PERFECTION 



Equally satisfactory in various soils and sec- 

 tions. A strong grower, it is naturally very pro- 

 lific. Ripens in mid-season and the berries re- 

 main in good condition for a long time. The 

 berries are of large size, being clear, bright, 

 sparkling red and with juice of highest quality. 

 1 year old, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 2 years old, 

 each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



Fay's Prolific — Bunch and berry large, bright and 

 sparkling. A regular and prolific bearer. 

 Pres. Wilder — Produces, late in the season, very 

 large bright red, juicy berries of high quality. 

 Red Cross — Exceptionally vigorous growth. Bears 

 great crops of good sized, sparkling red berries. 

 White Grape — By far the best of the white 

 fruited sorts. It is a beautiful translucent white 

 and of mild, good quality. 1 year old, each, 40c; 

 dozen, $4.00; 2 years old, each, 50c; dozen, 

 $5.00.

LOGANBERRIES 



This most interesting hybrid is the result of 

 crossing a wild California Blackberry with a 

 Raspberry, probably the old Red Antwerp. The 

 berries are of great size, equalling large Blackber- 

 ries, and are deep reddish-maroon in color. In 

 flavor, they are rich and refreshing. Dozen, 

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

 dozen, $5.00; 100, $35.00. 



GOOSEBERRIES 



Oregon Champion — Entirely distinct from all 

 others in foliage and habit of growth. It is of 

 slender, willowy growth — not a very strong grow- 

 er. 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 splen- 

 did, strong grower and one that holds its foli- 

 age much later in the season that 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. 

 Downing — The most popular market variety. 

 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 



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. They 

 are too tart to be eaten raw but, combined and 

 cooked with Raspberries, they develop a flavor 

 certain to delight any epicure. Strong plants, 

 dozen, $2.50. 



WINEBERRY 



This interesting native of the wilds of Asia 

 forms a most welcome addition to our fruit 

 gardens. 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. Heavy plants, dozen, 

 $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



Strawberries 



How to Enjoy Abundant Crops of Fine Big STRAWBERRIES 



BECAUSE of their extreme popularity and 

 desirability, it is gratifying to know that 

 Strawberries will grow in any climate and 

 thrive in most any soil, providing reasonable at- 

 tention is given to their slight needs. Soil that 

 is low and sour is about the only exception that 

 must be noted. By careful selection of the va- 

 rieties best suited to your soil and climate, and 

 the inclusion of Everbearers you can be assured 

 of delicious berries for your own consumption. 



or commercial uses, from early June until late 

 frosts. 



Within the limitations of the home garden 

 it pays well to take particular pains in the pre- 

 paration of the soil. The beds should be dug 

 or plowed deeply and liberal quantities of well- 

 rotted manure should be incorporated. Particular 

 care should be exercised to have the surface rich, 

 mellow and well provided with plant food, for 

 the Strawberry plant is a heavy but shallow sur-
