Berry round;
