King' of Raspberries 



(ELverbearing) 



Raspberries from June to November! From your 

 own garden to your own table! La France Ever- 

 bearing Raspberry is Scheepers' latest introduction 

 to the world of horticulture. Immense clusters! 

 Giant berries — twice the size of the ordinary va- 

 rieties ! Firm, luscious fruit ; deep colored, 

 wonderfully rich-flavored! And few seeds! 



Tested and Proved for Three 



Years — Continuous Crop — 



Easily Propagated 



La France Everbearing is a remarkable plant. 

 Its hardiness and habits — its prolific bearing qual- 

 ities, and its ease of propagation — make it a horti- 

 cultural phenomenon. 



Planted early in the spring, it loses no time getting 

 started. Begins bearing as early as the first week 

 of July (the first season!) and "never lets up" — 

 keeps right on with break after break, cluster- 

 laden shoots, un'il all vegetation is completely 

 frost-checked for the season. Even then its remark- 

 able nature continues in evidence: La France has 

 demonstrated its hardiness by surviving tempera- 

 tures as low as 30 below zero. 



La France Everbearing Raspberry propagates freely and 

 very rapidly. A dozen plants will produce a Rood- sized 

 berry patch in an incredibly short time. 

 Its rapid growth, its hardihood to withstand extreme cold, 

 its immunity from fungus and insect diseases, its remark- 

 able all-season production of fruit, make La France Ever- 

 bearing by all odds the raspberry for home gardener, 

 fruit grower or farnicr. 



Now's the Time to Order. 



Supply is Very Limited. 



Plant La France early this spring and have berries the 

 first days of July. But order now. Six plants for $10.50. 

 Twelve plants for $20. One hundred plants for $150.
