C. W. ATWATER & SON 
BLACKBERRIES 
Plant 4' apart in rows 7' apart. 
Eldorado. Large, jet black, of fine quality. 
Hardy and very productive. 
Mersereau. Large, glossy black, sweet and 
good, with no hard core. Productive and 
extremely hardy. Adapted to heavy soils. 
Snyder. Good size, sweet, very productive 
and hardy; a reliable sort, especially adapted to 
light soils. 
RASPBERRIES 
Plant 3' apart in rows 6' apart. 
Cumberland. Large, glossy black with small 
seeds; good quality, productive. Mid-season. 
Plum Farmer. Large, black, good flavor; 
strong grower and heavy bearer. A popular 
early black cap. 
Columbian. Very large, purplish red, with a 
peculiar flavor of its own, much liked by some, 
and fine for canning. Bush not suckering from 
the roots, but growing like the black sorts; very 
productive. 
Chief. A new, early red raspberry, origi¬ 
nated by the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding 
Farm. It is a seedling of the Latham and re¬ 
sembles that popular variety in many respects, 
but is ten to twelve days earlier in ripening. 
Without doubt the best early red raspberry. 
Latham. A native of Minnesota. Berries 
large, deep red, good quality, and firm flesh, 
carrying well to market. Canes very hardy, 
strong growing, and enormously productive. 
Beyond all question the leading market variety 
for this section. Mid-season to late. 
St. Regis. Of the so-called “Everbearing” 
class. Fruit of medium size and only fair 
quality, but desirable for family use because of 
the berries produced in September. 
Golden Queen. Large, yellow, fine flavor; 
grows like the red sorts. Valuable for home 
use but not for market. 
RHUBARB 
Hawk’s Champagne. A new variety, large 
and fine. 
Linnaeus. Large, early, and tender; a first- 
class sort. 
ASPARAGUS 
Plant 18” apart in rows 2' apart for garden 
culture, but with rows 4' apart for field culture. 
Washington. This new Asparagus is the re¬ 
sult of careful seed selection for a series of years 
by some of the best plant breeders in the United 
States Department of Agriculture. It is be¬ 
lieved that a strain of Asparagus has now beeu 
obtained that is practically rust proof and that 
is very productive of large, early shoots of the 
finest quality. 
The Washington has practically superseded 
the older sorts of Asparagus, and we are now 
offering only this one variety. We grow our 
plants from the choicest strain (Mary Washing¬ 
ton re-selected) of pedigreed seed, and they 
should give the best of results.
