We will send you postpaid ten Pure-bred Pedigree Fruit Plants, with complete 

 instructions for planting. These plants will be furnished by the Portland Seed Com- 

 pany, one of the old reliable seed companies of the Pacific Northwest. They have 

 been selected from strains that for generations have produced an immense crop of 

 quality fruit. They are specially adapted to the Pacific Northwest climate and will be 

 sent to you at the right time for planting in your particular section of the country. 



Let the idle space in your backyard or garden produce luscious ripe Raspberries, 

 Blackcaps, Dewberries and Blackberries. Nothing is more delicious than fresh ripe 

 fruit picked every morning while the dew is still on the vines. Berries that you buy 

 in the stores are usually shipped from a distance, which means that they are picked 

 before they are ripe. Fruit that ripens naturally on the vine tastes different, infi- 

 nitely better — and you can grow it in your own garden. We have selected for you a 

 collection of five of the best small fruits, "We want to send you two of each, ten in all. 

 This will give you efiough plants for a splendid home berry garden. ■h-uu-i.j-i^i.imm- i-tj-
