BUSH FRUITS 
Every year this class of fruit cultivation seems to be 
growing in popularity. New varieties coupled with their 
adaptability to the Montana climate is giving them a fore- 
most place in fruit planting. Our stock this year is more 
complete than ever before, and our bushes are the very 
picture of purity and vigor. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
To get best possible results plant in rows six feet apart 
about three feet in the row. 
Stone's Hardy — Vigorous and upright growth. A very de- 
pendable variety, and although its fruit is a little smaller 
than others of its class, its extreme hardiness will al- 
ways keep it a favorite. 
Snyder — Very productive and hardy; fruit sweet and 
juicy; ripens early. 
Each 10c; doz., 75c

ornamental bush in landscape work. Last year our sale of

""OOSEBERRIES. 
When planted a good distance 
apart and given good, shallow 
surface cultivation, the Goose- 
berry does exceptionally well in 
this state, and should be more 
generally planted. American va- 
rirtios are much more adaptable 
than English varieties. ■

most popular and most widely 
L'vown of the plants, producing
