Cuthbert Red Raspberries. 
KING RED RASPBERRY. Has continued 
to increase in popularity until the acreage bids 
fair to outnumber all other varieties. The de- 
mand for the fruit, which is of immense size, 
is greater than for any other sort. If you do 
not plant Kings you will be missing a lot of 
easy money when your crops come on. They 
net twice as much per acre as any other red 
raspberry. In anticipation of a big demand 
for Kings we have reserved a large stock for 
our retail trade. 
ST. REGIS EVERBEARING RED RASP- 
BERRY. The most valuable of all 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 cultiva- 
tion 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 orna- 
mentals; the habit of growth is of a bushy 
nature and with their large dark preen 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 pro- 
duce 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 who say St. Regis is absolutely the first 
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 with you. Will grow as well North as South. 
We have a fine stock of plants which we are 
offering at very low prices. 
St. Regis berries sold for us in the open 
market, Chicago, last September for $5.00 per 
24 pint case. 
Purple Cap Raspberries 
COIiTTMBIAN and HAYMAKER. Are neither 
red nor black, but seem to be half of each. The 
berries are covered with bloom and present a 
very enticing -"npearance when picked. Of very 
pleasing flavor, good size, and prolific bearer, 
fairly hardy, succeed on all soils; have met 
with great favor here. The purple caps pro- 
duce an enormous quantity of fruit, and since 
they are becomini- better known, are selling 
well in the large markets. We have made the 
price so low that they are within the reach 
of all. 
Red Raspberries 
Red Raspberries are being recognized as a 
great money maker. An acre planted 
to assorted varieties will make an in- 
come of several hundred dollars per 
year, and come in a season when you 
will have time to look after them. 
They will grow in any soil where 
water does not stand. On high or 
low land great crops are grown when 
they receive proper care. They should 
be planted in six feet rows, plants 
about three feet apart, to get nice 
large berries. Should be trimmed 
down to about 2 V4 feet high. 
CUTHBERT. Best late market va- 
riety, strong grower, immensely pro- 
ductive, fruit firm, large size, of finest 
quality, season medium to late, hardy, 
yielding immense crops wherever planted, 
a general favorite for an all-around berry plant. 
We advise you to plant it for home use or 
market. 
MXLl/ER RED. An early berry, does not 
winter-kill. We think it is the best shipping 
berry grown; makes a nice growth of canes; 
for best medium season berry, set Miller Red; 
keeps its bright red color a number of days 
after being picked; a good hardy all-around 
berry. 
THOSIPSON 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. The worst objection 
IS its size, but you can remedy this by good 
cultivation and cutting out canes, leaving but 
three to five in a hill.
