HARDY RASPBERRIES 
CHIEF. This is the latest production from the Minn. 
Fruit Breeding' Farm, and the hardiest. If it receives 
sufficient moisture it should winter and bear well almost 
anywhere. Wonderful quality but not as good a com¬ 
mercial berry as the Latham, although a heavier yielder. 
Ideal for the home garden. Price, doz., 40e; 100, $2.50'. 
Postpaid, doz., 50c. 
LATH AM; The best known production from the Minn. 
Station and the standard market variety over the coun¬ 
try today. Not quite as hardy as Chief but a better 
commercial berry, large, red, of high quality and uni¬ 
form in ripening. Should be planted in a sheltered loca¬ 
tion on good soil where it will receive plenty of mois¬ 
ture. Price, doz., 35c; 100, $2.25. Postpaid, doz., 45c. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
Chief Raspberry. ABUNDANCE. This is another of Professor Yeager’s pro¬ 
ductions obtained by crossing the native wild goose¬ 
berry with the large cultivated sorts. ABUNDANCE is 
so named because of the tremendous crops which it produces. It, too, has a 
large berry and long stem. The ripe fruit is reddish. Price, each, 45c; doz., 
$4.50. Postpaid, each, 50c. 
PERRY. This is the largest and strongest plant of the varieties introduced by 
Professor Yeager. In quality it is about like the Pixwell, and in yield also. 
It is, however, very upright, attains a height of 5 ft., and it requires little 
stooping to gather the fruits, which are easily picked. Price, each, 50c; doz., 
$5.50. Postpaid each, 60c. 
HOUGHTON. An enormously productive, old variety. Fruit is smooth, pale red, 
tender and well flavored. Of vigorous growth, slender and spreading. Not 
subject to mildew. Strong 2-year plants. Doz., $1.50. Postpaid, doz., $1.70. 
Latham. 
Pixwell. 
PIXWELL. This is one of the wonderful new gooseberries produced by North 
Dakota’s famous plant breeder, Professor A. F. Yeager at the State Experi¬ 
ment Station. We feel that it is a very fortunate event for us to be able to 
introduce this remarkable new fruit. It is entirely hardy here with us, is of 
remarkable vigor and quick growth. The berries are very large, borne in 
huge quantities, and, of particular value, they are borne on long stems 
which, in combination with the fact that they are not very thorny, makes 
them very easy to pick— hence their name. Price, each, 40c; doz., $4.00. 
Postpaid, each, 45c; doz., $4.25. 
NATIVE WILD GOOSEBERRY. The wild gooseberry is of value both as a fruit ana ornamental. It pro¬ 
duces a very considerable quantity of excellent fruit which is only a little smaller than the tame sorts. 
It is a handsome ornamental, being the very first thing to leaf out in the Spring when the vivid green 
of its new leaves gives the first seasonal touch to the shrubbery clumps; and among the last to go in 
the Fall, at which time it becomes a reddish bronze. Each, 25c; doz., $2.00. Postpaid, each, 30c; doz., 
$2.25. 
COMO. A rather new variety from the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. Not as hardy as Houghton 
out a large berry of good quality, and a heavy bearer. Superior to the old varieties wherever it is 
adapted. Doz., $1.55. Postpaid, doz., $1.75. 
HAZELNUTS 
This is the only nut bearing plant native to North Dakota and hardy all over the 
state. Since our bushes are grown from nuts gathered from wild northern bushes 
they are likely to be a mixture of both the common species, rostrata and americana. 
The hazelnut grows from four to six feet, a dense bush, and the nuts hang on in 
clusters and may be picked fairly green. Nuts are edible and of good flavor, related 
to the filbert. Each, 3 to 4 ft., 25c; 10, $2.25. Postpaid, each, 30c; 10, $2.50. 
CURRANTS 
RED LAKE. This is a recent development from the Minn. Fruit Breeding 
Farm, and is one of their outstanding productions. It is a red currant, 
hardier and better in general quality than anything previously offered 
in the Northwest. Price, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. Postpaid, each, 40c; doz., 
$4.00. 
WHITE GRAPE. This is the sweetest of the tame currants. It is a clear 
translucent white in color, bunches are large, as is the fruit. A steady an¬ 
nual bearer and altogether a most satisfactory variety. Each, 15c; doz., 
$1.75. Postpaid, each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 
CHERRY CURRANT. An old standard variety. The growth is strong, stout 
and erect. The fruit is of large size, deep red and rather acid. Very pro¬ 
ductive. Price, each, 15c; doz., $1.75. Postpaid, each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 
PERFECTION. Greatest of all Currants. The only small fruit ever awarded 
the Gold Medal of the Western New York Horticultural Society. A cross of 
Fay’s Prolific and the White Grape Currant; it combines the large size and 
rich color of the Fay with the good quality and productiveness of the White 
Grape. The berries are rich, mild sub-acid and few seeded. The most profit¬ 
able currant, and easiest to pick. Price, each, 20c; doz., $2.00; Postpaid, 
each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 
NATIVE BLACK, Ribes Floridum. We have a limited supply of transplanted 
stock, nursery grown from seed, of this kind, which can be used for fruiting 
or ornamental purposes. The fruits are large, sweet, and make excellent 
jelly. Each, stocky, 20c; doz., $2.00. By mail, each, 25c; doz., $2.50.
