Thrifty Fruits for Everyone's Garden 



LITTLE COST, LITTLE SPACE, LITTLE LABOR, AND BRING BIG RETURNS 



When you plant a home-garden nowadays you have to consider what will give the best returns for the 

 space occupied. These fruits all "earn their keep" and more. Blackberries and raspberries produce fruit 

 bountifully. Plant at least a dozen of a kind and plant wherever space can be found. With berries selling 

 at 30 to 40 cents per basket, you can save more in one season than you pay for your plants and the labor 

 is trifling when compared with the results. 



Blackberries 



6 for $1, 12 for $1.75, postpaid; 100 for $7.50 n 



Blackberries should be grown in good soil and the 

 culture is similar to that given for Raspberries. They 

 grow stronger, however, and therefore require ^more 

 room. For table use, and especially for preserving, 

 there is no more delicious berry grown. 



Early Harvest. More compact in growth than most 

 other varieties and therefore suitable for small 

 gardens. It is very productive, ripens early, and 

 the fruit is of excellent quality. 



Snyder. The fruit is of medium size, sweet and 

 juicy. It has no hard, acrid core, which makes it 

 especially valuable for table use. 



Eldorado. A midseason Blackberry which ripens as 

 the earlier varieties are passing. The fruit is large, 

 and rich in flavor. Blackberries 



Red and Black Raspberries 



Raspberries grow best in a good, rich, loamy soil which should be kept well cultivated for best results. 

 The canes grow tall and interlace, so it is best to tie them to a wire trellis for support and this also helps 

 wonderfully when gathering the fruit. Plant at least 2 feet apart in the row and the rows 4 feet apart. 



Young growths will spring from the base of the plants and only four or five of these should be allowed to 

 remain to make canes the next year. After your crop is picked, cut the old fruiting canes back to the ground 

 and give the young shoots a chance to ripen thoroughly before winter sets in. Shallow baskets should be 

 used when picking Raspberries as the fruit is very tender and easily bruised. 



Cuthbert or Queen Raspberry. Strong and hardy, 



with large, handsome crimson berries, deliciously 



sweet and freely produced. 6 for $1, 12 for $1.75, 



postpaid; 100 for $7.50 D 

 Coliunbian. The largest, finest flavored and most 



productive black Raspberr>' yet introduced. 



6 for $1, 12 for $1.75, postpaid; 100 for $7.50 n 



For table use when fresh 

 and for preserving, no 

 fruit surpasses this 

 delicious Raspberry. 



St Regis — The New Everbearing Raspberry 



St. Regis Everbearing. A unique variety of great 

 value. It ripens very early — in advance of all 

 others, and gives an immense summer crop. It 

 also gives an autumn crop, continuing to produce 

 large, perfect berries of full flavor until the ground 

 freezes. The canes are of ironclad hardihood and 

 of vigorous growth. Berries of good size, rich 

 bright crimson in color, and of excellent quality. 

 Unlike any other variety of the red Raspberries, it 

 yields a moderate crop of berries the first season. 

 // you have room for no other, plant St. Regis 

 Everbearing. Price, 12 for $1.25, postpaid; 100 

 for $7-50 D
