ERSKINE PARK Raspberry-Don't fail to try it 



RASPBERRIES 



Coming immediately after strawberries, when there is 

 a dearth of other fresh fruit, raspberries are much sought 

 after for planting in the garden and also in the field for 

 market. They are easily cultivated and beds seldom re- 

 quire renewing. Their season of ripening is long and fruit 

 always in demand. Plant in good soil and manure freely 

 from time to time. Plant four feet apart each way. Cut 

 out the old shoots each spring. 



10 cents each; 75 cents for 10;; $4.50 per 100; $35 per 1,000. 



ERSKINE PARK. (Everbearing). Of this grand berry I cannot 

 say too much in praise, and I predict that once known, it will be a 

 standard for planting in every garden and considered a necessity. The 

 St. Regis has been the standard everbearing variety up to the present 

 time. In the Erskine Park we have a berry that far surpasses it ; a 

 raspberry that is a delight to eat, each berry being of the largest size, 

 with its delicious melting flesh, full of rich creamy juice, highly flavor- 

 ed and sweet as honey. Conceive the joy and satisfaction of having 

 such berries on your table all through the autumn, the source of won- 

 der to your neighbors, that you can pick the finest raspberries till the 

 snow flies. Owing to my being able to secure a large stock of plants 

 of this variety I am offering them at the price of the other common 

 varieties. Do not fail to include some of these in your order. 



ST. REGIS. (Everbearing). Ripens with the earliest and continues 

 on young canes until Autumn. Color red, flesh firm and meaty. Large- 

 ly planted.

 Quality of fruit nusurpassed. Good for both home and market.

ASPARAGUS 



This is the earliest and finest of the spring vegetables. 

 It is very profitable to grow, both for home use and mar- 

 ket, as a bed once established will remain in good condi- 

 tion for thirty years or more. Have ground in good condi- 

 tion, and place plants 8 inches apart in the row with rows 

 3 feet apart. Plant deep enough so that the crowns are 

 covered with from two to three inches of mellow earth. 

 Enrich and give dressing of 3 ibs. salt to sq. yd. each 

 spring.
