St. Regis Everbearing* 



The Raspberry for the Million and the 

 Millionaire. "There's Millions In It." 



You can now have wonderful raspberries from 

 June to October by setting out the plants in April. 



Never before has a plant been grown which would 

 fruit the first season. 



Then, for four months the St. Regis produces 

 continuously — heavy crops of large, luscious, sugary 

 beriies of bright crimson. 



Big profits growing St. Regis for market — the 

 fruit keeps in perfect condition longer than any other 

 red raspberry. 



Endures drought and severest cold without injury. 

 Awarded Certificate of Merit by American Institute of City

SOBER PARAGON 



Mammoth, Sweet Chestnut 



Crop, Fall of 1910, brought $48,000, orchard 

 only 8 years old. 

 Theonly large siveef chestnut in the world. 

 Bears the second year. The nuts average 1 to 

 2 inches in diameter — and 3 to 5 nuts in a bur. 



United States Pomologist, G. B. Brackett, says 

 "The Sober Paragon comes the nearest in quality 

 to the native chestnut of any of the cultivated 

 varieties that I have examined. It is of large 

 size, fine appearance and excellent flavor." 



Testimony from growers, commission mer- 

 chants, Forestry Experts, etc., given in our free 

 booklet, together with prices and particulars. 

 We own exclusive control

 gon. This copy-

Hardy Acclimated Pecan Trees 

 for Planting in Northern States 



Hrre are Pecan Trees which will thrive in Northern States — 

 producing as prolificacy and as profitably as any Southern Pecans. 



Thus, through a remarkable scientific achievement, an 

 immensely profitable industry becomes available in the North — 



For, Pecan Orchards pay far bigger profits per acre than wheat 

 or corn. 



And a shade-tree of wondro'js beauty, long the pride of the 

 South, may now adorn any Northern landscape. 



We have five varieties of hardy trees best suited for Northern 

 planting. These have withstood temperature far below zero, — 

 never been known to " winter-kill." Successful in almost any 

 soil. Begin bearing in 5 to 7 years. Bear bountifully for genera- 

 tions and attain immense size. Valuable information on Pecan 

 Culture in our catalog.
