New Continuous' Fruiting Red Raspberry, 



ST. REGIS. ReadyQct - 25th - 



Fruits from June to Frost. 



It succeeds upon all soils, and the canes are 

 absolutely hardy. 



We have pleasure in offering this fine, new, 

 almost sensational fruit, destined we believe to 

 be the most popular ever introduced. 



It is the earliest of all red raspberries; begin- 

 ning to ripen in New Jersey from June loth to 

 20th — just as the strawberry crop is wani .g-. 

 It is wonderfully prolific; the first or main crop 

 being far greater than that of any other red 

 variety known. 



It fruits on the old canes in generous quantities 

 until late in August. By that date berries begin 

 to ripen upon the young canes, which continue 

 to produce berries in increasing numbers until 

 severe frost. 



The berries are a bright crimson, of large size 

 and surpassing quality — rich, sugary with full 

 raspberry flavor. They are of exceedingly meaty, firm text- 

 ure and keep in good condition longer after being gathered,, 

 than any other red raspberry. 



The canes are of stocky, strong growth with a great 

 abundance of dark green leathery leaves, that never scald 

 nor sunburn. (See cut.) 



Price, strong transplanted plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per 

 doz., $12.00 per 100.
