Chief Raspberry. 
HARDY 
RASPBERRIES 
CHIEF. This is the latest production from 
the Minn. Fruit Breeding- Farm, and the 
hardiest. If it receives sufficient moisture it 
should winter and bear well almost any¬ 
where. Wonderful quality but not as good 
a commercial berry as the Latham, although 
a heavier yielder. Ideal for the home gar¬ 
den. Price, doz., 40c; 100, $2.50. Postpaid, 
doz., 50c. 
LATHAM. The best known production from 
the Minn. Station and the standard market 
variety over the country today. Not quite 
as hardy as Chief but a better commercial 
berry, large, red, of high quality and uni¬ 
form in ripening. Should be planted in a 
sheltered location on good soil where it will 
receive plenty of moisture. Price, doz., 25c; 
100, $2.25. Postpaid, doz., 45c. 
Latham Raspberry 
GOOSEBERRIES 
HOUGHTON. An enormously productive, old variety. Fruit is smooth, pale red, 
tender and well flavored. Of vigorous growth, slender and spreading. Not subject 
to mildew. Strong 2-year plants. Doz., $1.50. Postpaid, doz., $1.70. 
NATIVE WILD GOOSEBERRY. The wild gooseberry is of value both as a fruit and 
ornamental. It produces a very considerable quantity of excellent fruit which is 
only a little smaller than the tame sorts. It is a handsome ornamental, being the 
very first thing to leaf out in the Spring when the vivid green of its new leaves 
gives the first seasonal touch to the shrubbery clumps; and among the last to go 
in the Fall, at which time it becomes a reddish bronze. Each, 25c; doz., $2.60. 
Postpaid, each, 30c; doz., $2.25. 
COMO. A rather new variety from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. Not as 
hardy as Houghton but a large berry of good quality, and a heavy_ bearer. Superior 
to the old varieties wherever it is adapted. Doz., $1.55. Postpaid, doz., $1.75. 
CURRANTS 
BED LAKE. This is a recent development from the Minn. Fruit Breeding Farm, 
and is one of their outstanding productions. It is a red currant, hardier and 
better in general quality than anything previously offered in the Northwest. 
Price, each, 25c; doz., $2.50. Postpaid, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 
Gooseberries. 
WHITE GRAPE. This is the sweetest of the tame currants. It is a clear translucent white in color, 
are large as is the fruit. A steady annual bearer and altogether a most satisfactory va¬ 
riety. Each, 15c; doz., $1.75. Postpaid, each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 
NATIVE BLACK, Ribes Floridum, We have a limited supply of trans¬ 
planted stock, nursery grown from se’ed, of this kind, which can be used 
for fruiting or ornamental purposes. The fruits are large, sweet, and 
make excellent jelly. Each, stocky, 20c; doz., $2,00. By mail, each, 25c; 
doz., $2.50. 
HAZELNUTS 
This is the onlv nut bearing plant native to North Dakota and hardy all 
over the state. Since our bushes are grown from nuts gathered from wild 
northern bushes they are likely to be a mixture of both the common spe¬ 
cies, rostrata and americana. The hazelnut grows from four to six feet, 
a dense bush, and the nuts hang on in clusters and may be picked fairly 
green. Nuts are edible and of good flavor, related to the filbert. Each, 3 to 
4 ft., 25c; 10, $2.25. Postpaid, each, 30c; 10, $2.50.
