VARIETIES FOR PLEASURE AND PROFILE
We have good REASONS to congratya
Late ourselves upon the usually large
number Of desirable kinds Of this
fruitttffat have recently made their APP
pearanGe. Beautiful berries indeed
are. some of thena, and what is equally
Important, is their possession Of many
valuable qualities which will alike be
appreciated sly amateurs and profess
sional snlarket-men. We do not won
der at the ezSelamationS of plea sare
with which th8Y have been received,
as they form a contrast indeed TO some
OF the varieties that are commonly
grown. RaspbsEries measuring from
two and.a half! to- three inches liz cir
cumfrenoe deserve to be praised, and. it
isacertainly p@Gd0nable in a person to-
give, expression to some enthusiasm
when first they meet his view. I cam
not now describe all of these now ber-
riesj, but the following are some .of the
new Varieties that are particularly
noticeable
E4ARHE PB0IIFIC. This lisa seed
ling Of tha' we4l-known "Phila 2alphia,a''
which was once so popular ia the ear
llersstages of raspberry culture. Tho;
fruit is. lalge; of a roundi8h, conical
shape, of a dEarE red color, and Of aa
aromatics pleasantly acid flavor. Their

New ROCHELLE. The wonderful
pr0duotIWenSs OF this variety is onQtof
the FINEST things that attr8ats attention
The plants when set ol& were placed
somewhat nearer together than. usual
at about three feet APART each Way
and as, they yielded laa5 summer f&om
t5Aae to six quarts pe,,St0ol, or ;l7saaaVe-
rage OF four and one Lalf quarts tp,aE-
cry mine square feet Of groumlD this
would give crop as the rate CT COM
&i6lerahly over six f4ndred buaa1els, to
the. acre. The fruit is extra lalg a. firm
enough for shipping and of an.agraea-
bile acid flavor. TIE canes prove to- be
perfectly hardy.
PRIDE OF THE IeGrDsoN. TIA, tame
of this splendid barry has nevs spread
Iall over the land. So familiar has it
become that [ need not say aaQIes IN re-
gard to it than taat it's bright lied ber-
ries frequently measure trans tMO and

ly superior to it in shipping qualities
Of fruit and hardness Of plants. REzI-
ANCE, HENRIETTA, HERsTIEE and
FRANCC5SEA are large red varieties, Ill
worthy of a description while the new
black cap GREGG Isl equally deserving
of me3ntion from the fact that. it even
rivals in size tho popular MAMMOTH
CLUSTER.
The raspberry can be grown on al
most all soils, and much easier than
many suppose, as the new hardy yarie
ties only require about tho same cult
walton that is given to an ordinary croI
Bof corn. A plantation OF suitable va
grIeties, consisting of from fifty to one
hundred and fifty plants, will usually
be sufficient for an ordinrry sized fam
t ly Plant out early in April, cultivate
well, and it will not lie long beferf
rich and delicious CROPS will makl
their appearance.
