Dewberries for Prairie Gardens 



THE fruit of the Lucretia dewberry is 

 of excellent quality, and as it is at its 

 best just between the fruiting of the raspberry 

 and the blackberry it is much appreciated. 

 It is a hardy plant and a persistent grower. 

 Unlike the blackberry and raspberry it has 

 nothing like the rust with which to contend. 

 It is one kind of fruit that succeeds in south- 

 western Kansas in our irrigated gardens. 

 In productiveness and in quality it is all that 

 can be desired. The fruit is about the size 

 of a large blackberry, and it possesses a 

 delicious flavor but has no hard core. 

 Wherever it succeeds as it has here it is 

 worthy of a place in every fruit garden. 

 But here where so little fruit is grown it is 

 indeed a most desirable acquisition to the 

 garden. 



Many years ago I tried growing it in north- 

 eastern Kansas but the vines winter-killed 

 so badly that they never yielded much fruit. 

 So after a few years the patch was plowed 

 up and planted to corn. Notwithstanding 

 the plowing and cultivating, young dewberry 

 plants continued to come up and grow among 

 the corn. Their persistence in retaining 

 their foothold finally led us to transplant 

 some of them — giving them a place along the 

 fence in the garden. They made a good 

 growth, but as we removed to southwestern 



The Lucretia dewberry is an excellent fruit for the 

 prairie garden. It ripens between the raspberry and 

 blacKberry seasons

TRUE TEMPER LINE 



A new enjoyment is added to flower gardening by the 

 use of the right kind of tools . 



You wouldn't try to make a watch with a carpenter's 

 hammer. Why try to grow pansies with a field hoe ? 



It is a specialwork and nothing responds more quickly 

 to careful and intelligent cultivation than flowers. 



True Temper Floral Tools have been designed by ex- 

 pert flower growers to meet the particular requirements 

 of flower culture on all scales — from the one small bed 

 to the seedsman's farm.

 vegetable garden making and farming as well.
