Englewood Heights, Yakima, Wash. 
Gentlemen: April 25, 1934. 
The Japanese Red'Leaved Maple arrived O. K. today and 
is a splendid looking specimen. The bulk of the order 
arrived last Saturday and it too was in good condition. The 
roses had such splendid root systems and we are so eager 
for the first blooms. Yours truly, 
MRS. O. B. 
Qooseberries 
This fruit is very useful for cooking either green or ripe, 
and is used for canning extensively. Requires the same 
cultivation and treatment as currants. The surest method 
to prevent mildew is to plant thickly in the rows and mulch 
deeply, six or more inches, with straw, tan bark, coal ashes, 
etc. Plantations thus treated have borne large crops for 
twenty years. The mulch retains moisture in the driest 
weather; the few weeds that push up are easily pulled, and 
the fruit is large and more evenly ripened. 
Price, all varieties: 20c each; $10.00 per 
100, not prepaid. 
Downing. Fruit large, round, light green with distinct 
veins, soft, juicy and fine flavored; vigorous and pro' 
ductive; smooth skin; one of the best. 
Houghton. Medium size, pale red, sweet and juicy; vig' 
orous grower, abundant bearer and free from mildew. 
We sell 50 at 100 rate. 
Currants

red, with sprightly acid flavor; very productive. 15c each; $12.00

Perfection. The latest introduction, being a cross between Fay’s Prolific 
and White Grape, combining the best qualities of both. Berry bright 
red and large. The clusters average longer and the size of berry is main' 
tained to the end of the bunch. Its quality is said to be superior to any' 
thing on the market today, being a rich, mild sub'acid flavor with plenty 
of pulp and few seeds. 20c each; $15.00 per 100, not prepaid.

FEDERAL QUARANTINE ON CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES 
The Government has established a quarantine, forbidding nurserymen from 
shipping Currants and Gooseberries into Nebraska, the Dakotas, Kansas, 
Oklahoma, Texas, and all other states west of this line. 
Perfection Currants. 
Eldorado Blackberries. 
Blackberries 
Blackberries do best on good soil, clay and sand mixture preferred, set in rows 
6 feet apart and 2 feet apart in rows. 3 500 are required per acre. Blackberries 
are in great demand now at 20c per quart. Give the boy a chance to try his 
mettle by letting him start a patch. He won’t have any desire to leave the farm if 
he is successful in raising fruit. The varieties here given are perfectly hardy and 
will prove a source of profit. Beware of the Erie, Wilson, Jr., Lawton and their 
like; they will not stand our winters. 
ELDORADO. Largest hardy Blackberry grown. Free from rust and the best 
money maker here. Berries of the Eldorado bring 50c per crate more than 
Snyder on the local market. 50c per doz.; $2.25 per 100; $15.50 per 
1000, not prepaid. 
BLOWERS. Very large, finest flavor, and jet black. Canes grow upright, perfectly 
hardy. This variety is one of the most productive under cultivation. Begins to 
ripen in July and continues late. Sells for the highest market price. 75c per 
doz.; $2.25 per 100; $15.50 per 1000, not prepaid.
