True-to-Name Small-Fruit Plants

Cuthbert. I doubt if there is any variety that will surpass it 



St. Regis. 



RASPBERRI 

 Plum Farmer. Black. Berries thick-meated, 

 firm, with a bloom similar to Gregg; large in size 

 and attractive when picked ready for market. 

 Maturing its entire crop in a very short period 

 makes it one of the most profitable of the early 

 market sorts. 



Red. This promises to be the 

 most valuable addition to the list 

 of Red Raspberries. It succeeds upon all soils, 

 whether light and sandy or heavy clay, and the 

 canes are absolutely hardy always and everywhere. 

 The canes are of a stalky, strong growth with a 

 great abundance of healthy, dark green foliage. The 

 only variety known that gives a crop of fruit the 

 same year planted, and two crops a year thereafter. 

 Plants set in early spring will give a small crop of 

 fruit the fall following, and the next spring a big 

 crop equaling that of any red Raspberry known. In 

 size, quantity and quality 

 to say nothing of its fall- 

 bearing qualities, it is 

 ahead of anything that I 

 know of as a spring- or 

 summer-bearing variety. 

 About the middle of 

 August it commences to 

 set fruit on the young 

 canes, and bears continu- 

 ously from then until frost. 

 The berries are large, 

 beautiful and attractive. 

 If you have failed with 

 every- other variety of 

 Raspberry-, 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 Rasp- 

 berries. 



Royal Purple. Purple. 

 Undoubtedly the great- 

 est advance yet made 



ES, continued 



in purple Raspberries. Originated in Indiana with a 

 grower who says: "It surpasses anything I have ever 

 seen in the Raspberry line. The original bush stands 

 in a stiff blue grass sod and has borne thirteen succes- 

 sive crops, and some of the time in winter the mercury 

 has gone thirty-five degrees below zero. The bush 

 is of healthy growth, and bears the largest berries 

 of any I have seen." The canes are model growers, 

 vigorous and healthy. The color of the bark is a 

 deep, rich red, unlike Columbian or Shaffer, and the 

 canes are smooth except near the roots. The berries 

 are large, purple in color, very firm, good shippers 

 and good keepers. It is firm enough to be handled 

 and shipped to near markets in quart baskets. They 

 do not crumble when picked, and present a better 

 appearance in the basket than most purple sorts. 

 The bulk of the crop comes about two weeks later 

 than Columbian.
