“Certified” Raspberry Plants 
ARE GROWN FOR PLANTS ONLY. 
TWICE STATE INSPECTED EACH YEAR 
To grow real good Raspberry plants you cannot “burn the candle on 
both ends.” That is, you cannot grow Raspberries for fruit, and dig plants 
olf the sides of the rows. Plants like that will be weakened by fruiting. Our 
red Raspberry plants are grown two years, and then dug. They are not 
allowed to fruit during this time. We start them in this way. We set out a 
field of a certain variety, and care for them and fertilize them through the 
growing season. The following spring, they are cut away even to the 
ground, and allowed to come up again. This cutting off prevents them 
from bearing, and mak.es be'ter, stronger plants with much better root 
system. These rows are dug that fall after a good hard frost, with a digging 
machine, and taken direct into cellars, where they are graded. The largest, 
and strongest, and best rooted plants are graded out, and these are what we 
call the one-year bearing size. They really are two years old, but we call 
them one-year bearing. Our transplants, two years old, are gotten by setting 
out nice thrifty, one'year plants in the nursery row, and grown until fall 
and then dug. These are set far enough apart to make heavy transplants 
that will bear a good many berries for you the same year you set them out 
in your own field. Raspberry plants that we dig and grade in the fall are 
not stored. They are taken outside and heeled in all winter. We do not 
like storage p’ants. All our Raspberry plants are perfectly hardy. 
ST. REGIS, Everbearing Raspberry 
One of the most valuable of all the late introductions in the line of red 
Raspberries. The habit of growth is a bushy nature; will produce berries 
the first year in the fall, and a full crop the following spring and again 
in the fall. 
St. Regis resembles Chief; its fruit is similar to that variety in quality, flavor and 
appearance. In September, long after Raspberries are out of season, St. Regis will bear 
a full crop of fruit, which commonly sells for seven to eight dollars for a 24-pint crate. 
If you have a market at hand where you can dispose of the fruit, you will find St. Regis 
a very profitable investment when grown on a commercial scale. 
If you have not the time or the ground to grow St. Regis for 
market, be sure to plant at least a few bushes in the garden and 
keep your table supplied with all you can use.

more reason why “Ch ef” is a leader.

common Raspberries still ten days off, in

LUCRETIA, The Big Hardy Dewberry 
The only real good Dewberry on the market which is good for all purposes, being very productive, of 
extra large size, earlier than any of the rest, will grow and thrive on very light soil and live for many 
years. If you live in a locality where your thermometer registers seven degrees below zero, you can easily 
prevent the vines from winter-killing by laying down on the ground and covering them with straw, which 
can be held in place by just a few shovelfuls of earth. Then in the spring thev can be taken up and 
tied to wires which are fastened just like a grape trellis, but not as high, something like three feet high 
is about right. Dewberries make a good addition to your blackberry list, you will like them as well 
or better for all uses than the common run of blackberries, and ripening early, you get the advantage 
of higher pric.s; as the berry is much larger, you can pick a crate quicker. They grow _ practically free 
from all diseases. Our plants are fine and Michigan grown. Add to your income by planting Dewberries.
