To All Who Love Choice Fruit:
Iv 1s witn PLEASURE that I enter upon another year’s work, by again visiting my friends and patrons through my modest little Annual Catalogue, Iam very grateful for the liberal patronage extended me during the last season, and feel encouraged to go on in the same conservative line of not overpraising new things simple because they are new, but only as they prove themselves meritorious in the actual field of experience. I hope by fair dealing to merit the continued patronage of former friends, and invite a trial order from all whose names have not yet been enrolled on my order books.
Respectfully yours,
January 20, 1896. E. M. BUECHLY, Greenville, Ohio.
ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
1. ORDER EARLY. It is advisable, in order to secure first-class stock of leading varieties, and to avoid the rush later in the season.
2. WRITE YOUR ORDERS PLAINLY, on a separate sheet of paper, or better, on enclosed order sheet: state varieties and number of each wanted, giving Mame, Post Office, County and State; also, Express or Freight Office, stating by which mode you wish goods sent.
3. TO SECURE PROMPT ATTENTION, all orders from unknown parties shculd be accompanied by cash.
4. TREES WILL BE SECURELY PACKED and delivered at the proper place in Greenville for shipment, free of charge, after which our responsibility ceases.
5. IF SELECTION IS LEFT TO US, we will select according to our best judgment and long experience, and in the majority of cases this will be the better way, unless the purchaser has an extended experience.
6. SHOULD ANY MISTAKE OCCUR on our part, immediate notice should be given, so that it can be rectified.
7. THE GREATEST CARE WILL BE EXERCISED that all fruit shall be labeled ¢vwe to name, but should a mistake occur, in nocase do we hold ourselves liable for more than the cost of the purchase, or to replace the proper goods free of charge.
8. PRICES on 5, 50 and 500 lots of plants, trees, etc., at rats of 10, I00, 1,000, etc.
J&=TRANSPLANTING, etc. Select thrifty young trees in preference to old or very large ones ; the roots are more tender and fibrous, and bear transplanting tar better than older ones, and are more apt to live. They can also be more easily pruned to any desired form, and in a few years will usually outstrip the older ones in growth. The largest and most successful plarters invariably select young and thrifty trees.
THE SOIL. A rich loam, made sufficiently dry by artificial draining, if necessary, is best for fruit, but other soils may generally be made available by judicious treatment.
PLANTING. Dig the holes for trees deep enough that the roots may be placed in a natural position, keeping the surface and subsoil separate. Shorten the tops in propor- tion to the amount of loss the roots have sustained in digging. Fill up the holes care- fully with fine surface soil (no manure), so that the tree wiil stand about as deep as it did in the nursery. In filling up, carefully work the soil among the roots, packing it firmly below, but the upper portion of the filling should be put in more loosely, so as to be porous.
MULCHING. Over all this should be spread a coating (at least four to five feet in diameter) of coarse manure, straw or any good mulch to protect the trees froma drouth. This is an important factor, and should not be omitted in any case, unless the ground is kept well cultivated around the trees for a space of like diameter. To a neglect of this point can be attributed many of the losses of the planter
J&=NUMBER OF TREES AND PLANTS ON AN ACRE AT VARIOUS DISTANCES. To find the number of plants per acre, multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows ; this product will be the number of square feet for each plant. An acre will, therefore, contain as many plants or trees as this pro- duct is contained times into 43,560, the number of square feet in an acre.
New Fruits of Special [lerit.
THE GREENVILLE STRAWBERRY.
This fine berry has fully maintained its former enviable reputation as one of the very best for both home and market use. The berries are large, of good quality and medium texture ; season medium to late; color very even and fine; flowers pistillate; plants very vigorous, and FREE FROM RUST; very productive.
As Greenville is now an acknowledged success, and one of the standard varieties, I deem it unnecessary to devote so much space to testimonials concerning it as in former catalogues, but append a few extracts from letters on hand, showing
WHAT OTHERS SAY OF GREENVILLE.
Greenville shows the cleanest and finest appearing plants in my patch of over fifty varieties.—E. J. Hutt, Olyphant, Penn.
