 planted in the spring.

 per acre. In the garden, p'ant in hills ffMv feet apart each way. The cap varieties, in field culture, 

 should be planted in rows seven feet apart and three and a half feet distant in the row. 



An everbearing red variety of remarkable naerit. As one grower put it, "it is the first, last and 

 all the time Raspberry;" for it gives ripe berries earlier than any other kind and continues to do so 

 continuously until the ground is frozen in late autumn. 



St. Regis is of pure American blood and of ironclad hardihood— the canes enduring the severest 

 cold uninjured and are very prolific. Its foliage ne.er suffers by sunburn or scald, nor its growth of 

 cane impaired by the heat and drought of summer. 



In addition to the bright crimson color and large size of the fruit, it is so firm and rich in sugar 

 that it will stand shipping two hundred miles, arriving at market in first class order; and it can readi- 

 ly be kept in perfect condition for several days after being gathered. In brief, it is such a marvel, 

 in beauty and excellence It has been given the name St. Regis; the finest hotel in the world, with 

 guests who are the most fastidious and discriminating of all epicures. 



The merits of this truly reliable everbearing raspberry may be summarized as follows:— 



1. It is the earliest of all red raspberries; beginning to ripen from June 15th to 20th. 



2. It is wonderfully prolific; the first or main crop being far greater than that of any other red 

 variety known, (equalling the blackcap, or purple cane sort;. 



3. It gives a crop of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in generous quan- 

 tities until late in August. By this date berries begin to ripen upon the young, i. e , current year s 

 canes, which continue to produce berries in increasing numbers until late autumn. 



4. The berries are of a bright crimson, of large size and of surpassing quality — rich, sugary with 

 full raspberry flavor. They are of exceeding meaty, firm texture and keep in good condition longer, 

 after being gathered, than any other red raspberry. As a shipper it is unexcelled. 



5. The canes are of stocky, strong growth with an abundance of dark green leathery leaves that 

 never scald nor sunburn 



6. It succeeds upon all soils, whether light and sandy or cold heavy clay and the canes are abso- 

 lutely hardy. 



Unlike all other Raspberries, the St. Regis yields a crop of fruit the first season. Plants of it 

 put out in April gave ripe berries on June 20th of the same year, and continued to do so, without 

 intermission, until late in October. Raspberries for four months I Thafs what everybody gets wlio 

 plants the St. Regis. Moreover, they are raspberries of the very highest grade — in size, in brilliant 

 crimson color, in firmness, i flavor 



During the forty years I have been engaged in the nursery business, many valuable Raspberries 

 have been placed upon the market, but during that long period there has not been introduced by me, or 

 anybody else, a kind of such great value, all things considered, as the St. Regis Raspberry. It is 

 paying off mortgages and otherwise bringing prosperity to fruit growers in all parts of the country 

 and will continue to do so until the markets of this great land are fully supplied with its fruit— many 

 years in the future; and not only is it an unqulified success in New Jersey, but I have letters from al- 

 most every State in the Union attesting its great value.

'till late" Raspberry.
