Orchardists, Grow Ber- 

 ries Between Your Trees 



The roots of fruit trees occupy only about a 

 quarter of the ground space for the first twelve or 

 fifteen years. Xo business man would think of 

 allowing three-fourths of his capital to lie idle for 

 that length of time! There is just as good a mar- 

 ket for berries as for apples. Strawberries. Him- 

 alaya berries, Currants, etc., will begin bearing 

 in a year from planting. The first crop will give 

 a net profit of from #50 to $400 an acre 



A $1,000 An Acre Berry 



The Himalaya Bern," plant is a briary vine that 

 does not die down or winter-kill an inch. Shoots 

 grow thirty feet a season. Old and new wood 

 alike bears for a hundred years, and ten tons of 

 rich pulpy berries per acre is the average yield 

 from thirty-months-old plants. 



The Best Berries to Grow 



Berrydale Experiment Gardens has tested the 

 merits of hundreds of varieties of berries. The 

 very best dozen or so are described in the Berry- 

 dale Bern - Book. Himalaya Bern.-, the greatest 

 money maker, is given special detailed description.

Have you ever seen a real 



Dutch Bulb catalog — a catalog of Dutch {F}ulbs issued by the 



house that grew them? 



Do you understand the difference in sizes and qualities that ex- 

 ist in Dutch Bulbs — do you realize that your lack of success with 

 these Harbingers of Spring may be due to the bulbs you plant, 

 rather than to any fault of 3-our own ? 



All these points are explained in our 



1912 Catalog of Dutch Bulbs 



This catalog will appeal to all flower-lovers — to the man who buys ten tulips, 

 hyacinths, or daffodils, and trie man who buys ten thousand. 



It lists and describes the newest varieties; gives combinations that have been 

 proved satisfactory for bedding purposes, and for forcing. It suggests the varie- 

 ties to plant in combination more accurately than would be possible, if we did not 

 maintain at our Sassenheim Nurseries unique testing beds for this very purpose. 



Now, while your Bulb beds are in bloom, is the time to get this book 



and make comparisons. Write to-day.

Pitcher Plants 



(SaLrra-cenia. Purpurea.) 



Also called Side-Saddle Flower; Hunts- 

 man's Cup; Indian Dipper. 



This strange and beautiful perennial is a 

 native of the cool, wet and mossy bogs of 

 Maine and is perfectly hardy from Labrador 

 to Florida. It is one of the few carnivorous 

 plants of Xorth America. Its leaves are 

 true pitchers, some holding a wineglassful 

 of water. Will thrive in a bowl of water in- 

 doors or out and is a most welcome addition 

 to the fernery or aquarium, furnishing end- 

 less interest to the whole family, while in al- 

 most an}" wet or swampy place along a brook, 

 river or pond or in or near a spring it is per- 

 fectly at home. Its flowers are as remark- 

 able as its leaves. 



A fine specimen sent postpaid for 25 cents 

 or three plants for 50 cents.
