"Honeysweet'^ The New Black Raspberry 



Discovered in 1912 in northern New York and supposed to be a seedling of Plum Farmer 

 and Gregg. The berry is a rich, glossy black. Firm. The fruit pulp surrounding the seeds 

 is so full of thick, sw^eet juice that the texture of the berry is noticeably resistant to pressure. 

 Sweet. Does not require nearly the sugar as other varieties. In pies it is supreme. As a 

 canned sauce and as a jam it is relished as a delicacy. Productive. The many clusters of 

 big black raspberries seem to cover the bushes. Hardy. Passed through the severe fruit 

 tree killing v^eather of Northern New^ York during the winter of 1917-18 without apparent in- 

 jury. Ripens a little earlier than Columbian and can be left on the bushes without injury 

 after ripening longer than can the berries of any other variety. Would advise placing your 

 order at once, as the supply of plants this season is very limited.

Dasheen, the Coming New Vegetable 



300 to 400 Bushels Per Acre. The Potato's Only Rival 



The Dasheen is grown principally as a root crop, the tubers being used the same as Irish 

 potatoes. The tubers sometimes reach a weight of more than 6 pounds. The U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture reports 1,400 bushels from less than 5 acres in Florida, and on their differ- 

 ent experimental grounds have secured yields of 450 bushels to the acre. The "Country Gen- 

 tleman" published the following regarding it: "Not only does the Dasheen promise well as a 

 market crop once the public generally has recognized its merits, but in the meantime it is 

 capable of furnishing food for home consumption. Its food value is higher than the potato, 

 and about fifty per cent more protein and fifty per cent more starch. The flavor of the 

 Dasheen is decidely riche'- and more tempting than that of the potato." 



Land that is too wet for ordinary crops can be used to advantage in growing Dasheens. 

 They may also be successfully grown in hot, dry regions , as has been demonstrated by tests 

 in Arizona and in the desert regions of Southern California. 



The Dasheen can be used in almost any way that Irish Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes can be 

 used. They can be evaporated and ground into meal or flour, and for that purpose they are 

 far superior to the potato, as they are drier. The flour is excellent when used in soups and 

 gruels. Dasheen flour when used with wheat or rye flour makes most delicions griddle cakes, 

 biscuits and bread. The griddle cakes do not become heavy by standing. 



The leaves are large and very ornamental, resembling closely the Caladium Esculetitum, 

 or Elephant's Ear. Every town and city garden should plant a few of these interesting 

 plants to see what the people in other parts of the world raise for food. 



Cultural directions and recipes for cooking, free with each order. 



Choice seed tubers, 3 for 40c; 6 for 75c; 12 for $1.25; 25 for $2.00, prepaid.
