Childs’ Allsummer An everbearer, commencing to ripen | 
its large berries in July and continues until killed by 
autumn trusts. The plants arc strong and vigorous, 
growing three to five feet in height, standing erect 
without stakes or other support. Foliage very large 
and rank, dark green above and silvery white*under¬ 
neath. In hardiness nothing can surpass it, as it lias 
never been injured in the severest climate. It is 
immensely prolific, the berries being of great size, and 
dark red in color; duality extra fine Mrs. Stowe, of 
Montana, says: “ It has fruited for five years and borne 
a full crop each year, no matter how hot the weather. 
Our plot is 45 feet in length by 15 feet in width, besides 
a single row 115 feet long. From this plot and tin* row 
we picked last year fully 11 bushels of berries. Is not 
that a good yield? For live years the yield lias been j 
very uniform. In 18K»i the yield during' July was :i44 | 
boxes; August, 175 boxes; September. 27 boxes, an 
abundance of green fruit being killed by frost September J 
25tli. in many sections where the season is long enough 
its October crop is the largest.” To see it, at its very ! 
beat it must have a moist soil or plenty of water. It is j 
not so likely to do well in dry situations.

Souchet Everbearing 
White An extra large 
berry of a beautiful light 
amber, almost pure white 
color. Plant lias the same 
general habit, as Childs* 
Allsummer, but it is bet¬ 
ter for dry soils. Perfect¬ 
ly hardy, vigorous and a 
great cropper, both sum¬ 
mer and fall. The fruit is 
of extra fine quality. In 
fact we think it the finest 
flavored of all Raspber¬ 
ries. therefore most desir¬ 
able for the home garden. 
Its beautiful color con¬ 
trasting with red or black 
varieties makes a very 
appetizing dish when 
served together. In many 
respects this is the very 
finest Raspberry in culti¬ 
vation.
