B LACKBERRIES possess a rich fullness of flavor 
which is only realized when the fruit is fully rip¬ 
ened. You will be delighted with this fruit when grown 
in your own garden. Dewberries are similar to black¬ 
berries in character and flavor, but are borne on trail¬ 
ing vines. Both are easy to grow and bear abundantly 
the second year. By choosing Neosho stock, you are 
assured thrifty, vigorous plants which will, produce 
fruit of fine flavor.

Trees All Doing Fine 
“The apple trees we got from you 
this spring are doing wonderfully well 
and so far have only lost eight trees 
out of the thirteen hundred and sev¬ 
enty-five.” 
(Signed) Riverside Fruit Farm, 
Kansas. 
It hubarlt 
Rhubarb and asparagus are among the most 
welcome of the early spring vegetables and 
deserve a place in every garden. 
RHUBARB (Whole Roots) 
The succulent stems of rhubarb 
are a delicious and healthful des¬ 
sert either stewed or in pie. Comes 
at an early season when most 
needed and appreciated. 
Our roots are grown from Myatts 
Linnaeus seed, a large, tender, 
pink variety. 
EARLY ASPARAGUS 
Every home garden should have 
asparagus, one of the earliest and 
most wholesome vegetables, and 
when canned retains its flavor bet¬ 
ter than most vegetables. 
Mary Washington —The most re¬ 
sistant to rust and is superior in 
color, size and flavor. 
HORSERADISH 
True Maliner Kren, which is 
noted for its superior flavor, vig¬ 
orous growth and large size roots. 
Cultural Suggestions for 
Blackberries 
Where winters are mild, plant in the 
fall but mulch with straw or coarse 
manure for winter protection. 
Plant 3 feet or more apart in rows 
5 feet or more apart. Set an inch or 
two deeper than in the nursery row 
and cut back the tops to 6 inches or 
less. 
Cultivation should begin as soon as 
the plants are set and continued every 
week or two until a month before 
freezing weather. Pinch off the tops 
of the young canes when at a height 
of 2% feet—3 feet. Immediately after 
picking, old canes should be cut out 
and burned and also all but 3 or 4 new 
canes to each plant. 
A wire trellis is often used. Posts 
are set 15 to 30 feet apart in the row 
and the canes tied to a wire about 2 V 2 
feet above the ground. 
Sturdy Root Systems < 
There’s no secret, patented 
process that enables us to grow 
superior trees and plants; it’s 
simply the result of wonderfully 
fertile ground, favorable climatic 
conditions anti careful workman¬ 
ship. 
Best and Cheapest 
“This is conclusive proof of the 
thriftiness of your stock, and 
wish to add another thought; we 
were given the best service, and 
^ the best packed trees, the cheap¬ 
est trees laid down at our station 
and in every way pleased more 
with your stock than any nursery 
that we ever had any dealings 
with.”
