a box and be crowded. Color, bright red all the way through, growing 
darker with age, is firm, agood keeper and will ship well, lias a perfect 
blossom and holds its size well through the season and remains in bear¬ 
ing for a long time. Plants 1 2c. each, 3 for 30c., O for 50c., 12 for 80c., 
30 for $1.00, postpaid. By express, 100 for $4.50. 
KEVITT’S WONDER STRAWBERRY 
A. NEW CREATION 
The most distinctive and individual of all American straw¬ 
berries. Unlike any other Strawberry in cultivation. 
This berry is absolutely new and distinct from any other Strawberry. It is a per¬ 
fect blooming variety; berries large, with seeds of bright yellow, making it a perfect 
beauty. The flavor is fine, and the berries are just the right shape and size to make 
them show up well in the crate, always commanding the top price. The introducer 
claims they can be safely sent in a commoh express car from New York to Chicago, 
and open up in fine shape. This is a very strong point in its favor, as a good shipping 
berry is very essential for commercial purposes. Fruit stems short and stocky anti 
so full of berries that they are weighted to the ground. Season medium, berries 
bright red, with a long nock, parting readily from the calyx. Plants 1 5c. each, 3 for 
30c., 6 for 50c., 12 for 80c., 30 for $ 1.50, postpaid. By express, 100 for $4.00. 
KKVITT’S IVONDEK STRAWBERRY 
GIANT HIMALAYA BERRY 
GREATEST OF ALL, BERRIES 
(See Back Cover for Photograph of one Plant as it appeared in July, 1910.) 
We believe this the most wonderful ISKItKY of its kind ever before known in this country. It’s black, but not a blackberry. It was discovered in th, 
Himalaya Mountains and brought to this country, and the results obtained are simply astonishing. 
The plant is extremely hardy, and for rapid and immense growth it is almost unbelievable; a single cane under favorable conditions will, if permitted, oft* 
en reach a growth of fifty feet in a single season. Sprouts do not come from the ground like a blackberry, but start from the one root. These canes, when one 
or more years old. send out fruit laterals from sixteen to forty inches long, which boar enormous crops, some estimating from six to ten tons per acre. Foj 
these and other reasons apparent to the grower the vines should be pruned and trained high with plenty of room. A six or seven-foot wire or wood trellii 
made sufficiently strong with the plants set nine feet each way, is not too little for good results. Some growers succeed with twice as many plants in the same 
space, however. It should not be forgotten that the plant is a perennial, not an annual, and comes to perfection in three years. For the best results it shoulc 
bo treated as a fruit tree, and pruned accordingly. About four canes should be allowed to grow from a root and trained to suit. After reaching the lengtk 
desired the tip should be pinched off so that the vine will not expend any more energy in that direction, but will give attention to fruit bearing. Pinch baclt 
the long and low laterals when necessary, and cut off the sprouts not wanted. It is well to allow one or two new canes to grow each year, to take the place of 
old vines, which should be cut out after a few years in order to have nice fruit. The bloom is shell pink, the size of a peach bloom, berries jet black, oblong 
in shape, and have a port wine flavor. 
No other berry will so amply repay the labor expended upon it. The fruit is one of the best sellers in the market, starting to ripen after blackberries are 
about gone, and continuing until frost. Almost coreless and very rich, they need very little sugar in cooking. They have a flavor all their own, and are sur¬ 
passingly good for pies, jellies and jams. As a tonic and regulator for the sick they are appreciated either fresh or cooked. No comparison can properly be 
made between this and blackberries. They are good shippers when not too ripe, and do not rapidly spoil on the vines. As a commercial berry it has no equal. 
Instead of growing so much of the fruit inside the vine, like blackberries, which causes so much trouble in picking, they send out their laterals all on the 
outside, which hang out and over on each other entirely outside the vines, and enables the pickers to fill their baskets rapidly. 
From the fact of its native land being extremes in severity of climate, it is the hardiest berry known, and will resist drouth and cold more than any other 
berry. Having a root like a small tree which strikes down deep to moisture, it is especially recommended to growers in dry districts. It is undoubtedly the 
coming berry. 
The (HAN'T HI M A LA Y A HER RY is fine for covering old buildings, walls, summer houses, etc. It looks fine trained to a post on the lawn, tying 
the canes to the post, and when they reach the top, pinch them back and they will branch out and form a bush or Weeping Tree that is a beautiful sight in 
July, with its shell pink blossoms. 
It crops in the North from July to frost and much longer in the southern states. It is believed to be the hardiest berry grown in the United States today. 
It is an all-around berry in every respect t and many appetizing dishes may be prepared from them. 
The plant shown on back cover was made from a photograph taken in July, 1910. It was trained upon a large trellis and loaded with ripe and green fruit 
just as shown in the photograph and produced berries until frost. Do not fail to set a few plants this spring.
