THE Strawberry plants reached me in fine condition, even the leaves were not wilted and they grew as 

 if they had not been transplanted to another zone. — Mrs. E. G. Smith, Louisiana.

 McDonald. Earlier than Early Harvest. Berries 

 resemble dewberries. Vines are vigorous; flowers 

 imperfect and should be pollenized by Austin dew- 

 berry. 



Nanticoke. Berry the size of Eldorado; very 

 sweet and juicy. Excellent for table 

 use or short shipments. Season is pro- 

 longed to September. Plant is a very 

 vigorous grower and a good bearer. 



Rathbun. Berries of good flavor; 

 small seeds and soft core. The firm 

 berries make it a good shipper.

 the most popular varieties ever 

 introduced. The berries are 

 firm, juicy, sweet and of 

 good quality. This is un- 

 doubtedly the most exten-

RASPBERRIES 



WATT BLACKBERRIES 



Red Raspberries thrive in strong soil, which is inclined to hold moisture. 

 They have been grown well on sandy soil, that has been well fertilized with 

 stable manure. If manure is not available, bone meal is especially valuable. 

 Protection may be necessary in very severe climates. Plant in rows 6 feet 

 apart, 3 feet in the row. Black Raspberries thrive in moist soil. The ends 

 of long canes should be pinched back to promote side shoots. Quite hardy. Plant in rows 5 to 6 feet apart, 

 33^2 to 4 feet in the row. Purple Raspberries should be treated the same as the blacks. They |. are quite 

 vigorous and will often produce where both the others fail.

 lent quality; excellent for home use and market. See cover.

 ling of Cuthbert. Very fine quality and should be
