MERSEREAU 
BLACKBERRIES 
Plant them 3 feet apart in the row, the rows 6 feet apart. 
Blackberries do well on any ground that would grow wheat or 
com. With occasional cultivating you will get good crops. 
Allow the canes to grow 4 feet high, and break them off at 
that height in the summer. My plants are raised from root 
cuttings, no sucker plants. All varieties two-year transplanted 
stock, 3 for 22c; 10 for 50c; 25 for 90c; 100 for $3.20, postpaid. 
WTprQPrPSII Early. Berries very large, black, sweet. With- 
IflCloClCcUl ou t core, a very fine quality. One of the best 
for the Middle West owing to its hardiness. 
RASPBERRIES 
Selected for the Surest Results 
Plant in rows 5 feet apart, and 3 feet apart in the row. Will do 
well in any soil. Keep the bed free from weeds and cultivate 
Cut out all dead wood, and all suckers between the rows. Pinch 
the tops of all new canes when they are 3 or 4 feet high. This 
is done in the summer. 
Black Raspberries make no sucker plants, the red varieties with 
the exception of Columbian make suckers. All the Raspberries 
I sell are transplanted stock, the best grade on the market, not 
cheap tip-plants. 
Prices of all Raspberries except those quoted otherwise: 
3 for 25c; 10 for 45c; 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.25, postpaid 
RED RASPBERRIES 
fjVlipf Ear ' y - For home use and market unquestionably the 
V^xxxcx best red Raspberry of the early bearing type. Chief 
is fully 10 days earlier than Latham. In quality and size about 
the same as Latham, also a heavy producer. 
TiBtVlflTTl lr ° r years 1 have recommended this red Raspberry 
j-iai uxxaxxx as a mos t abundant bearer, and it still should be 
generally planted. For home use, and especially for market 
you find this berry excellent. 
St. Regis Everbearing 5* hs ",; °l S 
shipper, and the berries are large and sweet. Generally the 
plants bear the first year already. If you want fresh raspber¬ 
ries over a long period plant St. Regis. I recommend it for 
home use rather than for the market. 3 for 30c; 10 for 65c; 
25 for $1.40; 100 for $4.80, prepaid. 
Pnllimhian T,ie on,y re< l Raspberry that does not make 
WUi UlllUXa.il root-suckers. Productive, excellent quality, the 
berries are large, reddish-purple, the plants are very hardy 
3 for 30c; 10 for 70c; 25 for $1.50, postpaid. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Considered a little hardier than the red Raspberries. 1 would 
say that in the Northern states the Black Raspberries will do 
better, at least the red varieties should have a cover over win¬ 
ter wherever grown north of Nebraska. The Black Raspberries 
do not make root-suckers. 
ClinibSrlciUd. Large, black, very firm. 
T fttrari The S ran< 3 new variety, very large, jet-black, juicy 
AJUgdil an( j SW eet. The special improvement in this variety 
consists in enormously heavy bearing ability. Early. Extra fine 
two-year transplants, 3 for 30c; 10 for 70c; 25 for $1-50; 100 
for $5.25, postpaid. 
Onillpn New. This is an extra productive variety. 1 can 
\5UillCII highly recommend it. I believe that within a few 
years this will be the leading Black Raspberry on the market 
Hardy most anywhere in the Middle West and in the North. 
Plant more of them, they will make you a delicious fruit fresh 
and for canning. 
Rlmirprc Large, jet black, good shipper. Very productive, 
DiUWClo the favorite of market growers who claim that it 
is the hardiest Blackberry.
