FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



Delicious RASPBERRIES Next .Summer 



From Plants Set Out ThisJFallJ 



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 (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 as large as some, are of fine quality 

 and are produced in tremendous quantities not 

 only in early summer (it ripens the earliest of 

 all), but also throughout the fall and right up 

 until freezing weather. In addition to being 

 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. 



LA FRANCE 



A giant in every way, producing immense 

 crops of immense fruits from July until frost. 



The late crops (when the fruit is most highly 

 prized) are heavier than the early ones. The 

 fruit is borne on racemes, one to three feet 

 long, and the same raceme will show the re- 

 markable sight of buds, blooms, fruit just set- 

 ting, green berries, and the ripened fruit. The 

 berries are deep pink, juicy and of delicious 

 flavor. The fully developed fruits are about 

 twice as large as the average. 



Extra selected sucker plants, dozen, $5.00; 

 100, $40.00. 



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. 

 WHITE QUEEN (Everbearing) 



A beautiful white-fruited everbearing variety 

 which in some respects is actually an improve- 

 ment upon St. Regis; its fruit is larger and its 

 quality simply superb. Served with a red- 

 fruited variety, it is surely a delight to the 

 eye and a real treat to the inner man. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, $3.50; 100, 

 $25.00.
