First of all in June comes the delicious 
II il>Vv>l rivv^ ^^'^ wholesome Strawberry, requiring, 
II if for family use, only a small plot of 
ground to produce all the family can consume. If engaged in raising 
for market, this branch of small fruits will probably bring as good re- 
turns as any class of small fruits grown. Strawberries can be grown on a great 
variety cf soils. Ground should be deeply and thoroughly worked, and sur- 
face kept clear of weeds, to produce the best results. Plant in rows two feet 
by one, or three by one if for garden or hill culture, or four by one for matted 
rows in field culture. Blossoms of all varieties mentioned are bi-sexual, or per- 
fect (having both stamens and pistils within the same flower), except those 
marked P, which have no stamens, and are called imperfect or pistillate.

This valuable and desirable 
fruit comes close on the straw- 
berry, and if properly cared 
for yields large returns. Any _!(ood soil will grow them and produce 
quantities of delicious fruit. We think cultivation and thorough 
mulching is necessary to gain the most encouraging results. Dozen lots post 
paid. If by riail, in orders of fifty, add 15 cents, in orders of one hundred, add 
30 cents. 
Cuthbert. A variety much .sought after, and we think combines as 
many good qualities as any red berry. It is certainly worthy a place in every 
collection. With us very hardy and productive ; berries firm and carry well. 
One of our customers says: "I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed the 
Cuthbert Raspberries every day for tea for more than three weeks, and could 
have eaten them longer had they lasted." Price, 50c. per tioz., $1.25 per 
hundred, $8.00 per 1000. Special price on quantities to heavy planters. 
Marlboro. A very promising early variety and well worthy of extensive 
planting ; doing better for us the past season than ever. Its large size, firm- 
ness and excellent flavor and extreme earliness will find tor it a good market. 
We have a fine well grown stock of plants of this variety. Price, 50c. per 
dozen, $1.50 per hundred, $10.00 jier thousand. 
Miller Red Raspberry. A new early variety coming to the front 
ranks of raspberries. The introducers say : -'The bush is a stout, healthy, 
vigorous grower, not quite so tall as Cuthbert but rather more stocky and 
dwarfish. It is well cal' ulated to hold up the immense crop of fruit with 
which it Ir ads itself. The time of ripening is with the very earliest. 
Price, 50c. per 12 ; $2.00 per 100 ; S12.00 per 1,000. 
New Red Raspberry— Loudon. This :s the most valuable new 
fruit of recent years. It has been tested over a wide range of country and has 
proved to possess the most valuable characteristics, which are hardiness of 
plant, firmness of berry, large size, bright color, vigor of plants and great pro- 
ductiveness. It is the product of a lifetime of labor and experiments <m the 
part of F. W. Loudon, the aged hybridist, and is a cross between the hardy
