Lum's Ererbearing Raspberry-Thi'
is new sort brought gu, by H. B Lnm
of Ohio. and highly recommended by
many Of the most reliable and noted
horliculturis,s, among whom is Dr.
Warder. Of Ohio. The following is Mr..
Lum's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. resembles
the common black or Dooliltle, but is
moe stocky and not 30 tall. 1t never

naturally only from the tips. Frui
large, black aud SWEET. resembling the
Doolitle in size and quality at the sum
mer fruiling, but te berries are much
larger in September and October if the
weather is favorable, frequently measur
ing three, fourths Of an inch in diameter
Berries commence ripening on the old
wood about the first Of July, and the
crop, according to the size Of the plan
will be fully equal to the Doollttle. BE

will have pushed out from the base o
the plant, which will also be loaded will

uprposes l would advise this treatment,
especially il the peach crop should

then command high price and the frui

peach almost universally fails. The
plant is as hardy asthe common black

they are mulched in case OF sever

We would advise the same course @
