LaFRANCE FRUIT AND PLANT FARMS 
Everbearers 
MASTODON seemed to withstand the drouth the best. Champion and 
Progressive failed early in the season. No one seems to grow them any more 
as we have been unable to obtain any plants. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Black raspberries suffered almost as bad as other plants. However, 
raspberries can withstand a lot of drouth. The fact is the thing that will kill 
black raspberries out is too much wet weather. Plant them on well drained 
soil. If you are fixed to mulch late in the fall, so much the better. Plant in 
rows eight or nine "feet apart and three feet apart in the row. When the 
canes are about eighteen inches tall nip the ends off and allow them to branch 
out. Cut the branches back one-half in the spring. 
We can supply Black Pearl, Cumberland and Cardinal. 
Prices by express: 10 for 40c; 25 for 80c; 100 for $2.50. 
If you want them shipped by parcel post add 50c per 100; 15c per 25; 
10c per 10. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
The same can be said about red raspberries as was said about black 
raspberries. You can plant the rows closer together if you like. Red rasp¬ 
berries are hardier than the black raspberries. 
We can supply Latham, Chief and St. Regis. 
Prices by express: 10 for 40c; 25 for 80c; 100 for $2.50. 
If wanted by parcel post add 50c per 100; 15c per 25; 10c per 10. 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries suffered less from extreme drouth than any other berry, 
provided they were planted on the right kind of soil. They delight in a deep 
rich and well drained soil. Our supply of plants is fair. Plant in rows ten 
feet apart and three feet apart in the row. With these wide rows you can 
cultivate with any kind of farm machinery you have. The disc is the best. 
When the canes reach the height of two feet it is best to cut them back and 
allow them to branch. In the spring trim back about half of the new growth. 
Blackberries are an easy crop to grow. You can plant in an out of way place 
and cultivate one season and allow them to grow in a thicket. It is not a 
pleasant place to pick berries but you will always have berries. Some seasons 
with deep snow the rabbits will ruin them unless they are looked after. 
Varieties: Blowers, Early Harvest, Eldorado, Mercereau and Snyder. We
