The largest Black Raspberry known, has been well tested in nearly all sections the past two seasons, giving thorough satisfaction. In hardiness and productiveness it is unexcelled by any other variety. In size, the fruit is simply enormous, far surpassing any other sort. The berries run seven-eighths and fifteen-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, and are of such handsome appearance that their fruit sold for 10c. per quart, when other varieties were selling for 5c. to 7c. per quart. The quality is very similar and fully equal to Gregg. In spite of its unusual large size, the fruit is possessed of great firmness and is thus well adapted for standing long shipments. It follows Palmer and Souhegan and precedes Gregg supporting their loads of large fruit. It has also shown itself remarkably free from that scourge of its family, anthracnose. Large growers report yields of two and three times as much per acre as Ohio, under same conditions, and far ahead of all other varieties. 15c. 10 for $1.00; 100 for $3.75.