Greenville is one among a hundred that will take and hold rank among thestandards. I set out only too plants of it this spring—am very sorry now that I did not set out more, but I make it a rule to plant but very sparingly of any new thing until I know what it is. Out of 40 varieties I gave it first place for productiveness. For hardiness, shape and color it is all that could be desired, and in quality and aroma it is simply delicious.— E. J. ScoFIELD, Hanover, Wis.
Plants vigorous, very healthy ; crop fine; size medium to large; quality fair, very promising.—ARTHUR BryanT, Princeton, Ill., Experiment Station.
THE GREENVILLE STRAWBERRY. 3
GOOD WORDS FOR GREENVILLE.
The Greenville Strawberry pleased me well. It was large, good color, good grower ; berries held out well in size.—J. S. Browne, Experiment Station, Alton, Ill.
The Greenville has done splendidly this season. Am much pleased withic. It holds out well to the last.—C. W. Prescott, Experiment Station, Marengo, III.
The plants arrived in good condition. If all parties would send out such plants there would be less cause for complaint.—E. C. BRINSER.
This is the first year we are able to make a full report upon the Greenville Straw- berry. It was planted both in hill and matted-row system. Our pickers were delighted with Greenville, and on our record sheet it stands above all other varieties for yield. In matted row it gave nearly twice the yield of Crescent, and is 25 per cent. better than the second on the list—Shuster’s Gem. Icanonly repeat the good report formerly made upon the flavor and quality of this berry, and in my experience of three years with it I make no exception in recommending it as THE BEST STRAWBERRY for either MARKET OR HOME USE.—GEO. C. Butz, Horticulturist Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station.
Greenville proved to be very productive this season, and I was agreeably surprised to find the fruit to be of the very best quality. I consider it, therefore, not only a great market berry, but also the best for home use. —W. W. Farnsworth, Secretary Ohio State Horticultural Society.
Good Reports Confirmed.
This season's trial confirms the good reports made last year. The plants are healthy, and productive, and the variety a valuable one to grow for home market.—MIcCHIGAN AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION, July 14, 1894.
Beyond All Expectations.
The ‘‘Greenville’’ went beyond all expectations, as many who visited my plantation can testify. I shall plant it largely next season.—H. H. AULTFATHER, Minerva, Ohio.
Recommended by High Authority. ILLINOIS STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY, OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT, CoBDEN, ILLINOIS, /une 2, 1894. ‘‘T think well of the Greenville Strawberry, both asa grower and a cropper. The Fruit is of good size and color. I recommend it to planters. Very truly, T. E. Goopricu.
At Home on Iowa Soil.
The ‘‘ Greenville ’’ seems to be at home on our soil. We find it a bearer of large, fine-flavored fruit. We shall plant largely of it.—GarDNER & Son, Osage, Iowa.
A Good Shipper. We received the ‘‘ Greenville” berries via expresss, and they came through in fine order. We kept them several days after arriving, and pronounce them excellent ship- pers.—E. Smitu & Sons, Geneva, New York.
One of the Most Productive Varieties.
The ‘‘ Greenville” Strawberry has given excellent satisfaction this season. The plants made a vigorous growth and the foliage has been very healthy throughout the sea- son. Fruit ree and held its size well to the last. It was one of the most productive varieties. —M. H. Beckxwitu, Horticulturist, Newark, Delaware.
Better Pleased Than Ever. Weare better pleased than ever with ‘‘Greenville’’ for home use or near market. It is not quite so firm as we had thought, but for size, appearance and productiveness it rather exceeds our expectations. We put it at the head of the list for above purposes. — W. J. GreeEN, Horticulturist, Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station.
Still Among the Best. The ‘‘ Greenville’ Strawberry was still among our best varieties again this season. — J. Troop, Horticulturist, Indiana Experiment Station, Lafayette, Indiana.
I think the foregoing testimonials from our highest authorities, where the parties are entirely disinterested, should be enough to convince the most skeptical that the Green- ville is a berry that deserves to be planted largely. My supply of plants will be limited, owing to the extremely dry summer, and I would advise the placing of early orders to make sure of securing some plants of this valuable berry.

