Small Fruit Plants 



i LA GRANGE 



/. T, Lovett 



A very hardy variety that' is said to have come 

 from Russia. It has been grown for ten years 

 or more in America and fully tested. It is 

 unique in its habit of growth, sending out fruit 

 stems from the ground up, each stem having 

 abundant foliage. Unlike other varieties, which, 

 as a rule, produce the fruit at the ends of the 

 canes and stems, hence is frequently scalded by 

 exposure to the sun, the fruit of La Grange 

 ripens in the shade, and is, therefore, of superior 

 quality. When the first crop of berries are about 

 two-thirds grown, a second crop of blossoms ap- 

 pears, thus giving a long season of fruit. It be- 

 gins to ripen early in July and continues for four 

 or five weeks, yielding heavily. In addition to the 

 extreme hardihood of its canes, it is a very valu- 

 able variety by reason of its large yield, early 

 ripening, long season of fruiting, and particularly 

 the fine size and superb quality of its fruit. Root- 

 cutting plants, dozen, 40c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, 

 $15.00. 



MERSEREAU.— An excellent variety for the 

 home garden. The berries are of good size and 

 superb quality; the canes grow well and are of 

 ironclad hardiness — but, unfortunately, are not 

 very prolific except under certain favorable condi- 

 tions. Midseason. Root-cutting plants, dozen, 

 40c.; 100, $2.00. 



Monroe Co., Pa., April 22, 1913. 

 The Raspberries, Currants, Blackberries and 

 Catawba-Concord Grape ordered from you last 

 year are doing finely. Chas. B. Oakley. 



TAYLOR. — An old variety esteemed for its ex- 

 ceptional hardiness of cane, superior quality, late- 

 ness and productiveness. Berries are of good 

 size and extra fine flavor — rich, sweet and lus- 

 cious. It is one of the most reliable of all the 

 Blackberries and never fails to mature a crop. 

 Dozen, 40c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $12.00. 



WARD 



A descendant of the once famous Kitta- 

 tinny, and the most popular variety in New 

 Jersey at the present time. And well it may 

 be, for it is a grand Blackberry. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, hardy and bears annually, enor- 

 mous crops of large, handsome berries of first 

 quality, that always command the top price in 

 market. 



This very valuable variety originated in Mon- 

 mouth County only a few miles from my nur- 

 sery. I have fully tested it in field culture, and 

 do not hesitate to give it the same emphatic 

 endorsement that has been accorded it by the 

 New Jersey State Horticultural Societv. Root- 

 cutting plants, dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.50; 1.000, 

 $10.00. Sucker plants, dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.25; 

 1,000, $8.50. 



WATT, WILSON AND WILSON, JR.— The 



* preceding varieties are so superior to these that 

 I have discarded them entirely. 



Northampton Co., Pa., March 22, 1913. 

 I received the Star or Wonder Blackberry, St. 

 Regis. Raspberry and William Belt Strawberries 

 yesterday and set them out at once. They were in 

 fine shape and I am well pleased with them. 

 Thanks for the extra St. Regis. Shall want more 

 plants this fall. Elmeb L. Fbench.
