LA FRANCE — THE GREATEST EVERBEARING RASPBERRY 



OF THE DECADE ! 



Raspberries for Connoisseurs 



Thv majority of Raspberries look and taste very much alike, 

 the difference being largely found in season of bearing, size of 

 fruit and other general characteristics. But there are a few 

 outstanding leaders that stand head and shoulders above the 

 rank and file and we will let you be the judge as to whether 

 our judgment is good or poor ! 



St. Regis Everbearing or Ranere 



Originally introduced by us sixteen years ago, this has 

 proved a great acquisition for all soils and climates. The 

 individual berries, while not so large as some, are of excep- 

 tional quality. The plant is a prolific producer, not only very 

 early in the season but also during the fall, continuing to bear 

 right up to freezing weather. Unlike most other varieties, it 

 yields a moderate crop the first season if planted early in the 

 spring or the preceding fall. 



In addition to all above excellent characteristics, St. Regis 

 is exceptionally hardy and very drought resistant. For this 

 reason it is a great favorite in those sections of the Middle 

 West and West where periodic dry spells put fruit varieties to 

 a severe test. Selected sucker plants, dozen. $1.00; 100, 

 $3.50; 1,000, $30.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 

 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. Heavy fruiting plants, dozen, 

 $3.00; 100, $15.00. 



La France (See illustration above) — Such berries, as are 

 shown in picture above, are borne in the fall in the same, or 

 even greater, abundance as throughout the summer months. 

 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 remarkable combina- 

 tion of buds, blooms, fruit just setting, green berries, ancf the 

 ripened fruit. The berries are deep pink, juicy and of delicious 

 flavor. The fullv developed fruits are about twice as large as 

 the average, while individual drupes arc two to three times 

 as large as those of the average sort. Extra selected plants, 

 dozen, $4.00; 100, $25.00. 



Honey Sweet — Every connoisseur will surely enjoy the 

 fruit of Honey Sweet, which is remarkably rich, sweet, and 

 luscious. They are also of attractive appearance, being jet 

 black, v.ithout bloom, and of good size. Canes are of strong 

 growth and of ironclad hardihood, and yield heavily. Ripens 

 carlv to mid-season, maturing its entire crop quickly. Se- 

 lected tip plants, dozen. $1.50; 100. $7.50.
