MOST NORTHERN NURSERIES IN AMERICAf^ 



RASPBERRIES. 



Of all the fruits grown by the amateur or professional, none will give greater retaras for the 

 time and money expended than these. They thrive well everywhere and produce enorinous crops 

 ot Iruit, which always sells at good prices. We belie-ve there is no surer road to fortune for any * 

 vonng: farmer i-esiding near anj^ of the laroe cities of the cotintry, than to pl.'iiit several acres of 

 small fruits for market purpose's. The earliest and latest ripening varieties ure usually the most 

 prolitable, though mid-season sorts should also be planted to give a succession throughout the 

 fruiting season. 



CULTURE — Plant in good soil, and manure from tithe to time freely. The hills should not be v 

 less than fotir feet apart each way, with two or three plants in a hill. Cut out the old and weak 

 shoots each year, preserving not over six for fruiting. If the location is so much exposed that 

 the plants are inclined to kill down seriously, the^- may be bent over in the fall, on mounds of 

 earth formed at one side of the hills and covered sufficiently to keep them down until spring. 

 Surplus suckers take sti-ength from the beai-ing plants. They should be cut away or hoed up 

 frequently. One acre, 4- feet apart each way, contains 2723 hills, requiring about 550© 

 plants. Where customers wish, we will make selections for one, two, live or ten acre 

 plats, giving such varieties as our wide experience has shown to be most desirable fdr 

 their needs and localitv.

I rkllHnn A Nforthern variety, which will 

 L^UUUilll. take the place of aU other Red 

 Raspberries, with the exception of our Black 

 Hills. It was originated by F. W. Loudon, of 

 Wisconsin, who says; "The Loudon is a seedling 

 of Turner, crossed with Cuthbert; berry is large, 

 color beautiful. It yields 200 buslielsto the acre, 

 and may be shippe'd to New Orleans in good 

 shape." 75c per doz., postpaid; $1.50 per 100,

 fect variety, of very vigorous growth, the canes 

 attaining a height of 6 feet, which do not winter 

 kill in the least. Berries of laree size, handsome 



The canes of all these varieties should be cut back to within a few inches of 

 the ground immediately after planting. Cut out all wood as soon, as the can6s 

 are through fruiting, to give more vigor to the young canes. Surplus suckers 

 take strength from the bearing plants. They should be cut away or hoed up 

 frequently. Unless otherwise noted, 50c per doz postpaid, $1 50 per 100, $10.00 

 per SOOO, by express or freight. 



RIaf ir HI5y« !t originated in Dakota and is almost as hardy as an oak. 

 UlOl^IV The fruit is of a rich, red color, extra large and of the 



most delicious quality. One of its best points is its wonderful yields and great 

 length of time it will bear during the summer. The plants 'are vigorous in 

 growth and so hardy that they have stood our severe winters in theNorthwest 

 without any protection at all, always bearing heavily and surpassing any 

 other sort in both yield and flavor. For large planters and those who wish to 

 grow perfect fruit for the market we cannot recommend this sort too highly, 

 for we know by actual experiments at our nurserv that it will outvield any red 

 sort and the fruit will sell at a higher price in aiay and all markets. For the 

 home garden its many good qualities commend it to all housewives who want

 June and continues in crc,^ cill .\ugust. Per iboo, 312.50. 

 RELIANCE — .'Vn old and reliable variety. Fruit, large, rou"d, dark red 

 with a sprightly, acid flavor. 



RANCOCAS — A very productive, mid-season variety, which ripens its 

 fruit very evenlv. 



t« HAFFER'S C0L05SA L-A colossal fruit, both in the plant and the> 

 aerry, and especially adapted to the South. Berries verv large, of 

 dull, purplish, unattractive col or, of a I'ich, luscious flavor. Unsur- 

 passed for jams, jellies, canning, etc. Ripens rather latein the season. 

 TURNER— Very productive and hardy, ofgood size, light, handsome 

 red and ot fine flavor. 



OrilHf^n OllPkPkfl This variety is a seedling of the Cuthbert, 

 VjyiUCll but the color of the fruit is a rich golden 



yellow. The flavor is of the highest quality, pronounced bv some' 

 superior to the Old Brinkle's Orange, the "finest flavored of all the 

 raspberries. In size equal to Cuthbert, immense- 

 ly productive, a ver3' strong grower, and hardy 

 enough even for the extreme northern latitudes, 

 having stood uninjured when even the Cuthbert 

 suffered. The desire for a yellow raspberry of 

 high quality, combined with vigorous growth, 

 and perfect hardiness, is believed to be fully met 

 in this variety. 75c per doz., postpaid; $2 00 per 

 100, $15.00 per 1000, by express or freight. 



The Japanese Wineberry. 



The canes of this interesting plant are large, ro- 

 bust and entirely hardy here; they are thickly 

 covered with purplish-red hairs, which extend 

 along the stem to the extremity. Each berry is 

 at first tightly enveloped in the large calyx, form- 

 ing a sort of burr, which is also covered with 

 purplish-red hairs so thickly as to present the 

 appeai-ance of a moss rosebud. These gradually 

 r;ni rtRM /MIPRN open and turn back, exposing the fruit in all its 



uuLUEPN (^ucci-N. beauty. The berries are of medium size as com- 



pared with our raspberries, but are of a beautiful translucent ap- 

 pearance: running through all the shades of amber to crimson as 

 they ripen. There is a freshness and brilliancy about thetri impossible 

 to describe, and we know of nothing in the way of raspberries so 

 attractive. In quality the fruit is good , with a rich and sprightlv 

 flavor, but decidedly brisk sub-acid. When cooked it is simplv grand, 

 surpassing by far when canned the huckleberry and all other small fruits. Season of ripeniug earlv July.
