RASPBERRIES 



( Continued ) 



LA FRANCE 



This is justifying every claim ever made for it and 

 fully maintaining its position as one of the very 

 finest in its class. Such berries, as are shown in pic- 

 ture on top of page 10, are borne in the fall in the 

 same, or even greater, abundance as 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 at times 

 even heavier than the early ones. The fruit is borne 

 on racemes. Branches frequently show the remark- 

 able combination of buds, blooms, fruit just setting, 

 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 aver- 

 age, while individual drupes are two to three times 

 as large as those of the average sort. Extra se- 

 lected plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $40.00. 



KEVITT'S HYBRID — A strong-growing, large- 

 fruited variety that appears to be perfectly hardy. 

 It was one of the few varieties to come unharmed 

 through the recent severe winters. Ripens here 

 about June 15th and continues for about four weeks. 

 It is indeed a very promising red-fruited sort. Se- 

 lected sucker plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



THE REDPATH RASPBERRY — This new- 

 comer comes to us from Minnesota where it has won 

 for itself a fine reputation due to hardiness and great 

 yielding power. It surely is a vigorous grower and, 

 as it can almost always be depended upon to produce 

 a fair crop of berries the first year, it deserves a place 

 in every garden. 



Plants set out this spring will produce a fair crop 

 of fruit this coming fall. It is the largest of all extra 

 early red Raspberries, bearing dark red berries of 

 great substance, often measuring an inch in diameter. 

 Its yielding period expends almost over six weeks 

 and, moreover, it combines excellent table qualities 

 with good shipping characteristics. Selected sucker 

 plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



VICTORY 



Taught by experience, we are, as a rule, slow to 

 become overenthusiastic about relative newcomers 

 among berries. But on the basis of recent reports 

 we are inclined to believe that ultimately Victory 

 will score a strong victory in its own behalf. It is 

 an extremely hardy, most attractive red variety, of 

 record yielding power. Has endured 30 degrees 

 below zero without injury. Plants of strongest 

 growth, backed up by an exceptional root system 

 that stands for great resistance against hot or dry 

 weather. Altogether a decidedly worth-while acqui- 

 sition, judged on the basis of ten years' records on 

 the originator's grounds. Selected sucker plants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. Heavy transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. 



ERSKINE PARK (Everbearing) — Very sturdy 

 in growth with fruit of remarkable size. It should 

 not be planted too far south nor on soil too light. As 

 it is frequently lacking in pollen, plant a few of the 

 variety St. Regis near it. For best results, cut canes 

 down to within a few inches of the ground each 

 spring. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $8.00. 



REDPATH 



A GREAT BEARER, PARTICULARLY LATE IN THE SEASON !
