FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



ST. REGIS— New Jersey's Mortgage Lifter 



RASPBERRIES 



— the Quality Fruit for Connoisseurs 



When flavor, aroma, and general palata- 

 bility back up the promise made by the ap- 

 pearance of a berry, we have to acknowledge 

 berry superiority. And Raspberries stand 

 for just that. They are the aristocracy in 

 bcrrydom, if there be such. 



The following varieties represent the peers 

 of the race. They have made friends every- 

 where and it is, perhaps, with pardonable 

 pride that we can lay claim to being the 

 original introducers of some of the best. 



Autumn is the best season of the year for 

 planting Raspberries (excepting tip plants). 



In field culture, plant in rows six feet 

 apart and the plants three feet distant in 

 the rows; requiring 2,420 plants per acre. 

 The cap varieties, however, should be 

 planted in rows seven feet apart and the 

 plants three and one-half feet distant in the 

 rows. In the garden, plant all varieties four 

 feet apart each way. 



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING OR RANERE 



St. Regis is unquestionably, all things con- 

 sidered, by far the most valuable variety of 

 Raspberry that has appeared within the last 

 quarter of a century. Introduced by us in 1910, 

 it has, by sheer merit, forged ahead of all 

 others until it now stands at the top of the 

 list of red varieties. The bright red berries, 

 though not so large as some, are of fine qualitj^ 

 and are produced in tremendous quantities not 

 only in early summer (for it ripens the earliest 

 of all),_ but also throughout the fall and right 

 up until freezing weather. In addition to be- 

 ing extremely hardy and drought-resistant, it 

 thrives on hot sandy soil where most other 

 sorts could not possibly succeed. Unlike most 

 other Raspberries, it yields a moderate crop of 

 berries the first season if planted in autumn or 

 early spring. 



The St. Regis sends up suckers or young 



plants excessively, and unless these are kept 

 down (to a single row of plants or three to 

 four plants to the hill) with hoe or otherwise, 

 treating the surplus ones as weeds, the crop of 

 fruit will be small, both in quantity and size 

 of the berries. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00: 100, 

 $3.50; 1,000, $30.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. Heavy fruiting 

 plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $15.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— Introduced by us in 

 1885. A sport of the Cuthbert and similar to 

 it in all respects except color, which is a clear 

 amber. Of luscious quality and a valuable 

 variety for the home garden. Though not red, 

 we class this with the red varieties, as it is of 

 the same habit and requires the same culture. 



Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $7.50.
