La France 



King of Raspberries 



(Everbearing) 



Raspberries from early July to November! From your own garden to your own 

 table! La France Everbearing Raspberry is Scheepers' latest introduction to 

 the world of horticulture. Immense clusters! Giant berries— twice the size 

 of the ordinary varieties! Firm, luscious fruit; deep-colored, wonderfully rich- 

 flavored! And few seeds! 



Tested and Proved for Three Years 



Continuous Crop — Easily Propagated 



La France Bverbeariug is a re- 

 markable plant. Ita hardiness 

 anil habits — its proliBc bearing 

 qualities, and its ease of prop- 

 agation—make it a horticultural 

 phenomenon. Planted early in 

 the spring, it loses no time get- 

 ting 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 evi- 

 dence; La Prance has demon- 

 strated Us hardiness by sur- 



viving temperatures as low as 

 30° below zero. 



La France Everbearing Rasp- 

 berry propagates freely and 

 very rapidly. A dozen plants 

 will produce a good-sized berry 

 patch in an incredibly short 

 time. 



Its rapid growth, its hardihood 

 to withstand extreme cold, its 

 immunity from fungus and in- 

 sect diseases, its remarkable all- 

 season production of fruit, 

 make La France Everbearing 

 by all odds the raspberry for 

 home gardener, fruit grower or 

 farmer.
