ingly productive of fine, large, late good flavored fruit, which holds its size to the end of the season. The berries are dark crimson in color and quite firm. Per dozen, 30 cents; per hundred, $1.00; per i,coo $8.00. Highland Hardy.—The earliest good hardy raspberry in cultivation, ripening a few days in advance of the Marlboro, and coming into market when the most of our strawberries are gone. It always commands a high price, and is quite as profitable as any raspberry we know of. The canes are hardy, but not as large as Marlboro, and are productive of medium-sized fruit, of fair quality, and a splendid berry to ship to a distant market. Per dozen, 30 cents ; per 100, ft.00 ; per 1,000, $8.00. Thompson's Early Prolific.—This new raspberry combines extreme earliness, hardiness, vigorous growth and productiveness with beautiful color, firmness and fine quality to a remarkable degree. It commences to ripen toward the close of the strawberry season and gives good picking from the first. Those who desire an early red raspberry can safely give this a trial. Price per doz., 30c; 100, Si.00; 1,000. $8.00. Other Red Varieties we have for sale are Brandywine, Turner and the Hudson River Antwerp. Prices for any of the above varieties per dozen, 30 cents ; per 100, $1.00. Golden Queen.—A yellow raspberry of the finest flavor, equally as good in "this respect as Brinckle's Orange, which for years was considered the standard of ex- cellence. When you have a raspberry as good as the one mentioned in flavor, pos- sessing so many good features that were lacking in the Brinckle's, you have indeed a valuable acquisition to the raspberry fam- ily. The Queen is larger than Brinckle's, firmer, of a much better color ; the canes are larger, more productive, and the best of all they are hardy, the lack of hardiness having made Brinckle's Orange an unpopu- lar fruit. The Golden Queen is valuable as a market berry, for it will command an extravagant price; while no first-class home fruit garden is complete without a good bed of it. It is without doubt one of the finest- flavored fruits I have ever tasted, and this voices the opinion of many who tasted the berry on my place. It is a splendid berry, and no grower who wishes to be up with the times can afford to be without it. Price per dozen, 50 cents; per 100, $1.50; per 1,000, Sto.oo. Caroline.—The leading pink variety and one that is being planted very largely
