OTHER BERRIES USEFUL FOR 

 DESSERT AND PRESERVING 



Plants will be shipped by mail, provided cash is 

 sent for postage as per table on page 79. 



LOGANBERRIES 



If to be staked, plant in rows five feet apart each 

 way; if to be mulched, plant in rows six feet apart 

 and the plants three feet apart in the rows. 



This most interesting hybrid is the result of cross- 

 ing a wild California Blackberry with a Raspberry, 

 probably the old Red Antwerp. It ripens very 

 early in the summer, immediately following Straw- 

 berries, affording an opportunity for making pies 

 and jellies before the earliest Raspberries are ready. 

 If to be eaten raw, the berries, in order to be at their 

 best, should be permitted to become quite ripe. 



The berries are of great size, equalling large black- 

 berries, and are deep reddish maroon in color. In 

 flavor, they are rich and refreshing — a mingling of 

 the raspberry and blackberry (the raspberry pre- 

 dominating) and yet distinct from either; mellow 

 and refined , melting and without core . The flavor is 

 so luscious, novel and rich, the berry cannot fail to 

 please everybody as a dessert fruit. For canning 

 it is superior to all the other Small Fruits, and for 

 jellies and jams it has no equal . Strong tip plants, 

 dozen, $4.00; 100, $25.00. Heavy transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $35.00. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 



Another delightful, everbearing cane-fruit for 

 which we are- indebted to the Orient. Where the 

 seasons are very cold, it acts like a herbaceous 

 perennial, plants freezing to the ground and coming 

 up again the following spring. — Continued above. 



Gooseberries 



An Ideal Pie Berry for 

 fc v Even Small Gardens 



The Gooseberry plant itself is quite ornamental, having 

 beautiful, deep green, leathery foliage, not unlike that of 

 Hawthorne. In addition, the bushes are generally laden with 

 handsome oblong globes of varying colors which form the 

 "makings" of delicious pies or delightful preserves, as the 

 case may be. Gooseberries require reasonably rich soil. 

 They are greatly benefitted by mulching and should never be 

 cultivated deeply. We offer below what extensive tests have 

 proven to be the best varieties. 



OREGON CHAMPION 



Entirely distinct from all others in foliage "and 

 habit of growth. It is of slender willowy growth — 

 not a very strong grower. The berries when fully 

 ripe are pale amber, of excellent quality and of good 

 size. 1 year, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 2 years, 

 each, 75c; dozen, $7.50. 



CARRIE — It is a marvel of productiveness, a 

 splendid strong grower and one that holds its foli- 

 age much later in the season than do most others. 

 When ripe, it is maroon in color and of good quality, 

 though rather small. 1 year, each, 30c; dozen, 

 $3.00. 2 years, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00; heavy 

 fruiting size, each, 75c; dozen, $7.50. 



DOWNING — The most popular market va- 

 riety. The pale green berries are of large size and 

 fair quality. 1 year, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 

 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



Strawberry, Raspberry — Continued. 

 This is a most decorative contribution to our gar- 

 dens, with its endless succession, from July until 

 frost, of flowers, fruits in all stages oi" development 

 and ornamental foliage throughout the season. It 

 bears its sparkling large crimson berries from July 

 until frost. They are too tart to be eaten raw but, 

 combined and cooked with Raspberries, they de- 

 velop 'a flavor bound to delight any epicure. The 

 berries are borne singly, or in clusters, and as a 

 continuous crop. Strong plants, dozen, $2.50. 



WINEBERRY 



This interesting native of the wilds of Asia forms 

 a most welcome addition to our fruit gardens. Not 

 only are both plants and berries quite ornamental, 

 but the berries are exceptionally useful in making a 

 delightful wine as well as most palatable preserves. 

 Rather acid as a dessert fruit unless quite ripe, at 

 which stage it resembles a cherry-red Raspberry. 

 Bears tremendous crops over a long season. 

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