RENTON'S REAUTEOUS RERRIES. 



The Productive " Caringberry," 



As grown by Govt. Experimental Farms, Hawkesbury, Yanco, Etc. 



The Caringberry was brought to Australia some five years ago. The original was a native 



of Montana, U.S.A., and is a cross between the Mulberry and Raspberry on the parent 



plant of the American Blackberry. Has the combined flavours of the Raspberry and 



Mulberry. 



The Caringberry is used extensively in all large cities of America in fruit salads. Many 



growers of the Strawberries in America are discarding them, as it is so much easier to grow 



CaringberrJes. Not affected by pests or birds like Strawberries or other fruits.

 Fruit Farmers cannot afford to be without them. 



The Prolific "Bluberry/' 



Five years ago the Bluberry which is a cross between the Lawtonberry, Mulberry, and 

 Red Logan was first propagated by us. It combines the flavours of the Lawtonberry, 

 Red Logan, and, like the Caringberry, not having so much waste as the Strawberry, it 

 commands a higher price for the fruit. In fact, one-time Strawberry growers are giving 

 the Bluberry preference, as it is not .affected by pests or birds, and is consequently so much 

 easier to grow. Being disease proof, it does not require replanting for at least 20 years. 

 It fruits between November and March, just when fruit salads are required. The fruit 

 carries and sells well ; as it does not require much room, and is easy to pick, there is a great 

 future for the Bluberry in Australia. 



Last season, ending ist April, we sold fruit to the value of 250 from J acre of z\ year 

 plants, using old manure and Fertilisers as top dressing, which gives best results.

The Luscious " Lawtonberry." 



The Lawtonberry is a cross between the Loganberry and American Blackberry, being very 

 hardy, and bearing large, fine-flavoured fruit, much superior to Loganberries. Can be 

 used with cream, like strawberries, raspberries or mulberries, and make beautiful pies. 

 Fruit may be stewed. Makes delicious jam.

The Wonderful 



Mexican Passion Fruit Vine* 



As grown by Govt. Experimental Farms, Hawkesbury, Yanco, Etc. 



This vine, as its name denotes, is a native of Mexico. It has been greatly improved by 

 us, is easily grown by any novice : it bears most beautiful large fruit of a distinctly permeating 

 flavour, very superior to the ordinary passions, and for fruit salad and ice cream, &c., is 

 delicious. Last December we picked 75 half-bushel cases of fruit from 50 plants at first 

 picking, realising 255. per half-bushel case, and selling in shops at zs. $d. per dozen and 

 3d. each.
