My Selection of the Finest Fruits and Roses 
Shown in Colors on Opposite Page 
Everbearing Strawberries 
“The Big Money Making Crop ” You get a crop 
the first year! These varieties start to'produce fruit 
almost as soon as the plants are set out. Plants set out 
in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in August 
and continue to bear until freezing weather. The fol¬ 
lowing year they produce a crop in June, the same as 
the common kinds, and also another crop in August and 
September. 
Note— When the plants are first set out the flowers 
should be carefully picked off and none allowed to pro¬ 
duce fruit until the plants have become well established 
which will be six to eight'weeks. 
It is important to set out the plants early in the 
spring, so do not delay ordering them. 
3507 Mastodon Strawberries The Largest and 
Best Everbearing. The fruit is rounded conical in 
shape, smooth and glossy, bright red and very sweet, 
being more free from acidity than any strawberry we 
know of. The plants I offer are exceptionally strong 
and vigorous and will produce large yields of big ber¬ 
ries. 25 plants, 65 cts.; 50 plants, $1.20; 100 plants, 
$ 2 . 00 . 
3509 Senator Dunlap Strawberries The Best 
Standard Variety. The strawberry that has staged a 
come-back. June bearing. Even with the introduction 
of the Everbearing Strawberry there is still a place 
for the old standard one crop per year strawberry. The 
Dunlap is absolutely the best. It is a fine quality berry, 
yields abundantly, and is a good shipper. 
I grow a great many varieties of the old standard 
strawberries, but I consider the Dunlap the best of any 
for all purposes. 25 plants, 45 cts.; 50 plants, 65 cts.; 
100 plants, $1.15, postpaid. 
3501 Blakemore Strawberry Best Early Large 
Fruited Variety. The new early Strawberry introduced 
by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Has been 
tested in all parts of the country and found unusually 
prolific in plant making and berry production. Plants 
extremely healthy and able to withstand dry weather. 
Do well on poor soils. Berries are good size, bright, 
even red all over, and all the way through. An extra 
firm berry which may be left on the vines several days 
after ripe and reaches the market looking bright and

3332 Red Delicious Apple This Is Without Doubt 
the Finest Red Apple in the World. This big, flashing, 
late winter apple is more easily recognized and more

apple is adapted to a wide range of climate and soil 
conditions.

nity should you have any surplus.

try where apples are grown. Each, 65 cts.; 5 for $2.25;

3321 New “Chief” Earliest Red Raspberry 
An Offspring of the Famous Latham—10 Days Eearlier. 
The newest outstanding variety from the Minnesota 
Fruit Breeding Farm. A seedlipg of the famous Latham 
and selected for its earliness and superior quality. New 
Chief'has been carefully tested and has proven hardy 
—a heavy cropper, a good shipper, resistant to disease 
and is ten days earlier than the Latham. We advise 
planting both Chief and Latham for continuous pro¬ 
duction of fruit. Chief is easily grown in any garden 
soil. 5 for 35 cts.; 10 for 60 cts.; 25 for $1.25; 100 for

3315 Honey Sweet Black Raspberry A Eig Seller 
in All Markets. The best blackcap at the present time, 
because of its great size, firmness and productiveness. 
The fruit is the largest of the Raspberry family, often 
measuring seven-eighths of an inch in diameter, and is 
of such handsome appearance that it is sure to bring 
the top of the market. Hardy and will stand many de¬ 
grees below zero without injury. We have fruited all 
of the other varieties, but they all fail away behind 
the honey sweet. If you trim them back so the stalks 
will not be more than 2% feet high and cut the laterals 
off to 6 inches in length, you will get fruit that will 
surprise you and give you the largest picking season of 
any Black Raspberry. Honey Sweet sets so many ber¬ 
ries that it is absolutely necessary to give it a severe 
trimming. It could not hold up the immense load if 
they should all attain their proper size. 5 for 50 cts.; 
10 for 90 cts.; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.00, prepaid. 
3303 Dewberry Lucretia Hardy as an Oak—Pro¬ 
lific and Delicious. The only real good Dewberry on the 
market which is good for all purposes, being very pro¬ 
ductive, of extra large size, earlier than any of the rest, 
will grow and thrive on very light soil and live for 
many years. If you live in a locality where your ther¬ 
mometer registers 7 degrees below zero, you can easily 
prevent the vines from winter-killing by laying down 
on the ground and covering them with straw, which can 
be held in place with just a few shovelfuls of earth. 
Then in the spring they can be taken up and tied to 
wires which are fastened just like a grape trellis, but 
not as high, something like 3 feet high is about right. 
5 for 30 cts.; 10 for 50 cts.; 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.25, 
prepaid.
