DREER'S SELECT SMALL FRUITS 



FOR FALL PLANTING. READY ABOUT OCTOBER 25th 



Fall is a good time to plant hardy Grapes, Blackberries, Raspberries, etc. The plants being at that time dormant are less liable 

 to injiiry in transplanting than when planted in spring. After planting, mulch with 2 or 3 inches of litter or manure. We do not 

 handle fruit trees, such as apples, pears, cherries, etc. 



Blackberries 



Blackberries respond generously to good treatment. The\- 

 prefer a deep -soil, but will grow and fruit almost anywhere. 



El Dorado. One of the best; large, sweet and tender; very hardy 

 Snyder. One of the oldest and still one of the most popular. 

 Price. SI. 00 per doz.; S7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Two New Hardy Grapes 



The Caco. A cross between Catawba and Concord, which has 

 inherited the best characteristics of both parents developing a 

 luscious fruit which ranks close to the greenhouse grown product 

 in high quality and melting texture. In appearance it is one of 

 the most beautiful of all hardy grapes, berries large, wine-red 

 with abundant bloom carried in large compact bunches. It 

 ripens in advance of Concord and is a strong vigorous grower. 



Champagne. A variety that is being extensively grown in the 

 grape growing districts of New Jersey and which has speci;ii 

 merit not only in the quality of its fruit but is also an exception 

 ally strong grower and very prolific bearer. Its berries are of 

 large size, coppery-red in color and of delicious flavor. 



We can supply strong two-year-old plants of either of the 

 above new sorts. 75 cts. each. 



Six Best Standard Hardy Grapes 



Catawba. Red, sweet and rich, with pleasant musky flavor. 

 Concord. The most popular black grape; succeeds everywhere 

 Lucile. Very large red, of exquisite flavor. 

 Moore's Diamond. Greenish-white, with rich yellow tinge. 

 Moore's Early. Large, black; good quality. 

 Niagara. Berries large, light greenish- white; slightly ambered. 

 Price. Strong selected two-year-old vines, 50 cts. each; $5.00 

 per doz.; S30.00 per 100. 



Raspberries 



Raspberries will succeed in any soil that will grow good corn, 

 but respond quicldy to liberal treatment; for best results the old 

 wood should be cut out just as soon as the crop has been gathered. 

 This will give more vigor to the young canes for next year's 

 bearing. 



Cumberland. A large, black cap of exceedingly fine quality. 

 Cuthbert. Large, deep, rich crimson. 



Everbearing Red Raniere. This is not only the earliest 

 red raspberry, but it is a perpetual fruiting variety. Its main 

 crop is greater than that of any other red variety, and con- 

 tinues to bear untU late in August, at which time the berries 

 begin to ripen on the young canes, which continue to bear 

 fruit in increasing number until late in fall. The berries are 

 bright crimson, of good size, excellent quality, of full raspberry 

 flavor. 



Price. Any of the above, $1.00 per doz.; ST. 00 per 100; $60.00 

 per 1000.
