RaspberrieslBlackberries 



Among the berries we consider the raspberry to be second only 

 In importance to the strawberry. It should be grown In every 

 family fruit garden. The fruit is very delicious and healthful and 

 is greatly appreciated almost by every lover of fine fruits. It iB 

 fine for pies, canning, jellies and jam. Surely no one will do 

 without raspberries when they can ba so easily had. 



Raspberries for Everyone 

 Everywhere 



Baspberries to can, to make into delicious preserves, jellies, jam — 

 so good they will make the mouth of a mummy water; raspberries 

 for all tlie children — for ail the growm-ups — for everj- meal — when 

 you just can't think of anything for dinner. You can grow them 

 yourself on your oNvn ground at little cost; you can have these 

 fresh on your table from June till November by planting the 

 Everbearing varieties. 



Genuine Everbearing Raspberries 



The Daintiest and Most Delicious of All Fruits 

 THE FAMOUS KING OF MARKET RED RASPBERRY.* Uni- 

 versally admitted as being the LARGEST. MOST PRODCCTI'V'E, 

 BBILLIAJs'T BED and the showest red raspberry grown. Bears 

 heavy crops, spring, summer and fall ; as a spring variety it has 

 no equal as to productiveness, large size, firmness, fine quality 

 and for its brilliant glossy color. This variety is being planted 

 more extensively in Southern Illinois (where it is well known) 

 than all other varieties combined. As an Everbearing variety 

 there is nothing to compare with it; the vines in the fall are so 

 heavily laden with large, brilliant red berries that they are bent 

 to almost breaking in a rainbow shape, and they continue to bear 

 until checked by hard freezing. There is great fortunes to be 

 made growing the fruit for market of this new raspberry. They 

 sold on the Chicago market wholesale for $12.00 to $15.00 a case 

 of 24 pints netting the growers, over $3000.00 an acre; see the 

 Chicago price currents of June 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th. They 

 sell for twice as much as any other variety, with a demand far 

 greater than the supply. There never was a better opportunity 

 for the fruit growers to make big money growing these raspberries 

 than is offered now. As a raspberry for the family fruit garden it 

 has no peer; you can have fine, large, deliriously flavored berries 

 on your table fresh from the vines in early spring, summer and 

 all during the fall months by planting the "King of Market." 



I consider your King of Market Everbearing Baspberry the great-

 any other raspberry.— Harry B. Bow, Prop. I,one Cedar Farm.

A VERY PROFITABLE CROP 



Blackberries are among the best known and most valued of our 

 berries. No fruit of any bind is more wholesome. A liberal use 

 of berries and other fruit will save doctors' bills. Bladsberries 

 should be planted in every home garden; as a money-maker they 

 cannot be beaten; they are easily grown and succeed on any and 

 all the different kinds of soil. 



AMBROSIA BLACKBERRY. The earUest blackberry in cultiva 

 tion. ripening 10 days earlier than Early Harvest, earlier than any 

 dewberry; ripening with the earliest raspberries and before all 

 strawberries are gone. Berries extra large, long, meaty, sweet, 

 mild, of exquisite flavor and surpassing quality ; rich in sugar and

 entire season. Berries very attractive and fine for the table, pies, 

 jellj', jam and blackberry juice. Canes are absolutely always and

 250 cases of 24 quarts per acre; sold on the Chicago market for 

 $8.00 per case on account of their extreme earliness, fine flavor, 

 large size and fine appearance. 



WHAT A PROMINENT FRUIT GROWER SAYS OF AMBROSIA 



The Ambrosia Blackberry is the largest, earliest and best flav- 

 ored blackberry I have ever seen or tasted. I think it is the best 

 money-making blackberry on the market; I am so favorably Im- 

 pressed with this wonderful extra early berry that I am going 

 to plant 500 plants regardless of price. — H. W. Beecher, of 

 Illinois.

Hardy Grapes 



FOR THE MILLIONS AND THE MILLIONAIRES 



The grape is the most healthful of all fruits, and the most 

 highly esteemed for its many uses It can be and should bo 

 grown by everyone who has a garden, a yard, a fence or a walL 

 It can be confined to a stake, bound to a trellis, trained over an 

 arbor, or extended until it covers a large tree or building, and 

 still it yields its graceful bunches of luscious fruit. They are 

 hardy, vigorous, productive and begin to bear the second or third 

 year. Surely no one will allow their family to be deprived of fine, 

 delicious grapes when they can be produced so easily in the 

 garden or yard. 



The Hubbard Grape 



The Famous Table Grape. The finest early black grape, the 

 sweetest, richest and most delicious grape yet produced. The tex- 

 ture is tcndar, pulp melting, flavor pure and refined, brisk, refresh- 

 ing and of honey sweetness. There is no other grape approaches 

 it in fine quality or flavor. Bipening 10 days before Concord, 

 Hubbard is so rich in sugar it is excellent in flavor 10 days before 

 it is ripe. It is beyond doubt the sweetest and best flavored of 

 any grape including the California and European varieties. Bunches 

 extra large, very compact and solid; berry extra large, jet black 

 with a thin firm skin; seeds few and small which separate freely 

 from the tender pulp. The fruit sells in the open market for 

 double the price of any other variety. The vine is a vigorous 

 grower, enormously productive, very often yielding 40 to 60 pounds 

 on a single vine. The fruit is absolutely immune to rot; it has 

 never been known to winterkill, and always yields a full crop and 

 ripens up to perfection. Hubbard is an ideal grape for the North 

 where early extra hardy varieties are wanted, and thrives on any 

 bind of soil and should be planted in every garden. We consider 

 the Hubbard by far the best grape for the table; for jellies, can- 

 ning, preserving and for grape juice it is imsurpassed. The Hub- 

 bard was awarded the Wilder silver medal by the American Pomo- 

 logical Society at its meeting in Berkeley, Cal., in competition 

 with California's best varieties. This grape is in great demand by 

 all grape growers everywhere. 



THE NOTED WILDER SILVER MEDAL HAS BEEN
