HARDY RASPBERRIES 
i 
Chief Raspberry 
CHIEF or MINNESOTA NO. 223. The latest and best raspberry from the 
Minnesota Station. Hardier than Latham and heavier yielding - . Qual¬ 
ity fully as good, but not as well adapted to commercial use in the 
largest growing districts. Altogether it is so fine that it should at least 
be given a trial anywhere. Price, doz., 40c; 100, $2.50. Postpaid, doz., 50c. 
LATHAM. The best known production of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Sta¬ 
tion and the standard market variety over the whole country today. A 
heavy bearer, berry red, large and of high quality. Should be planted 
only in sheltered location and on well watered soil in the Northwest; if 
these precautions are taken it should ripen almost anywhere. Price, doz., 
35c; 50c, $1.25; 10O, $2.25. Postpaid, doz., 45c. 
SUNBEAM. This variety of Professor Hansen’s continues to be with us the 
hardiest and most dependable variety under severe conditions. We have 
grown it for 20 years and although no raspberry can do without consid¬ 
erable moisture, we believe the Sunbeam to be most drouth-resistant. 
Price, doz., 35c; 50, $1.10; 100, $2.00. Postpaid, doz., 45c. 
PEERLESS CLIMBING RED. Originated in Bismarck by Mr. John Millet 
as a seedling many years ago. A rapid grower and may be trained on a 
post or trellis. Plant in a sheltered spot for best returns. Berry large, 
firm and delicious. Doz., 30c; 50, $1.20; 100, $2.25. Postpaid, doz., 40e; 50c, 
$2.40. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
PIXWELL. This is one of the wonderful new gooseberries produced by North Da¬ 
kota’s famous plant breeder. Professor A. F. Yeager at the State Experiment 
Station. We feel that it is a very fortunate' event for us to be able to introduce 
this remarkable new fruit. It is entirely hardy here with us, is of remarkable 
vigor and quick growth. The berries are very large, borne in huge quantities, 
and, -of particular value, they are borne on long stems which, in combination 
with the fact that they are not very thorny, makes them very easy to pick— 
hence their name. Price, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. Postpaid, each, 45c; doz., $4.25. 
ABUNDANCE. This is another of Professor Yeager’s productions obtained by cross¬ 
ing the native wild gooseberry with the large cultivated sorts. ABUNDANCE is so 
named because of the tremendous crops which it produces. It, too, has a largo 
berry and long stem. The ripe fruit is reddish. Price, each, 45c; doz., $4.50. Post¬ 
paid, each, 50c. 
HOUGHTON. An enormously productive, old variety. Fruit is smooth, pale red, ten¬ 
der 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., $2.00. Post¬ 
paid, 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 
WHITE GRAPE. This is the sweetest of the tame currants. It is a clear trans¬ 
lucent white in color, bunches are large, as is the fruit. A steady annual 
bearer and altogether a most satisfactory variety. Each, 15c; doz., $1.75. 
Postpaid, each, 20c; doz., $1.90. 
CHERRY CURRANT. An old standard variety. The growth is strong, stout and 
erect. The fruit is of large size, deep red and rather acid. Very productive. 
Price, each, 15c; doz., $1.75. Postpaid, each. 206; doz., $2.00. 
PERFECTION. Greatest of all Currants. The only small fruit ever awarded 
the Gold Medal of the Western New York Horticultural Society. A cross of 
Fay’s Prolific and the White Grape Currant; it combines the large size and 
rich color of the Fay with the good quality and productiveness of the White 
Grape. The berries are rich, mild sub-acid and few seeded. The most profit¬ 
able currant, and easiest to pick. Price, each, 20c; doz., $2.00. Postpaid, each, 
25c; doz., $2.50. 
NATIVE BLACK, Ribes Floridum. We have a limited supply of transplanted 
stock nursery grown from seed, 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. 
MINNESOTA NO. 24. 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, 35c; doz., $3.00. Postpaid, each, 40c; 
doz., $4.00'. 
Houghton 
Gooseberry 
HAZELNUTS 
This is the only 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 -species, 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 flavoi, i elated to the 
filbert. Each, 3 to 4 ft., 25c; 10, $2.25. Postpaid, each, 30c; 10, $2.50.
