2. It is wonderfully prolific; the first or main crop being far greater than that of any other red variety known, 

 (equalling the most prolific blackcap or purple cane sort). 



3. It gives a crop of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in generous quantities until late in 

 August. By this date berries begin to ripen upon the young, t. e., current year's canes, which continue to produce 

 berries in increasing numbers until late autumn; in fact, until severe frosts occur. 



4. The berries are of a bright crimson, of large size and of surpassing quality — rich, sugary with full raspberry 

 flavor. They are of exceedingly meaty, firm texture and keep in good condition longer, after being gathered, than 

 any other red raspberry. As a shipper it is unexcelled. 



5. The canes are of stocky, strong growth with a great abundance of dark green leathery leaves, that never scald 

 nor sunburn. 



6. It succeeds upon all soils, whether light and sandy or cold heavy clay and the canes are absolutely hardy — 

 always and everywhere — so far as tested. 



When introducing the Cuthbert Raspberry in 1878 and the Golden Queen in 1885, I said they were good varieties. 

 Was I not right? St. Regis, I am fully convinced is a much finer raspberry than were these in their palmy days; in 

 a few words, the most meritorious and valuable raspberry, by far, to date. Any one who plants this variety will waste 

 space and time to plant any other red raspberry; for it is unsurpassed in excellence of fruit and covers the whole sea- 

 son — from earliest until latest. It is not a joke but the exact truth to say, "it is the whole thing." 



BEARS THE FIRST SEASON. 



Unlike any other raspberry, the St. Regis yields a crop of fruit the season it is planted. Plants of it planted in 

 early April gave ripe berries on June 20th of the same year. For four weeks thereafter the yield was heavy and the 

 canes continued to produce ripe fruit freely without intermission, until the middle of October. The berries were 

 large and beautiful, firm and full flavored to the very last. It is veritably the raspberry for the million and the mil 

 lionaire. "There's millions in it."

WHAT OTHERS SAY OF 



Extract from Report of Special Fruit Conunittee, N. J. 

 State Horticultural Society. 



"The St. Regis Kverbearing Raspberry is truly a 

 wonder and marks a great advance in red raspberries. 

 The berries are of good, though not extra large size, 

 are bright in color, very firm and of quality that equals 

 the old Cuthbert. Its distinguishing characteristics are 

 its remarkable vigor of plant and its everbearing property. 

 It is the first red raspberry to ripen, giving ripe berries 

 the past season on June 20th and continued to yield, with- 

 out intermission, until late October; and its summer and 

 autumn crops do not consist of a few scattering berries, 

 but good to heavy pickings all the time. One party who 

 had a small patch — say half an acre — picked and shipped 

 from it two to three pickings each week for four months, 

 and his profits were enormous. The berries in late sum- 

 mer and autumn do not differ perceptibly in size, color 

 or quality from those that ripen in June. 



"The last fruit that we picked of the St. Regis was on 

 November 7th, at which time the plants were in full 

 foliage; although previous to this the mercury had regis- 

 tered 28 degrees."

 The St. Regis Raspberries that I got from you last 

 spring have borne wonderfully well.

 Your circular says St. Regis Raspberry will fruit in 

 four months from planting. In your next circular you 

 can shear off one month or better. * * * j received 

 the plants on February 22d. To-day, May 14th, I picked 

 my first mess. They are fine flavored berries. I ought 

 to say the first berries were ripe six days ago. 



lyEON A. Despland. 



Blackhawk Co., Iowa, June 19, 1911. 

 The 25 St. Regis raspberries that I got of you this 

 spring are all growing and doing well. At this date, 

 June 19th, twenty-two of the twenty-five are loaded down 

 with berries — a few ready to ripen. They are all 

 you claim for them. When I read in the advertisement 

 that they would bear the first year, I laughed at it, but 

 the laugh comes your way now. Never before saw any- 

 thing like them. (Rev.) A. H. Drake. 



THE ST. REGIS BERRY. 



New York, Aug. 8, 191 1. 

 It may be of interest to you to know that the 200 Rasp- 

 berries St. Regis, which you sold us in April, are giving 

 great satisfaction. Knight & Struck. 



New York, May 18, 1911. 

 We are in receipt of a letter, an extract from which 

 may give you pleasure. It says "On the strength of your 

 recommending the St. Regis Raspberry, I was induced 

 to send for some plants. I take pleasure in reporting to 

 you that its qualities were not over done. You can judge 

 for yourself. I got the plants on February 22d and to- 

 day. May 14th, I picked my first mess; less than three 

 months from time of planting — and yet this has been an 

 unusually cool and windy spring."

 Your St. Regis Raspberry is certainly correct.

Campbell Co., Va., Oct. 13, 1911. 

 The St. Regis Raspberry vines bought of you last 

 spring came up to your recommendation. 



P. A. Krise. 



Sussex Co., N. J., Aug. 4, 1911. 

 I had some of the St. Regis Raspberries last spring, 

 not believing they would produce- berries the first season. 

 The month of May was very dry but a few of the plants 

 survived and are now full of ripe fruit. It is all that 

 you recommended it to be, and I intend to get more in 

 my next order. T, E. Conant. 



Middlesex Co., Mass., July 23, 1911. 

 It may be of interest to you to know my experience 

 with the St. Regis canes I had from you in April. I set 

 them in the best of soil and all but two or three are 

 yielding fruit. Of course, it is something of a novelty to 

 have such a result the first year and a good number of 

 my friends propose to plant them also. 



C. C. Hunt. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, May 15, 1911. 

 I must say that the raspberries were the best of any I 

 ever saw. Geo. W. Benckenstein.
