Prepare the ground thoroughly and manure liberally. The red, or upright-growing, varieties should be planted, 

 for field culture, in rows six feet apart, and the plants three feet distant in rows, or four feet apart each way, to be 

 cultivated in hills; in garden culture plant three feet apart each way and restrict to hills. It is best to place two 

 plants in each hill. As soon as planted, cut back the canes to within a few inches of the ground. 



The cap varieties, for field culture, should be planted in rows seven feet apart and three and a half feet 

 distant in the rows; for garden culture, plant four feet apart each way. 



Keep the soil loose and free of weeds throughout the season, cutting out the suckers with a hoe or cultivator, 

 leaving only a single row or three to four canes to the hill for fruiting the following year. Prune the bearing canes 

 of the upright-growing varieties by cutting back one-third to one-half their length and shorten the laterals to six 

 or nine inches. In pruning cap varieties, cut the canes at the middle of the bend. 



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING 



THE "EARLY TILL LATE" RASPBERRY. 

 (Shown on the accompanying colored plate.) 



FIRST, LAST AND ALL THE TIME. 



Awarded a certificate of merit by the American Ixstitute of New Y'ork City. 



Raspberries for four months! That's what you get when you plant the St. Regis — the new everbearing variety. 

 Moreover, they are not only raspberries, but raspberries of the very highest grade — in size, in brilliant crimson color, 

 in firmness, in flavor. 



The variety has been aptly termed "the early 'till late" variety; for it is the first red raspberry to give ripe fruit, 

 while it continues to produce berries without intermission until late in October. 



St. Regis is of pure American blood and of ironclad hardihood; the canes enduring the severest cold uninjured 

 and are wonderfully prolific. Unlike Belle de Fontenay, Henrietta, Marvel of Four Seasons and all other so staled 

 ever-bearing red raspberries that have preceded it, (and many others that are not everbearing), its foliage never 

 suffers by sunburn or scald; nor is its growth of cane impaired by the heat and drought of summer. 



In addition to the bright crimson color and large size of the fruit, it is so firm and rich in sugar that it \^'ill stand 

 shipping two hundred miles, arriving at market in first class order; and it can readily be kept in perfect condition for 

 several days after gathered. In brief, it is such a marvel as to size, beauty and excellence, it has been given the 

 name of St. Regis; the finest hotel in the world, with gfuests who are the most fastidious and discriminating of all 

 epicures. 



The merits of this truly reliable everbearing raspberry may be summarized as follows: 



1. It is the earliest of all red raspberries; beginning to ripen, in Northern New Jersey, from June ISth to 20th — 

 just as the strawberry crop is waning. i
