Erie, Kittatinny, Rathbun, Snyder. 



Price: 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



CURRANTS.

 The following are the very best sorts, and are supplied in strong two-year- 

 old plants. 



Clierry, Deep red. 



Fay's Prolific. Color, rich red; a leading variety for home use.

doz.; $12.00 per 100.

yielder.

 doz.; $7.50 per 100. 



FRENCH PRESERVING CURRANT 

 " BAR-LE-DUC." 



Anyone fond of currant jam will appreciate this variety, if only for the 

 reason that the fruit is almost seedless, besides which it has a flavor not 

 approached by any other sort. For a number of years the entire stock was 

 under the control of a French company manufacturing the jam known as 

 Confiture de Bar-le-Duc, which readily sold at double the price of other 

 jams. Strong two-year-old plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



This is preferable 



Rathbun Blackberries. 



Perfection Red Currant. 



GOOSEBERRIES. 



Gooseberries demand rich soil and good culture. A heavy manure mulch around 

 the bushes during the heat of summer will largely prevent mildew. We offer 

 strong two-year-old plants. 

 Industry. Of English origin; succeeds admirably and is a great favorite in this 



country, bearing immense crops of large, reddish berries. 

 Red Jaclcet. An American sort, possessing all the good qualities of the English 



type, and withstanding our severe climatic conditions. A wonderful cropper, 



with clean, healthy foliage. 

 The Pearl. Fruit of large size; color pale green and of excellent quality, either 



as a dessert fruit or for cooking. 



Price : Any of the above, 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



RASPBERRIES. 



Raspberries succeed in any soil that will grow good corn, but respond quickly 

 to liberal treatment; for best results the old wood should be cut out just as soon 

 as the crop has been gathered; this will give more vigor to the young canes for 

 next year's bearing. 



Columbian. Large, dark red, strong, robust and productive. 

 Cumberland. A black cap of exceptionally large size; of extra fine quality. 

 Cuthbert. Large, deep, rich crimson. 

 Kansas. One of the best and largest black caps. 

 Marlboro'. Bright crimson. 



Price : Any of the above, 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



NE^W EVERBEARING RASPBERRY, 

 RED RANERE. 



This is not only the earliest red raspberry but it is a perpetual fruiting variety. 

 Its main crop is greater than any other and continues to bear fruit on the old 

 canes until late in August, at about which time the berries begin to ripen on the 

 young canes of the current year's growth, which continue to bear fruits in increas- 

 ing number until late in Fall. The berries are bright crimson, of good size, 

 excellent quality, of a rich sugary, full raspberry flavor. 10 cts. each; 60 cts. 

 per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



We do not handle Fruit Trees such as Apples, Pears, Cherries, etc .