THE ELDORADO BLACKBERRY.
HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION.—This Blackberry, like many of our very best and most popular fruits, originated asan accidental seedling in Preble county, Ohio, near a village of that name, and was first found and placed under cultivation about 12 years ago. During all this time it has never been winter-killed in the least, and has borne regular crops of fine fruit. It has been tested for several seasons at the experiment sta- tions, and passed acriticalexamination by Prof. H. E. VanDeman, formerly U. S. Pomolo- gist, whose report upon it I submit below:
‘The progress of the Greenville Strawberry from obscurity to the front rank, both for
THE ELDORADO BLACKBERRY. 5
market and home use, has been unprecedented, and from my personal knowledge of the Eldorado Blackberry, I fully believe it has as much merit as the strawberry, and after it becomes better known will be as popular. Every lover of good Blackberries should give this excellent and valuable fruit a trial. Its merits are GOOD SIZE, EXTRA FINE QUALITY, EXTREME HARDINESS and GREAT PRODUCTIVENESS ; ararecom- bination not found so far in any other Blackberry. It is described as follows by Prof. H. E. VanDeman: ‘‘Fruit medium to large, oblong conical, irregular, with very large drupes and small seeds and core; quality excellent.”
WHAT OTHERS SAY OF ELDORADO.
We are in receipt of samples of Eldorado Blackberry, for which accept thanks. Samples sent are of good size and extra fine quality. How is it for hardiness, etc.? Will be pleased to receive circular.—STORRS & HARRISON Co., Painesville, O.
The flavor of Eldorado is superior to anything we know of in the way of Blackberries, while the size is good, and it is entirely free from hard core. Certainly a superior Black- berry, and if it is hardy it will be far in advance of other kinds with which we are familiar.— THE HOOVER & GAINES Co., Dayton, Ohio.
The Eldorado Blackberry sent usin ’o1 is bearing some fruit this year which is just ripen- ing. The fruit is of good size and the plants healthy. They came through the winter in good shape, and probably would have borne more fruit but for the excessive rains.—SAMUEL B. GREEN, Horticulturist, Experiment Station, St. Anthony Park, Minn.
Large Growth and Productiveness at One Year Old.
The Eldorado Blackberry plants sent me last season are making a wonderful growth. One stalk that was broken down about two weeks ago by a severe wind storm was fully an inch in diameter. The bushes are quite heavily loaded with fruit.—G. W. Tryon, Craw- ford County, Pa.
A Good Crop at One Year.
Prof. J. Troop, Horticulturist Indiana Experiment Station, LaFayette, Ind., says: = Blackberries are not ripening yet, but the Eldorado, which you ‘sent us for trial last year, promises to give a good crop.
The Eldorado has done finely with us this season. It seems to be as hardy as Snyder; is larger and of better quality. It seems aboutas near what fruit growers want in a Black- berry as anything I am acquainted with. Of course further trial may compel me to change my opinion, but I have great faith in the Eldorado.—W. J. GREEN, Horticulturist Ohio Ag- ricultural Experiment Station.
A Good Shipper.
The berries came in all right, as usual. The Eldorado is an elegant shipper, and the quality and size are superb. Weare more than pleased with Eldorados on account of re- ceiving them in such good order. They outsell all others. Thanking you for filling our order so promptly, we remain respectfully yours, T. O. WILLIAMS & Sons, Wholesale and Retail Grocers, Bryan, Ohio.
Of the Very Best Quality.
Your card of the 23d and the box containing specimens of the Eldorado Blackberry came allright. This is just what we want, and I am delighted with the berries. They have no core, and are as sweet and delicious as any I ever tasted grown under the most favor- able circumstances. Since my boyhood I have gathered berries in many states, but I have never tasted anything better than these specimens of Eldorado which you have just sent. Very truly, H. E. VAN DEMAN, Washington, D. C.
An Immense Producer.
From last year’s experience I can say that the Eldorado is an immense producer ; the berry ripens evenly and Is very sweet, medium in size, second early. The yield was much greater than that of any other variety on our grounds’ last year.—GEo. C. Butz, Horticul- turist, State College, Pa.
Larger and Better Flavored than Snyder, and Likely to Take the Lead Among Hardy Sorts.
The weather was too dry here this season for Blackberries, but the Eldorado gave us some good berries and a fair crop. The berries are larger and of better quality than the Snyder, and I believe that itis as hardy. It will take high rank among the hardy sorts ; at present I think it will take the lead.—W. J. GREEN, Wooster, Ohio.

