MULBERRIES 
New American — Equal to Downing in all 
respects, and a much hardier tree. Vigor- 
ous grower; very productive; the best vari- 
ety for fruit. 
Downing 's Everbearing — Very large, black, 
handsome, sweet, rich and excellent. 
Strong plants, 5 to 6 ft., price 75 cents each. 
PLANT YOUNG TREES 
We strongly recommend our customers to buy young 
trees, especially for orchard planting. They cost less, can 
be taken up with more perfect roots, are much more likely 
to live, will become established sooner, and can also be 
more easily trained to any desired shape. The most suc- 
cessful planters invariably select young, thirfty trees.

RULE— Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the pro- 
duct will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill. The number of feet in an acre (43.560) divided by this, gives 
the number of plants or trees to the acre. 
STRAWBERRIES 
Prices, per 100, 75 cents; per 1000, $4.00. 
Add 20 cents per 100 if to go by mail. 
We offer only the finest varieties of Straw- 
berries, including the latest improvement in 
this valuable fruit. 
Fertilization — Varieties marked (P) have 
imperfect flowers and need other perfect 
flowered sorts planted every third or fourth 
row to fertilize the blossoms. If only one 
kind is wanted, choose a perfect flowering 
sort. 
Bismarck — Plant resembles Bubach, but is 
more robust and stocky, with the same 
ironclad foliage. Fruit produced in abun- 
dance, outyielding Bubach. Shape obtuse, 
conical, never coxeombed; the heaviest, 
most solid berry ever grown or handled. 
Color bright scarlet, no green tips, very 
firm, good flavor, season medium to very 
late, size larger than Bubach. Perfect 
blossom.
