 of its exceptional hardiness of cane, superior

 reliable of late years that I have discarded them 

 entirely. 



' DEWBERRIES 



If to go by mail, add 40c. per 100; post free 

 at dozen rates, if desired. 



Dewberries prefer a light sandy soil, but Avill 

 succeed upon any except wet land. As the vines 

 trail upon the ground, it is necessary to stake 

 them or to use a mulch to prevent the fruit from 

 becoming sandy and unmarketable. If to be 

 staked, plant in rows four feet apart each way : 

 if to be mulched, plant in rows six feet apart and 

 the plants three feet apart in the rows. The work 

 of trimming, staking and mulching shoMld be done 

 in early spring, before the buds have started 

 growth.

 fnan blackberries and as larg- a-; the largest of

«IN TIMES OF PEACE PREPARE FOR WAR." 



There is no better time than the spring months to prepare for the battle \vith the 

 borers — the fruit grower's, or at least the Peach grower's worst enemy. The old saying, 

 " A stitch in tim? saves nine," as well as " An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 

 cure," applies with peculiar force to the use of " BOROWAX " — the fruit grower's friend. 



By the use of "BOROWAX." with small outlay and little trouble. Peach, Plum, 

 Apple. Pear and Quince Trees can be completely protected fiom borers; and it is the only 

 known material that will protect fruit trees from borers and not injure them. 



"Xothing succeedj> like success" is also exemplified by "BOROWAX"; for since 

 it has been proved by fruit growers in different parts of the land to be both efficacious and 

 harmless to trees, its popularity and sale has grown by leaps and bounds. 



I knoAv I am doing every fruit grower a great kindness in urging him to use 

 " BOROWAX." Don't fail to get some this s]iriug or coming summer and don't fail to tell 

 your friends about it — thus doing them the biggest kind of a favor. Prices are as follows: 

 35c. a quart; 60c. a half gallon; $1.00 a gallon (special offer of six gallons for $5.00); 

 $20.00 a half barrel; $35.00 a barrel of 52 gallons. 



Send postal for sixteen-page booklet telling all about it. how to apply, etc.. with 

 letters from those who have used it; nuiiled free.
