THE 



HERBERT 



RASPBERRY 



THE EARLIEST. HARDIEST 

 FINEST FLAVORED, MOST 

 PRODUCTIVE AND LARG- 

 EST RED RASPBERRY 



Originated by R. B. Wkyte, prominent 

 Horticulturist of Ottawa 



From all quarters come favorable rec- 

 ord of the Herbert's good qualities. 



NORTH 



F. Theaker, Hanbury, Temiskaming^ 

 district, writes: "Now for the Herbert 

 Raspberry. It is the largest in size, and 

 the finest in flavor of any red raspberry I 

 have ever seen or tasted. It is a great 

 yielder, a vig^orous grower, and as hardy 

 as the wild berry of this country. There 

 is no need to protect the canes here, for 

 there was no killing back whatever. The 

 canes were alive to the very tips in the 

 spring." 



EAST 



\V. W. Dunlop, Outremonl, Que.: "I 

 have fruited the Herbert Raspberry here, 

 having purchased a few of the plants from 

 Mr. Whyte before he sold to you, and am 

 very well pleased with it. Unlike most of 

 the novelties introduced, it has so far shown 

 most of the good points claimed for it." 



The Herbert is highly spoken of in 

 several reports issued by the Central Ex- 

 perimental Farm, Ottawa. 



SOUTH 



The National Nurserymcin^ Rochester, 

 N.Y., in its issue of October, 1905, says : 

 "Keep your eye on the Herbert Raspberry. 

 The editor of The Nurserymen has known 

 it for a nimiber of years, and his experience 

 with it has impressed him very favorably." 



WEST 



A. E. Sherrington, of Walkerlon (in 

 December Horticulturist) says that during 

 the past season the Herbert has given ex- 

 cellent results. The first fruit was picked 

 July 17th and the last August iilh. In 

 that time 565 ounces were picked from a 

 20 ft. row. The quality was fine, and it has 

 proved to be a good shipper. (Mr. Sher- 

 rington, like Mr. Dunlop, wants more of the 

 plants.)

are fully described in his seventh annual cata- 

 log, which is just out. Mr. VandeVburg began 

 raising strawberry plants for sale about seven 

 years ago because he recognized how difficult 

 it was to obtain varieties true to name, because 

 there were no growers in Canada supplying the 

 leading varieties in quantity. The growth of 

 his business during the past few years is stiffi- 

 cient guarantee that Kis stock is good and prices 

 right. 



Some 21 years ago Mr. Allen, of the firm W. 

 F. Allen, of Maryland, began business in a very 

 small way and issued a small four- page cir- 

 cular. The new circular for the season of 1906 

 gives some idea of the develojjment this firm 

 has made. The new catalog includes a full 

 description of the leading varieties of straw- 

 berries, including Cardinal, Advance, Chesa- 

 peake, Gandy, Bederwood, Bubach, and num- 

 erous other standard varieties. A fine collec- 

 tion of dewberries, raspberries, currants, goose- 

 berries, grapes, asparagus, and all the vege- 

 able crops are fully described and well illus- 

 trated. 



Transportation Rates 



The committee of the Ont. F. G. A. in charge 

 of the problem connected with transportation 

 took steps at the meeting held at the Rossin 

 House, Toronto, on Jan. 16, to obtain better 

 transportation facilities for the coming season. 

 Delegates to the Dominion Conference, which is 

 to be held in Ottawa, will be instructed to 

 arrange for deputations to wait on the Railway 

 Commission and ask for a reduction in rates on 

 apples. It is felt that barrels should be accepted 

 at a fixed weight of 150 pounds, and that railways 

 should be required to provide cars equal to the 

 best now used in America. 



The Railway Commission will be requested to 

 pass an order compelling the railways to furnish 

 shipjjers of perishable goods information each 

 day as to where the car is located, and that a 

 titne limit of at least 12 miles an hour should 

 be enforced regarding the shipping of this com- 

 modity. The Dominion Government w'ill be 

 approached with the view also of having express 

 rates placed in control of the Railway Commis- 

 sion, as owing to present arrangements exorbi- 

 tant rates are charged by the express companies. 



Owing to the profit that can be derived from 

 the shipping of cull fruit to Europe during seasons
