Superb (Perfect) — Anothei* fall-bearing and a sood one. The 
youiiK' plants don't produce fruit the first season. The second 
season it produces fruit the same way as any other variety, and 
in the fall produces a full crop. The fruit is large. Park red, 
good (luality, and a very heavy cropper. Plants strong and 
healthy. 
Perfection (Perfect) — This is the heaviest yielder of any of 
the Everbearers we have tried. It needs to be planted in deep 
rich bottom land where water will not stand. It will begin to 
produce fruit in two months after the plants become established 
and continue right along to freexincr weather, but if allowed to 
produce fruit it won't produce plants. It cannot do both at 
the same time. The berries are large and of good quality for 
an everbearing sort. 
Strawberries yield larjrer oasli returns per acre than any 
other small fruit. 
RASPBERRIES 
ANY ground capable of raising good general 
crops is suitable for raspberries, or they may 
be grown at a pi'ofit in young orchards. Red 
raspberries, for field culture, should be planted in 
rows 7 ft. apart and 2 ft. apart in the rows; for 
garden culture, 4x5 ft. The canes should be cut 
back within two inches of the ground immediately 
after planting. In pruning the bearing canes, cut 
back, on an average, half their length. Old canes 
should be cut out after the freeze of winter. There 
is seldom enough Red Raspberries grown to supply 
the market demands. With good culture the average 
yield is 75 bushels per acre. 
Blackcaps are raised similarly to the Red varieties, 
they may be raised on lighter soil than the Red. In 
pruning the bearing canes, cut back about three feet. 
Plum Farmer — This without a doubt is the most popular 
Black Raspberi-y in America today, it is planted by the acre 
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and everywhere receives the 
highest praise. The plant,* are hardy, vigorous and productive, 
more free from diseases peculiar to blackcaps than other vari- 
eties. The berries are a grayish black and very large, thick 
meated and firm. They ripen early and most of the crop is 
produced in one week. 
Cumberland — The canes of this variety are strong and vigor- 
ous, quite in accord with such a large-fruited and abundant 
bearer, and they are hardy. The berries are very large jet 
black, firm and of excellent quality. They begin to ripen with 
Plum Farmer but extend over a longer season, taking about 
two weeks to ripen. 
Kansas — Stron;;, vigorous grower, standing extremes of drought 
and cold, and bearing immense crops ; jet black, and almost 
free from bloom : firm, of best quality ; early.
