Everbearing Raspberries — Continued 

 LA FRANCE 



Another season's tests have but con- 

 firmed our high opinions of this most re- 

 markable sort. Such berries, as are shown 

 above, are borne in great abundance in the 

 fall in the same or even greater abundance 

 than throughout the summer months. La 

 France is extremely hardy. Often 

 reaches the height of nine feet. 



The late crops (when the fruit is most 

 highly prized) are heavier than the early 

 ones. The fruit is borne on racemes. Branch 

 alongside shows the remarkable combination 

 of buds, blooms, fruit just setting, green ber- 

 ries, 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, while individual drupes are two to 

 three times as large as those of the average sort. 

 Extra selected sucker plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $40.00. 

 Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $7.50; 100, $50.00. 



ERSKINE PARK 



A giant in growth and size of fruit, this va- 

 riety does wonders where the soil and climatic 

 conditions are favorable. It should not be 

 planted too far south nor on soil too light, but 

 where the soil is a good quality of loam or clay 

 loam and the summer heat not too great, it is 

 really all that could be desired. As Erskine 



Park is frequently lacking in pollen, it is 

 always w^ell to plant a few of the variety 

 St. Regis near it. To get the best results, it is 

 best to cut the canes of Erskine Park down to 

 within a few inches of the ground each spring. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $5.00; 1,000, $40.00.
