RASPBERRIES 



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

 Autumn is the best season of the year for planting Raspberries. 



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 RAN ERE 



A unique red Raspberry and, all things considered,^ the most valuable one that has appeared in 

 the last quarter of a century. It was introduced by us in 1910 and by sheer merit has forged ahead 

 by leaps and bounds until it' now stands at the top of the list of red varieties. The berries, though 

 not of largest size, are bright red and of excellent quality. It ripens very early — in advance of all 

 other red varieties — and the canes, in addition to being vary hardy and drought-resistant, are exceed- 

 ingly prolific. Its leaves do not scald nor rust, hence it succeeds on hot, sandy soil, where other 

 varieties fail. 



Besides giving an immense crop in summer, it also gives an autumn crop ; continuing to pro- 

 duce perfect berries of full flavor and in generous quantity until the ground freezes. 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 nlants 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. $4.50; 1,000. $35.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $6.00. 

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



l-^ ERSKINE PARK (Everbearing) 



After having given this variety two years' severe test, we are frank to state that, exceptmg 

 where the soil is very light, we believe this remarkable red raspberry will_ give better results than 

 any other everbearing variety, not even excepting our wonderful introduction, St. Regis. In growth 

 it is simply immense; in hardiness there is nothing lacking; in fruitfulness it is marvellous; m size 

 of f'-uit the largest we have ever seen. What more could be asked? To get the best results from 

 Erskine' Park it is best to cut the canes down to within a few inches of the ground each spring. 

 Selected sucker plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $lo.UU.