DOWNING’S WINTER MAIDEN BLUSH APPLE.
HISTORY. This fine Apple was produced from seed of the Fall Maiden Blush by Jason Downing, in Darke county, Ohio, in the spring of 1874. It made a vigorous growth, and at the age of seven years it bore some excellent fruit. Since then it has produced fruit annually. I have been noticing the behavior of this Apple for the past ten years, growing it in both nursery and orchard, and have decided, from the weight of testimony in its favor, to grow it in quantities to supply the increased demand. The oldest tree growing on my fruit-farm was planted 10 years ago, and was well loaded with fruit this year, as shown incut. Have also a number of trees in orchard 6 years old from graft, from which I gathered some very fine fruit. A fair specimen of the fruit is shown on front cover. I have planted extensive orchards of this Apple, and a number of parties in the neighborhood of Mr. Downing are setting from 30 to 75 trees of this variety. This alone is proof that the Apple, where known, is appreciated.
DESCRIPTION. Fruit large, irregular, sometimes flattened ; at other times slightly elongated, inclining to conic, generally angular; skin light waxen yellow, with a bright red cheek in the sun. Stem short, usually inserted in a deep cavity, often surrounded with russet ; calyx small, basin of moderate depth; flesh yellowish, crisp, tender, juicy, with a very pleasant, mild, subacid flavor. It has a very fragrant odor; quality very good. Season December to April. Tree a good grower and bearer.
Almost an Exact Copy of Its Parent.
The first object which attracted my attentionon entering the exhibition-room of the Ohio State Horticultural Society, at Troy, was a splendid dish, as I supposed, of cold-storage Maiden Blush Apples, with all the beauty of that elegant Autumn variety in the prime of its season. This delusion I labored under until a critical examination revealed my mistake. Since my return home I have made a more critical test of the qualities of this Apple and find it to be the almost identical counterpart, except in maturity, of its parent, the ever- popular Maiden Blush.—W. H. RAGAN, Secretary A. H.S.
Good Quality, Fine Appearance.
We have seen Jason Downing’s new seedling Apple, and can state that it is of good quality and fine appearance, somewhat resembling Fall Maiden Blush, of which it is a seed- ling. Itis, however, a Winter Apple, and has good keeping qualities.—W. N. KINSEY, of Kinsey & Co.’s Nurseries.
At Least as Good as Its Parent.
R. J. Black, the noted horticulturist, of Bremen, Ohio, says: ‘‘Itis at least as good as its parent; beautiful, of good size and flavor, and possessing a very fine perfume.
A Most Beautiful Fruit, and Suits My Taste Exactly.
Samuel Miller, a noted fruit-grower of Bluffton, Mo., writes: Your letter received, and the box with the apples in excellent trim. It is a most beautiful fruit, and suits my taste exactly.
Of Magnificent Form and Appearance.
I have sampled the Winter Maiden Blush Apple handed me by you, and find it of mag- nificent form and appearance, greatly resembling the Autumn Maiden Blush ; smooth, nice, and of fine flavor. If the treeis hardy, certainly an important addition to our fruits.—N. H. ALBAUGH, President Albaugh Nursery Co.
Superior to Its Parent.
In flavor I think it issuperior to its parent, and the texture of the flesh is very tender and melting ; a very good Apple.—H. E. VAN DEMAN.
GEo. W. CAMPBELL, President Ohio State Horticultural Society, writes: I think the Apple a handsome, pleasant-flavored and good one.
WILLIAM GAINES, of Hoover & Gaines Co., Dayton, O., writes: Think Downing’s Winter Maiden Blush a very promising Apple.
J. G. BILDERBACK, of Millersburgh, Ohio, says of it: A very good Apple; worthy of cultivation, undoubtedly.
I ate thesample of Winter Maiden Blush you gave me and found it of very good quality, with a somewhat tougher skin than the common Maiden Blush, which will make it a better shipper. If the tree is all right it will be a valuable variety.—_W. W. FARNSWORTH, Secre- tary Ohio State Horticultural Society.

