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 f^et apart each 

 way. Cut out the old shoots each spring. 



10 cents each; $1.23 for 25; $3.50 per 100; $25 per 1000. 



ERSKINE PARK. (Everbearing). Of this grand berry I can- 

 not 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 flavored and 

 sweet as honey. Conceive the joy and satisfaction of having 

 such berries on your table all through the autumn, the source 

 of wonder to your neighbors, th.at you can pick the finest rasp- 

 berries 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. Largely planted. 



HERBERT. A very strong grower, hardy and very produc- 

 tive. Fruit large to very large, obtusely conical, bright to 

 rather deep red; drupes medium size, not crumbling; moderately 

 firm; sweet and sub-acid, sprightly juicy and of good flavor. 

 Quality very good. Season begins a few days before Cuthbert. 

 It has all the good points required in a berry for local market, 

 being hardy, vigorous, productive with fruit of large size, good 

 color and very good quality. 



KANSAS. A valuable early black cap, so strong and hardy as 

 to endure extremes of cold and drought and j^et bear heavy 

 crops. 



CUMBERLAND. A healthy, vigorous grower, throwing up 

 stout, stocky well branched canes that produce immense crops 

 of magnificent berries. Fruit very large, firm, quality about the 

 same as Gregg, keeps and ships as well as any of the blacks. 

 The most profitable market variety. Mid-season. 



GREGG. This has been the leading market variety all over 

 the country. Best for evaporating. A good, strong, all around 

 black cap of good quality. 



PLUM FARMER. A vigorous, stocky growing black cap, very 

 healthy and attractive in appearance; productive, bearing heavy 

 crops of large, fine jet black berries; excellent quality and a 

 good shipper. One of the most valuable market berries, as it 

 commands top prices.
