ST. REGIS EVERBEARING OR 

 RANERE 



Would you not consider that seventeen years of 

 trials and tests were sufficient to prove a Rasp- 

 berry.*^ 



It was our pleasure, seventeen years ago, to intro- 



duce the St. Regis Raspberry, and today we are 

 just as happy to call your especial attention to this 

 fruit. It is slightly smaller than some of the real 

 large varieties, but the lusciousness of the fruit 

 more than compensates for that. It is an abundant 

 bearer right up to freezing weather. If planted 

 early in the spring, or fall preceding, it will yield a 

 moderate crop the first season. 



St. Regis is such a thrifty and rugged bush that it 

 will produce a large number of suckers. Limit 

 these to a single row of plants or not to exceed 3 

 or 4 to a hill. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 

 1000, $35.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 

 100, $7.50; 1000, $60.00. Hea\T fruiting plants, 

 dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00.

 of large size, deep crimson, moderately firm, high