Crosby Peach.
Two Fine Peaches.
CROSBY PEACH.
This promising new Peach is a fine grower, and [ havea large stock of strong trees of it, but not having fruited it here, I subjoin what the introducers say of it, as follows: ‘‘ The constant bearing of these trees for ten years, often when all others failed, have brought the hardiness and value of this variety to public attention, and the demand for trees has become enormous from those who know it best. The fruit is of medium size, roundish in form, slightly flattened, with distinct seam on the blossom end ; bright, orange-yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine on the sunny side; of beautiful appear- ance, and not so acid as most yellow Peaches of the Crawford class. It ripens between Early and Late Crawford. When it is considered that its fruit buds are so hardy as to withstand the frosts that often kill all other good varieties, its special value is apparent. A fine yellow Peach to supply the market when there are no others.”’

CHAMPION PEACH.
Tree very hardy and productive, having withstood a temperature 18 degrees below zero, and produced a full crop the following summer. Fruit large to very large, many specimens measuring ro inches in circumference ; flavor delicious, sweet, rich and juicy ; surpasses all early varieties. Ripens at place of origin, Nokomos, IIl , about August § ; fine for market or family use; freestone.—I. G. Huspparp, Nokomos, III.
Gro. W. CAMPBELL, President Ohio State Horticultural Society, says: ‘The Champion is the best Peach I saw or tasted in 1892.”
Of this variety I have also a well-grown block of trees, and offer them at the fol- lowing prices: First-class, 5 to 7 feet, 20 cts. each, $1.50 per 10.
Raspberries.
MILLER RED.
This new berry is said to combine a vigorous cane, earliness of ripening, large size, fine color and firmness of fruit with avery fine flavor. It has been grown for Philadelphia market, and stands at the head as a shipper.
10 cts. each, 75 cts. per 10.
EUREKA.
This seems to be a berry of great promise; of good size, early in ripening, wonder- fully productive ; ripening over a long season, and of fine flavor. Prof. W. J. Green thinks it will yield as much to the plant as a plant each of Gregg and Palmer.
40 cts. per 10, $3 per 100.
Miller Red Raspberry.
COLUMBIA.
This new candidate for public favor is well recommended by the state experiment stations of New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and such conservative authorities as the American Agriculturist and Rural New-Yorker. Said to be similar in habit of plant to Shaffer, of whichit isa seedling, but is amore vigorous grower and more produc- tive. Canes are light-colored, foliage healthy, roots strong, spreading and penetrating to a good depth, enabling it to resist drouth. Propagated from tips. The fruit is very large, somewhat conical; dark red, with small seeds, and a distinct flavor; does not crumble in picking, and is firm enough to bea good shipper. The berries adhere to the stems better than Shaffer's.
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $15 per 100.
THE CHAUTAUQUA GOOSEBERRY.
A new berry of the English type, originating in New York, and remarkable for its very largesize and wonderful productiveness. The introducer says of it: ‘‘A very vigor- ous, upright grower, with large, dark green foliage.
Fruit of a beautiful light yellow tint, averaging an inch and over in diameter, sometimes 114 inches long. It is rather thick-skinned, but very sweet, and of exquisite flavor. -
‘‘At the World’s Fair Exhibition almost every known variety, both from Europe and America, was on ex- hibition. In competition with these were two plates of the Chautauqua Gooseberry, which overshadowed everything else shown for size and beauty.”
One-year plants, No. 1, 75 cts. each; 2-year, No. 1, ATU RAL Ss [ZE $1 each. Chautauqua Gooseberry.

APPLES:
The first fruit, both in importance and general culture, isthe Apple. Its long life, hardiness and great productiveness of fruit, that, with care in selection, isin season all the year, makes it the staple fruit of this country. The varieties named below are selected with great care, so as to comprise hardiness, productiveness and fine flavor, the last-named quality being almost lost sight of in the craze for the so-called ironclads. These may have a place in the cold Northwest, but here, where we can grow so much better kinds, they should, with few exceptions, be touched lightly. Varieties of special merit are 1n CAPITAL LETTERS.

PEARS. Tap
PEARS.
The Pear is annually becoming more popular as it becomes better known. It is a more regular bearer than even the Apple, and less liable to insect ravages. To be suc- cessful with it requires some degree of skill, one important point being to gather the fruit at the proper time. Summer Pears should be gathered a week or ten days before they are ripe ; Autumn Pears may hang until there is danger from freezing.
Unless otherwise noted, prices are 35 cts. each, $3 per 10 and $22 per 100.

Plums.
A rich, strong soil best suits the Plum. Good cultivation and a liberal fertilizing to the soil are also essential. If black knot should appear, cut and burn every part so affected at once. In the early stages of the fruit, the curculio should be jarred off the trees on sheets and destroyed.
Price, first-class trees, 35 cts. each, $3 per 10, $22 per 100.
ABUNDANCE. This is a remarkably rapid grower and early bearer, said to be prodigiously productive. The fruit is large, amber-colored, turning to rich cherry red, with a decided white bloom when ripe; flesh light yellow, juicy, tender, and of a delic- ious flavor. Excellent for canning. Early.
Bradshaw. Fruit large, violet-red; juicy, sprightly and of an agreeable flavor. Tree vigorous, erect and productive. Valuable for market.

LOMBARD. Medium to large, oval; violet-red ; juicy and good ; adheres to stone. Wonderfully productive, a tree of this variety having yielded last season 7% bushels of fruit that sold for $15.

