Generally for orders 
in the 3rd zone, 
express is 
cheaper, 
and beyond that it is 
always 
cheaper. Where the distance is not too far, plants can be safely shipped by truck. 
If you send too much postage we will return the balance or add a few plants. Anyway, 
we guarantee safe arrival. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
With several very dry seasons, Black Raspberries have almost been destroyed. However, 
Black Raspberries will withstand a lot of drouths and they will not withstand too much wet 
weather. 
They should be planted on rich, well drained soil. Plant rows eight to nine feet apart and 
the plants three feet apart in the rows. When the new canes reach the height of eighteen 
inches, pinch them off and they will throw out good laterals. The following spring, cut them 
back to within twelve to twenty-four inches of the main stem. 
Black Raspberries are very easy to grow, liking very good cultivation. 
We can supply BLACK PEARL, CUMBERLAND and NEW LOGAN. 
Prices by Express: 10 for 40c; 25 for 80c; 100 for $2.00. 
If wanted by Parcel Post, add 10c for 10; 15c for 25; 50c for 100. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
Red Raspberries are not quite as hardy as Black Caps. However, no garden is complete 
without some Red Raspberries. 
We have LATHEM, CHIEF and ST. REGIS. 
Prices by express are the same as for the Black Cap. If wanted by Parcel Post, add 10c 
to the price quoted on Black Raspberries. 
BLACKBERRIES 
The extreme drouth of 1935 proved the undoing of the Blackberries. Fact is, there are 
very few remaining in the state of Kansas. However, if there is moisture available or if you 
can irrigate, no berry crop is as satisfactory as the Blackberry. 
You can plant Blackberries in any out of the way place and cultivate one season and allow 
them to grow in a thicket. When you have a fair season you will have berries and when you 
don’t you won’t but it won’t cost vou anything to cultivate them. In seasons of deep snow or 
long continued snow, watch your Blackberries or else the rabbits will destroy the canes. 
The varieties we grow are: BLOWERS, EARLY HARVEST, ELDORADO, MERCEREAU 
and SNYDER. 
Prices are the same as Black Raspberries by Express or Parcel Post. 
DEWBERRIES 
Here is one plant that will withstand all kinds of drouth or wet weather provided it is 
planted on fair land. Fact is, they do best on moderately poor soil. 
Plant them in rows six feet apart and three feet apart in the row. Take good care of 
them for one year and after that mow off with a scythe or mowing machine after the crop is 
picked and they will produce better late in the season than if the early started canes are 
allowed to remain. The cane is a little tender and are winter killed sometimes. The Thornless 
and Youngberry are gaining in favor. The Dewberry ripens just a little earlier than the 
Blackberry. 
Varieties: THORNLESS. LIJCRETTA, AUSTIN and YOUNGBERRIES. 
Prices are the same as quoted for Black Raspberries but if wanted in large lots write for 
special prices. 
GRAPES 
While the past season was a verv severe one on grapes, yet the vines produced a fair crop 
of grapes. A good many were killed in the dry season of ’34, therefore, there is a shortage of 
grapes. We are quoting only 1 year No. 1 plants. Prices by express are:
