Cuthbert Raspberries 
Raspberries 
Coming immediately after strawberries, when there is a dearth 
of other fresh fruits. Raspberries are equally desirable for planting 
in the garden for home use and in the field for market. They are cul¬ 
tivated easily. Beds seldom require renewing. Their season of ripen¬ 
ing is long. The fruit bears transportation well, and aside from the 
demand for it for immediate consumption, it brings highly remunerative 
prices for drying and canning. 
. Plant in good soil, and add manure freely from time to time. The 
hills should be not less than 5 feet apart each way, with five or six plants 
to a hill. Cut out the old and weak shoots each year, preserving not 
over six for fruiting. Surplus suckers take strength from the bearing 
plants. They should be cut away or hoed frequently. 
ST. REGIS EVERBEARING The 
“Early 'til Late” Raspberry — Unlike 
any other raspberry, the St. Regis yields 
a crop of fruit the season it is planted. 
Plants sot in early April gave berries on 
Juno 20th of the same year. For weeks 
thereafter the yield was heavy and the 
canes continued to produco ripe fruit 
freclv without intermission, until the 
middip of October. The berries are large, 
beautiful and firm, but flavor does not 
equal that of the Cuthbert nor Perfection. 
Raspberries for four months! That’s 
what you get when you plant St. Regis 
— the new everbearing variety. More¬ 
over, they are not only raspberries but 
raspberries of the very highest grade — 
in size, in brilliant crimson color, in 
firmness. 
Price, 50 cents per dozen; $1.75 
per hundred; $11.00 per thousand.
