are -productiveness and hardiness of cane, united 

 with large size, jet black color and high quality 

 of fruit. The originator says it surpasses that 

 standard of excellence, the Cumberland, and the 

 fruit sells on an average of 25c. per quart whole- 

 sale. Canes never known to have disease of any 

 kind or to winter kill. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50. 



''Kansas . — The most popular black Raspberry 

 on account of its being so reliable with such fine 

 fruit. The canes are of strong growth, hardy and 

 wonderfully prolific — (much earlier than the once 

 popular Gregg) and the berries do not have the 

 objectionable bloom or mouldy appearance of some 

 varieties. Fruit of large size, jet black, firm, 

 sweet, rich and excellent. One of the very best 

 shippers. Ripens in midseason and matures its 

 great crop quicklv. (See cut.) Dozen, 35c.; 100, 

 $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



LAVINEBERRY (Japanese Raspberry).— Decidedly 

 "unique and valuable as an ornamental plant as 

 well as for its beautiful fruit. It is a strong, ram- 

 pant grower, the canes being thickly covered with 

 purplish-red hairs. Berries are of medium size, 

 the color of sherry wine, sparkling, with a brisk, 

 pleasant, sub-acid flavor. Canes of strong growth, 

 as hardy as an oak. and yield enormously for a 

 long season. Excellent as a dessert fruit, but 

 especially valuable for canning and for making a 

 delicious wine. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50. 



KANSAS RASPBERRY 



YaxBubex Co., Ark., Dec. 7, 1912. 

 In the spring I bought of you 24 St. Regis Rasp- 

 berries, on actual count found 30. We had all 

 winter and late up into spring cold rains that 

 delayed the planting of the plants, and when I 

 did get them planted we had a real hard rain, 

 accompanied with hail from the size of bird 

 shot to turkey eggs, which succeeded in packing 

 the ground, after which we had no rain for six 

 weeks. With all of this for the plants to con- 

 tend with they put on fruit in June and contin- 

 ued to September. This demonstrated to me 

 that it is beyond any question the plant for the 

 Ozarks and have ordered 2,.500 plants for fall 

 planting and will make another order in the 

 spring. .1. V. Ormond. 



Wayne Co., Mich., Oct. 22, 1912. 

 The berry bushes I ordered of you a year ago 

 are doing fine. M. Miexk. 



Washixgtox, D. C, August 17. 1912. 

 Please let me know what you will sell me 500 

 St. Regis Raspberry this coming fall. The 100 

 I bought of you are growing fine — robust and 

 healthy, and I telieve they £fre the coming Rasp- 

 berry. B. B. Earxshaw. 



Polk Co., Iowa, April 4, 1912. 

 I have received the St. Regis Raspberry plants; 

 came in good shape, nice plants, good count.

 Many kinds of blackberries will succeed, 

 not only on good fruit land, but even upon 

 the most sandy, porous soil. They require 

 the same treatment as recommended for 

 raspberries. In field culture, plant in rows 

 from five to seven feet apart (according to 

 the strength of the variety), and three feet 

 distant in rows; in garden culture, plant in 

 rows five feet apart, and plant three feet 

 distant in row^s. The pruning should be 

 governed by the grow^th of the cane, and 

 severe. The canes should be headed back 

 in summer when three feet high, by pinch- 

 ing off the tops, thus causing them to throw out side branches; but 

 when this has been neglected cut back in winter or early spring, the 

 bearmg canes one-third or more, according to the growth the plants 

 have made, and cut back the side branches to twelve or fifteen inches. 



Root cutting plants (those grown from pieces of the roots in nursery rows) are so far superior to the 

 ordmary or ''sucker" plants, that those who have used them will not plant the last named at anv price. 

 The two accompanying cuts show the difference. Owing to the vigor and excellent root system of "root cut- 

 ting ' plants, they not only live when planted for fruiting, almost to a plant (the failures of suckers are usually 

 great), but the growth is so much stronger that a whole year is gained in getting the field into full bearing. 

 Root cutting blackberry plants are grown in very large quantities at the Monmouth Xurserv.
