RASPBERRIES 



Plants will be sent by mail if desired, provided cash is sent for postage, as per table on page 19. 



Autumn is the best season of the year for planting all Raspberries, except the cap varieties; which 

 succeed best planted in spring. 



In field culture plant in rows six feet apart and the plants three feet distant in the rows; requir- 

 ing 2,420 plants per acre. The cap varieties, however, should be planted in rows seven feet apart and 

 the plants 3% feet distant in the rows. In the garden, plant all varieties four feet apart each way. 



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING (Ranere) 



A remarkable Raspberry and all things considered, the most valuable variety that has appeared 

 in the last quarter of a century. The berries, though not of large size, are bright red and of excellent 

 quality. It ripens very early — in advance of all the other red varieties — and the canes in addition to 

 being exceedingly hardy and drought resistant, are exceedingly prolific. It has rich green foliage that 

 does not scald or rust, hence it succeeds on hot, sandy soil where other varieties fail. 



Besides yielding an enormous crop in June, it gives also a moderate one in the autumn, and unlike 

 other red Raspberries, it produces a crop of berries the first year or the season it is planted. 



Being the introducer of this most valuable Raspberry, I am headquarters for plants of it. It has 

 grown in favor so rapidly I was unable to fill all orders for it the past spring. However, I am pleased 

 to state my present supply is doubtless sufficient to meet all demands.

 Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50; 1,000, $25.00.
