Stahelin's Plants Grow and Bear Fruit 
The Older. (Cap) Has been tested throughout the northwest, and has not 
been found wanting in any instance. It roots very deeply and withstands drouth 
better than any other variety. The canes are of ironclad hardiness and grow to an 
immense size. It is a marvel of productiveness. The berries are nearly as large as 
Gregg and free from the bloom so objectionable in that variety, and are so even in 
size and color that it makes it very attractive in the box. Season medium to late. 
Doz. 25c, hundred 60c, thousand fs.oo. 
Gault. (Cap) This is what fruit growers have for many years been looking 
for — an everlasting blackcap of large size, hardy, good grower and productive. On 
the originator's ground and elsewhere, so far as tested, the Gault meets all these 
requirements. 
The following is the introducer's history and description of this berry: "This 
berry was a stray seedling I found by the roadside. The vines are extremely 
hardy, and the berries of delicious flavor, ."is to size, they are immense, some 
crown berries having measured three inches in circumference. When I found 
the plant it was quite small, and had but three clusters of berries on it. The size 
of the fruit was what attracted my attention. It was a year later before I dis- 
covered it was a perpetual; ami during the eight years since I discovered it I have 
frequently been surprised by new points of merit. 
The first crop commences ripening about the time of Gregg, is more abund- 
ant, and continues in bearing for three or four weeks, by which time the new canes 
begin to fruit, and continue until checked by frost. This latter crop does not con- 
sist of a few scattering berries al the axils of the leaves, but immense clusters, often 
numbering 100 berries on a single cane. While many of these clusters seem im- 
mense, yet they do not exhaust the vitality of the wood, for the same cane will bear 
a full crop next year. The young sets, when planted in the spring, will bear fruit 
in the fall of the same season. Many persons have visited my grounds and ex- 
amined the vines and fruit, and unite in testifying that the reality exceeds their 
expectations. They must be seen to be appreciated." Two for 25c, doz. 75c, hun-

Thompson's Early Prolific. [Red] This is a seedling, found among a 
number of others from selected seed gathered from the earliest red berries on our 
grounds. Its early ripening, fine, large, bright berries and productiveness 
attracted the attention of M. T. Thompson, the originator. It ripened very early, 
being the earliest red raspberry in the neighborhood. Kvery fruit grower knows 
the necessity of having a red raspberry that will come on, with good picking, just 
as the strawberry season is over. There is more money in an early red raspberry 
with us than any small fruit we grow. While the late varieties are sold at half the 
price, or even less than that. Above description from the originator. Dozen 30c, 
hundred 6oc, thousand I3.75.
