Early Harvest — Very early and productive; 
must be protected over winter north of here. 
Lay the canes down in the fall and cover 
with straw or hay. 
Erie — One of the hardy varieties, as vigor- 
ous as Kittatinny; very productive; foliage 
clean and hea.thy; free from rust; fruit large, 
about the size of Lawton, round in form, 
giving it the appearance of being even larger 
than it really is; good quality. 
Snyder — Extremely hardy, enormously pro- 
d-pctive,,. medium size; no hard, sour core; 
sweet and juicy. The leading variety where 
hardiness is the consideration. Early. 
yjEIdorado — “Eldorado now stands high 
-■above any other blackberry, and all agree 
that it has never winter-killed or failed to 
produce a full crop of the finest fruit. While 
V? of superior flavor and very large, the vines will also stand the winters of the 
far Northwest without injury. The yield is enormous, the fruit being jet black, 
in large clusters, . ripening well together.” — (The Introducer.) 
Iceberg (New)— Produced by Luther Burbank by cross-fertilization with Crystal 
White and Lawton, lie says: "Very little attention was paid to these cross-bred 
descendants until this berry was discovered among its black relatives, with the 
canes bending in various directions with their load of delicious, snowy white berries. 
The berries are very transparent when ripe, with clusters larger than the Lawton, 
with as large berries and sweeter, more tender and melting, though firm as Lawton.” 
RFD RASPBERRIES 
Many people have come to 
think that the Red Raspberry 
is a failure on the dry prairies. 
This is a mistake, however, as 
they can be grown in abund- 
ance if proper care is given 
them. For the general planter, 
perhaps,, mulching is the bet- 
ter way to keep and make 
plants vigorous. In the winter 
the plants should be bent over 
and covered with litter from 
the stable. It is not the ex- 
treme cold that kills the tops, 
but continued freezing and 
thawing each day for weeks 
in the winter, and our very 
drying atmosphere. For the 
West. Loudon is far superior 
to other sorts.

Ten plants by mail at the 
price of 10. 
Cuthbert — Standard market 
sort; berries very large; rich 
crimson, large and handsome; 
fine shipper, as berries are Iceberg 
very firm. 
lAiuncn — Another season’s test confirms the opinion that Loudon has come to 
stay and is the best red mid-summer berry. Its points of superiority are vigor of 
growth, large fruit, beautiful, dark, rich crimson color, good quality, marvelous 
productiveness and hardiness, enduring winters without protection and without 
Injury to the very tips. It stands shipping the best of any variety, and wi.l remain 
on bushes the longest without injury. We consider this sort the very best variety 
for the West. The additional price should not be considered, as they are well 
worth the extra cost. 
Miller — Stout, healthy canes; berries large and firm; rich flavor; ripens early; 
handsome; fine shippers, as berries are very firm.
