LA GRANGE. — This is unique in its habit of 

 growth, sending out fruit stems from _ the 

 ground up, each stem having abundant foliage. 

 Unlike other varieties, which as a rule, produce 

 the fruit at the ends of the canes and stems 

 (hence is frequently scalded by exposure to the 

 sun) the fruit of La Grange ripens in the shade, 

 and is, therefore, of superior quality. When 



yielding continuously from the middle of July 

 until freezing weather. Canes of strong growing 

 upright habit and hardy. The variety needs fur- 

 ther testing with us to determine its true char- 

 acter. R. C. plants, dozen, 60c.; 100, $2.50; 1,000, 

 $20.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, 

 $3.00. 



MERSEREAU.— An excellent variety intro- 

 duced by us over fifteen years ago. The canes 

 are of ironclad hardihood and the berries are 



the first crop of berries are about two-thirds 

 grown, a second crop of blossoms appear, thus 

 giving a long season of fruit. It begins to 

 ripen early in July and continues for four or 

 five weeks, yielding heavily. In addition to the 

 extreme hardihood of its canes, it is a very 

 valuable variety by reason of its large yield, 

 early ripening, long season of fruiting, and 

 particularly the fine size and superb quality, of 

 its fruit. R. C. plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00;
