DIRECTIONS FOR PLANTING PEAR TREES 
Pear trees should be planted the same as other fruit 
trees. First, dig a hole large enough so the roots 
can be spread without crimping them. Then cut 
off one inch from the end of each root, and 
plant six inches deeper than the tree stood in the 
nursery. Next, shovel the dirt in and around the 
roots, packing it well as you do so. If your ground is sandy 
or dry, it is well to pour a pail of water in the hole before 
you complete filling in with dirt. Weeds and sod should be 
kept away from growing trees A straw mulch 
may be used. Do not use manure or sawdust on 
young fruit trees. Cut off the end of the limbs 
and the leader to the last strong bud. 
Raspberry Plants 
THE RED RASPBERRY 
The raspberry is one of the best small fruits for the 
Northwest and can be grown anywhere and on any soil that 
grows potatoes, without any great amount of care. It is one 
of the most palatable of all fruits with practically no waste 
or extra work in canning and produces good crops every year. 
In 1930 the income to Minnesota raspberry growers was 
estimated at $150,000 for plants and $200,000 each for marketed 
fruit and fruit from home gardens. A grand total of more 
than a half million dollars. Mr. II. G. Larson, St. Louis 
County, had part of a city lot, less than one-third acre, in 
raspberries, selling 1,000 quarts for $250.00. There is always 
a good demand for raspberries. 
WHY ZACHMAN’S BERRY BUSHES ARE BETTER 
We are pioneer berry plant growers, and one of the 
largest plant growers in Minnesotat Years of experience have 
taught us how to grow better berry plants. We claim to have 
the best berry plants and continue to keep this title. We cut 
off all of the last summer’s growth two inches under the sur* 
fa.ee and burn the stalks. This destroys mildew which is very
