June, 191! 



Plant All Summer 



Did you think it was too late to plant and that 

 all the beauties of a garden would have to be 

 postponed until another year? Nonsense! 80% 

 of the flowers, shrubs, trees and evergreens can 

 be planted all summer long. We guarantee suc- 

 cess and satisfaction. 



We shall be more than delighted to explain how 

 it is possible. Let us send with our compliments, 

 "Hardy Garden Flowers," a 24-page book in 

 color. It is one of a series we have prepared for 

 those who are interested in having a more 

 attractive landscape. They are known as Hicks 

 Monographs. You will receive them all if you

Good and Poor Red Raspberry 

 Varieties 



T AST season I fruited eight varieties of 

 -*— ' raspberries in a small way, and de- 

 stroyed two as soon as the picking season 

 closed. Columbian and Cardinal are the two 

 thus eliminated. They are unattractive, 

 purplish, very acid — too tart for the table — 

 and not very good flavor. Possibly they 

 might have been good for jam or bottling, 

 but I'd rather have the more scarlet fruit for 

 the table and use any surplus for canning, 

 than grow a variety I couldn't eat with 

 pleasure solely for canning. 



The King, a scarlet, is one of the largest 

 berries I have ever grown. The plants make 

 almost no suckers, so this variety is suitable 

 for hill culture, a method not possible with 

 the majority of red raspberry varieties. The 

 fruit is not of specially high flavor but it 

 makes up for that in its size and firmness. 

 One peculiarity in its method of bearing is 

 that the berries drop very easily; so a good 

 many may be lost by falling on the ground 

 unless gathered a trifle immature. Another 

 point, is that it has a very long season of 

 ripening — almost from a "first early" to a 

 "last late." Thus it is a good one for the 

 home plantation where berries are wanted for 

 the longest possible time. 



Herbert, a variety that hails from Ottawa, 

 Canada, is if anything larger than King, 

 certainly finer flavored, and holds better to 

 the plant. It is one of the most promising 

 varieties I have ever grown. I had only a 

 few plants of it in very unfavorable soil so if 

 it pleased me under such conditions it ought 

 to be a positive acquisition where conditions 

 are more favorable. 



Danboro is another comparatively new 

 variety which I grew for the first time last 

 summer. The berries are remarkably large 

 and what few I had were riper flavored than 

 either King or Herbert. In fact, it was 

 pronounced by several who tested it as the 

 finest of the eight varieties grown. 



Golden Queen, a sport of the well-known 

 standby, the Cuthbert, has all the charac- 

 teristics of its "parent" except color. It is 

 now her only first-class yellow variety. 

 Wonderfully prolific — the most abundant 

 bearer of the eight — its quality is almost 

 equal to the two just mentioned and its color 

 adds a pleasing novelty to the table. The 

 chief fault of this variety is that it forms an 

 enormous number of suckers. 



Miller and a variety erroneously labeled 

 "St. Regis" made no special impression upon 

 me. The true St. Regis is an acquisition, 

 first because it is of good quality, and second, 

 because it bears a second crop in the fall on 

 the young canes.
