King of Raspberries 



(Elverbearing) 



Raspberries from June to November! From your 

 own garden to your own table! La France Ever- 

 bearing Raspberry is Scheepers' 

 to the world of horticulture. 



latest introduction 

 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, until 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 

 v(ry rapidly. A dozen plants will produce a good- sized 

 blurry 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 farmer. 



Now*s the Time to Order. 



Supply is Very Limited.

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

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