NOTE 



Our Blackberry plants are either ROOT- 

 CUTTING PLANTS that have been 

 grown from pieces of roots in nursery rows, 

 or they are heavily rooted, bearing age 

 TRANSPLANTED plants. Both are su- 

 perior to ordinary sucker plants, which 

 WE DO NOT GROW. When requested, 

 plants will be sent by mail, provided cash

Superb Raspberries 



CULTURE 



Plant red or upright growing varieties in rows 

 6 feet apart, plants 3 feet apart in the rows, re- 

 quiring 2,420 plants per acre; or 4 feet apart each 

 way, if to be grown in hills. In the garden, 

 plant 4 feet apart each way, restrict to hills, per- 

 mitting but 3 or 4 canes to remain in each hill. 



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING OR RANERE 



Would you not consider that seventeen years 

 of trials and tests were sufficient to prove a Rasp- 

 berry? 



It v/as our pleasure, seventeen years ago, to 

 introduce the St. Regis Raspberry, and today we 

 are just as happy to call your especial attention 

 to this fruit. It is slightly smaller than some of 

 the real large varieties, but the lusciousness of 

 the fruit more than compensates for that. It 

 is an abundant bearer right up to freezing weath- 

 er. If planted early in the spring, or fall pre- 

 ceding, it will yield a moderate crop the first 

 season. 



St. Regis is such a thrifty and rugged bush 

 that it will produce a large number of suckers. 

 Limit these to a single row of plants or not to 

 exceed 3 or 4 to a hill. 



Selected sucker plants, dozen, ^1.00; 100, 

 ^5.00; 1000, ^35.00. Transplanted plants, doz- 

 en, ^1.50; 100, ^7.50; 1000, ^60.00. Heavy 

 fruiting plants, dozen, ^3.00; 100, ^20.00. 



St. Regis Raspberries are very prolific, besides being 

 extremely colorful and luscious.
