TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS 



GOLDEN QUEEN. Yellow. Undoubtedly the 

 best of the yellow varieties, and the fact that it is a 

 seedling of the Cuthbert is a strong recommendation 

 within itself. It is very productive and hardy; the 

 berries are large in size, beautiful pale yellow in color 

 and excellent in quality; medium to late and con- 

 tinues a long time in bearing. 



LOUDON. Red. This is a ver>' good variety for 

 home use or local market. The canes are vigorous, 

 quite hardy and productive. The fruit is of good 

 size and has a pleasing subacid flavor. 



MARLBORO. Red. This is the standard early 

 variety. As a shipper it is unsurpassed, as it is 

 noted for its firmness both on the bushes and in 

 shipping. It is productive of large, crimson, juicy 

 berries. The bush is an upright, \-igorous plant. 

 It is greatly appreciated in Xew Jersey. The Colo- 

 rado Agricultural Experiment Station says: "The 

 best red variety for Colorado." The Cornell sta- 

 tion and the Aiar\land station give good reports 

 of it. 



PERFECTION. Red. A new Raspberry from 

 New York. It is a very tall, strong grower and has 

 stood 20 degrees below zero without injuring the 

 buds. Berries are of excellent quality, highly col- 

 ored, very bright scarlet, mammoth and uniform in 

 size, and grow in clusters. Immensely productive 

 and continues to bear through a long season. \V. O. 

 & H. W. Davis, leading commission merchants of 

 New York City, say of it: "It is the best Rasp- 

 berry ever shipped to New York. " This season, 

 on a low market, this variety sold at eight cents 

 per pint, while other varieties were bringing but 

 four and five." This is a berry worthy of your con- 

 sideration, and we believe you will not be disap- 

 pointed in it. 



Very Complimentary 

 I have been advised to WTite for your catalogue of Strawberry 

 plants by one of your customers, who says that Mr. .Allen is 

 the straightest nurseri-raan that he has ever found, and 

 I know that he has tried a good many for he ha? 

 been in the fruit-growing business 

 a number of years. — S. J,

ST. REGIS 



This new addition to the Hst of red Raspber- 

 ries has sprung into prominence almost over night, 

 and it is a ver\- valuable addition. It succeeds upon 

 all soils, whether light sandy or hea\'y clay, and the 

 canes are absolutely hard\, always and everywhere. 

 In growth it is strong and stalky, with a great 

 abundance of healthy, dark green foliage; it is the 

 only variety known that gives a crop of fruit the 

 same j-ear planted, and two crops a year thereafter. 

 Plants set in early spring will give a small crop of 

 fruit the fall following. The Long Island Experi- 

 ment Station, says: "St. Regis Raspberr>' this year 

 repeated its record of last year, bearing a good crop 

 in October, although it bore heavily in early sum- 

 mer." About the middle of August it commences 

 to set fruit on the young canes, and bears continu- 

 ously until frost. The berries are large, beautiful 

 and attractive. If you have failed with every other 

 variety of Raspberries, either north or south, plant 

 St. Regis and succeed, whether growing for home 

 use or market. You cannot afford to ignore this, 

 the most wonderful of all red Raspberries. It is one 

 of the best for main crops which is not in the least 

 affected by its fall-bearing qualities. (See colored 

 illustration, page 32.) 



We Pack to Overcome Distance 



The s.ooo Americus received from you last spring were very

Good! We Are Always Glad to Hear From You 



The Strawberry plants I ordered from you came on .April 10. 

 They were fine plants and are growing nicely at this time. I 

 shall order from you again. — Chas. G. Howell, Monongalia

Does Not Expect to Lose a Plant 



Your card of 21st inst., duly received, stating that plants will 

 be shipped that day. They were delivered Friday, the 25th, a 

 slow delivery by express. Perhaps, however, they did not get 

 away on the 2i3t. However, they were delivered immediately 

 after dinner and were all put in the ground at 

 once. That night I personally watered them 

 and next day we got a nice rain and. as the 

 plants were all healthy looking and had 

 nice, clean roots, I do not expect to 

 lose a plant. It is a pleasure 

 to receive and plant such 

 good stock. — John A. B.\iN,
