ST. REGIS RANERE EVERBEARING 



St. Regis Everbearing or Ranere 



St Regis' particular merit lies in its adapta- 

 bility to a great range of soils. Introduced by 

 us about twenty-five years ago. Growers from 

 coast to coast now proclaim it the greatest ever- 

 bearing varietv introduced in the last quarter 

 of a century. 'The quality of the berries is ex- 

 ceptional, though their size is not so large as 

 that of a few other sorts. 



The plant produces fruit in abundance from 

 very early in the season until freezing weather. 

 Unhke most varieties, it yields a moderate 

 crop the first season, if planted early m the 

 Spring or the preceding Fall.

CATHERINE (Everbearing)~Recently intro- 

 duced. One of the best Red Everbearing Rasp- 

 berries that we have ever grown. Like its pa- 

 rent (the St. Regis) it is a persistent producer 

 from early Spring to late Fall. Berries very 

 large and of firm quality. Sel. Sucker Plants,

CHIEF— The Chief Raspberry was intro- 

 duced bv the State Fruit Breeding Farm of 

 Minnesota. The canes are very hardy and can 

 be grown successfully in cold climate without 

 winter protection. Chief is Mosaic proof so far 

 as we know and will not take on mildew. The 

 fruit is of very fine flavor and very firm. An 

 official check shows Chief yielded nearly fifty 

 cases of fruit more per acre than Latham. Sel.

 variety, introduced by us in 1878, was for 

 twenty-five years the most widely planted rasp- 

 berry. Succeeding in the North and South 

 alike, it is still the leading market variety of 

 this country. Large, bright red and prolific, 

 with a sweet, luscious flavor. Sucker plants,

 ivith such extreme care. If I ever start an--
