 35 cents per dozen ; 75 cents per 100 ; $3.50 per 1000. 



OREGON EVERBEARING. — Is a vigorous grower and adapted to all soils and locations. On the 



Pacific Coast it is a constant, abundant and continuous bearer of handsome large berries, of good qualities, 



from early May till killed by frost, and claimed to show the same persistent bearing properties wherever 



tested in various sections of the United States. A most wonderful and valuable novelty, producing delicious fruits 



the entire season, very desirable for family use, and sells at high figures in market. A customer writes : "After 



a thorough trial the past summer we more than ever endorse this wonderful strawberry." Our plants have won 



the praise and admiration of every one who saw them. The first crop of fruit was ready to pick May 29; they 



have continued to blossom and bear fine large luscious berries all through June and July, and at this writing, 



August 1st, the vines are full of blossom*, half grown berries, berries in all stages of growth and many fit for the table, 



and from present indications they will continue to produce fruit throughout August, September and October, up 



checked by frost. Certainly worthy of extended cultivation, either for market or home use. 10 cents each; $1.00 



per dozen ; $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000.

 early and very large. A rare combination of beautiful conical form, deep scarlet, and colors all over at once. Very 

 firm, an excellent shipper, and delicious quality. A strong staminate or perfect blossom. On account of its rich color and 

 firmness is desirable for canning and preserving. 10 cents each ; $1.00 per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per $1000. 



E. P. ROE. — Is an exceedingly productive, strong, vigorous growing plant ; berries of large size, rich crimson color, 

 of excellent flavor, ripening very late. The delicious quality, large size and late ripening will make the E. P. Roe a very 

 desirable variety for family use, and valuable for market. In full bearing when almost all other varieties are gone. 10 cents 

 each ; $1.00 per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; $25.00 per 1000.

THOMPSON'S EARLY PROLIFIC RED RASPBERRY is probably the best early red Rasp- 

 berry. Plant an excellent grower, canes erect, stout and hardy ; foliage bright green, tough and endures heat 

 and drought remarkably well, and is well adapted to planting in the South. Berries of good size, bright 

 •crimson color and very attractive ; very much resembling Brandywine and carrying equally well. It is very 

 productive, and the earliest red Raspberry I know of; coming to ripening just as the Strawberry season 

 as over Highly recommended by all the leading Agricultural Stations. 



10 cents each ; 4 for 25 cents ; 50 cents per dozen ; $1.00 per 100 ; $10.00 per 1000. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— This new Raspberry originated on the farm of Ezra Stokes, in Camden County, 

 New Jersey, and is described by him as an improved Cuthbert, of a beautiful yellow color. He says it may 

 be fittingly described as a variety of six cardinal virtues, viz.: 1. In flavor it rivals that venerable and 

 highest in quality of all Raspberries, Brinkle's Orange. 2. In beauty it transcends all other Raspberries I 

 have ever seen; being of a rich, bright, creamy yellow, imparting to it a most appetizing effect, both in 

 the crate and on the table. 3. In size it challenges the large Cuthbert. 4. In vigor it fully equals its parent 

 (the Cuthbert), and resists heat and drought even better. 5. In productiveness it excels the prolific Cuth- 

 <bert. 6. In hardiness it has no superior. In past unprecedentedly severe winters several rows of it stood 

 ■wholly unprotected at one side of a large field of Cuthberts, all of which were badly killed, while not 

 a branch oi the Golden Queen was injured. 10 centseach ; 4 for 25 cents ; 50 cents per doz.; $1.50 per 100; 



810.00 per 1000.

oughly tested in field culture where it originated, and also in New Jersey and proved entirely hardy ; 

 very early in ripening, enormously productive; a strong grower ; fruit equalling the Gregg in 

 firmness, size and quality, with less bloom. It is practically free from thorns, they being so 

 few and so small to hardly be noticed — a very desirable feature. The canes almost as smooth and 

 clean as a willow. It is, all things considered, a great improvement over all other Black Caps. 



$1000.00 was paid for the control and original stock of this valuable berry.