Shipper’s Pride. Large, round, purple; very firm, of excellent quality. A good grower and regular bearer. Very productive.
Peaches.
A warm, dry, sandy loam is probably best for the Peach. The trees should have the young shoots shortened back one-half or more of the last year’s growth annually, so as to preserve a round, vigorous head. The land should not be allowed to get sodded, but be kept in constant cultivation. The following selections comprise only the very best varieties, and will make a succession of over two months.
Prices are for first-class, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per 10, $10 per 100.

ular as a market sort. Globe. Very large, yellow ; unsurpassed for flavor. Hill’s Chili. A remarkably hardy variety. Fruit of medium size; late.

STUMP. One of the best of the white freestone Peaches grown ; popular.
CHERRIES, GRAPES, ETC. 13:
Cherries.
The Cherry succeeds best in a warm, sandy, well-drained soil. The Duke and Morello varieties are thoroughly hardy andreliable. The Heart varieties are not so hardy as the former, but may be depended on in most places. Our list isnot a long one, but is composed of the foremost varieties.
Price, first-class, 5 to 6 ft., 30 cts. each, $2.50 per 10, $20 per 100.

YELLOW ‘SPANISH. Very large; flesh firm, juicy and delicious; pale yellow, with a red cheek in the sun. Eminently popular, vigorous and productive.

Dukes and Morellos.
ENGLISH MORELLO. Large, dark red; acid, rich, juicy and good. Very pro- ductive ; one of the best.
EARLY RICHMOND. Of medium size, dark red, melting, juicy; of sprightly acid flavor. This is one of the most popular of all the varieties grown in the United States to-day, and in the Central and Western states would probably outnumber all other varieties. Indispensable.

ORANGE. Large, roundish, fine yellow color; cooks well, and is of fine flavor ; productive. The most popular of the older varieties.
MEECH’S PROLIFIC. Thisis a variety of great merit and more recent introduc- tion. A vigorous grower and immensely productive. Inclined to overbear unless severely pruned, and well encouraged in growth by fertilizers.
Grapes.
The Grape is a fruit that succeeds over a wide area. It should have good culture and annual pruning to insure its doing its best. We offer the following kinds, which include most of those found really valuable. Prices given are for first-class 2-year vines. If ordered by mail, lighter vines will be sent at same price; for lighter vines by express or freight deduct 25 per cent. from list price : Each Per 10 Per 100 Agawam, red; Hartford, black; [artha, white; Worden, black;

Strawberries.
If there is one fruit that above all others deserves the name of being in the lead for lusciousness and healthfulness, it is the Strawberry. Its season of ripening is hailed with joy on all sides, from the youthful berry- picker in the field to the aristocrat of the city. The proper time to plant at the north is in the spring. With thorough cultiva- tion, this fruit may be depended on as a suc- cess almost every season. I have nota fail- ure to record in my 17 years of experience in growing it. In the following list those marked thus (*) are pistillate, and need one of the fertilizing varieties planted near them. There may be four rows of the for- mer to one of the latter, this being about the proper proportion of each to plant. A lack of care in this point is often the cause of disappointment in berry culture.
Brandywine. Of great promise; large, of fine form, color and quality. Plant vigorous, with perfect blossom.
*Timbrell. New; said to be fine. Mr
Carman says: ‘‘ The best berry, all things

*Bubach. A valuable standard sort. Should be in every collection ; large, vigor- ous and productive.
Cumberland. An old variety, that has proved itself valuable for home use and as a fertilizer. Succeeds on all soils.
*Crescent. Too well known to need description. A great yielder, but some newer sorts of finer size and better flavor are taking its place.
*Haverland. A valuable fruit, of fair quality; wonderfully productive. Popular for a near market; too soft for shipping long distance.
Lovett. A berry that has given the very best results here as a variety for fertilizing other kinds, and at the same time yielding a good crop of fruit. It ripens its fruit over a long season. :
*Warfield. One of the leading market berries. Rich dark red, of fair size and good flavor, firm ; holds its size well to end of season.
*Windsor Chief. Large, dark red, an abundant bearer; one of the best of the late berries for canning; has an acid flavor.

RASPBERRIES, CURRANTS, ETc. 15
Raspberries.
This fruit follows closely after strawberries. Plant on strong soil, manure freely, cultivate thoroughly, or mulch heavily. For field culture plant in rows 7 or 8 feet apart, 3 feet apart in row. Pinch off the young canes the second sum- mer, when 18 inches high, and the following spring prune off the lat- erals to within 12 to 18 inches from the canes.
