This is our St. Regis Everbearing Red Raspberry field, set out in the spring of 1915 — about five months* growth. 
You will see that these plants are of hardy, vigorous stock. These plants have berries the first year, and from 
then on will prove a soui-ce of perpetual income. The plants will stand the most severe climatic conditions, have 
a dark green foliage, and have the appearance of an ornamental hedge. St. Regis Berries .sold for $3,00 to $3.50 
per 12-quart case on the open Chicago market during September, October and November. 
number all other varieties. The demand for 
the fruit, which is of immense size, is greater 
than that for any other sort, because of the 
great size and beauty of the fruit. If you do 
not plant all your raspberry patch with Kings 
you will be missing a lot of easy money when 
your crops come on. They easily net twice as 
much per acre as any other red raspberry. In 
anticipation of a big demand for Kings we have 
reserved 100,000 for our retail trade. No other 
nurseryman can give you the genuine King Red 
for as little money as we are offering them for. 
One acre of King Raspberries will help to send 
the boy or girl to college. 
THOMl'SON EARLY RED RASPBERRY. 
Has been a favorite with many growers for a 
long time and on account of its earliness and 
the consequent high price it continues to hold 
its own. Were it better known it would be 
more generally planted. 
ST. REGIS EVERBEARING RED RASP- 
BERRY. The most valuable of all of the late 
introductions in the line of red raspberries, 
and do well upon light or heavy clay, sand, 
loam or gravel. If you will give them clean 
cultivation and keep down the extra plants 
you will be well paid for your work. A patch 
of St. Regis presents a beautiful view when in 
full leaf, are almost as attractive as a hedge of 
ornamentals; the habit of growth is of a bushy 
nature and with their large dark green leaves, 
which completely cover the bush, they look as 
proud as a peacock, and the leaves remain on 
them till cold weather comes. The plants are 
marvelously healthy, and productive; will 
produce berries the first year in the fall, and 
a full crop the following spring and again in 
the fall; you can get two crops a year when 
you once get started. We have met many 
commercial growers this year who say St. Regis 
is absolutely the best berry in spring and 
have no competitor in the fall when they again 
bring forth a crop of bright red berries which 
bring extra fancy prices. Try St. Regis and 
see what they will do for you. Will grow as 
well north as south. We have a fine stock of 
plants which we are offering at very low prices.
