BLACK RASPBERRY 
The extreme popularity of this splendid blackberry is well deserved for 
it is not only the hardiest of the better blackberries but is the best in quality. 
Plants are vigorous and very productive. Probably the best for home and 
commercial plantings in the North.

Blackberries are a wonderful fruit and help fill the gap between rasp¬ 
berries and grapes. The canes grow five to eight feet long, but may be 
pinched off when two feet tall to make them bush out. A few dozen plants 
in a corner of your garden mulched with six inches of straw will supply 
any family with this delicious fruit. Protect in winter by laying them down. 
APPLE TREES 
FRUIT TREES AT THE LOWEST PRICES IN YEARS 
Fruit trees are somewhat higher this year and will be much higher priced 
next year. Farmers and fruit growers in this northern section finally dis¬ 
covered that they must plant northern grown fruit trees grafted or budded 
on hardy northern seedlings for successful fruit growing. The demand for 
northern grown fruit trees is so great this year that it will be impossible 
to supply the demand with some varieties. I will warn you, my customers, 
not to buy cheap fruit trees from the south on tender roots. A southern 
grown fruit tree, 5 to 6 foot can be bought wholesale for 14 cents. This 
tree may grow and live for ten years and along comes a cold winter with 
little snow on the ground and the tree is dead, or half dead, and will hot 
bear fruit. We do not ship in southern grown fruit trees but grow our own 
trees and sell them until we are sold out. Send us your order early and be 
sure to get it filled. The varieties of fruit trees w^e grow are considered 
hardy in the most northern part of the state and can be grown successfully. 
The above applies to pear, plum, and cherry trees also. Plum trees on prime 
or tender plum roots will, not live here although the top is a hardy variety. 
Bargain counter trees are the most expensive in the long run.
