ST. REOIS— "With the ap- 
?iearance of the St. Regis, one of 
he new 'everbearing' varieties, 
the problem of growing raspber- 
ries in the South seems to be 
solved. The St. Regis appears to 
be doing well In all parts of the 
South in which it has been tried. 
It bears a good crop of berries in 
the early summer, and In August 
the new shoots dievelop clusters 
on their tips, which mature for the second crop." — Tht Cmntry
