Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
The Everbearing Strawberry is now past the ex¬ 
perimental stage. We were skeptical ourselves 
at first and before offering them to our trade 
we tested them several years. Out of a number 
of varieties tested we found* only two or three 
that succeeded. Two of these sorts were so far 
ahead of any others that we tested that we 
have dropped all others and will offer these two 
only. They are the Superb and the Progressive 
and the former was more satisfactory than 
the latter. We picked from a small bed of be¬ 
tween 200 and 800 plants, all planted in the 
spring of the same season, from four to five 
arts of fine berries to a picking, three times a 
week, beginning fore part of August and con¬ 
tinuing till freezing weather. The vines were 
covered with blossoms and green and ripe ber¬ 
ries at all times. We believe that every one 
should have some of these for a novelty, but we 
do not believe that they will be a paying pro¬ 
position commerciaJly. 
We offer plants of" Superb and Progressive. Su¬ 
perb has averaged larger and has produced more 
quarts with us, while Progressive has produced 
more berries, but smaller and on longer, more 
upright stems. 
R.ASPBER.R.IES 
Raspberries are one of the most delicious and popular fruits grown, are easily cultivated 
and require little care. Cut out old and weak roots each year. Plant in good soil in hills about 
four feet apart. With a little care and attention they will produce large crops of oerries. In large 
plantings it is advisable to plant them thickly the same as hedge row. 
RED AND PURPLE VARIETIES 
COLUMBIAN (Purple Cap) — The Columbian is 
a variety of the Shaffer type; of remarkable 
vigor and productiveness. It is very hardy and 
a rank, thrifty grower; propagates from the 
tips, same as black caps. Fruit very large and 
grows abundantly; very rich flavor, tarty, a 
splendid berry for jelly, pies and for canning. 
CUTHBERT—Leading late variety, all over the 
country. A very rank grower. Very produc 
tive. Fruit large and of good quality. If you 
want a good all round late red raspberry, plant 
the Cuthbert. _ 
HAYMAKER—A purple cap, not so dark as 
Columbian or Shaffer, and larger and firmer than 
either of those varieties; never crumbles, and 
stands up well in shipping. Sample crates 
have been shipped to distant points with entire 
satisfaction. It is a berry to grow for either 
home use dr market. ^ 
ST. REGIS—The so-called everbearing variety. 
This has borne some berries in the Fall but 
has not proved much of a success with ua. 
YELLOW VARIETIES 
' GOLDEN QUEEN—A seedling of Cuthbert 
equaling that variety in vigor of bush and pro¬ 
ductiveness. Fruit large; color a pure yellow; 
quality best. Ripens with Cuthbert. 
BLACK CAPS 
CUMBERLAND—The largest of all the black 
caps; coal black berries; very firm and quality 
of the very best; excellent shipper. Bush a 
strong grower, stocky canes and unusually pro¬ 
lific. Mid-season. 
GREGG—One of the most valuable varieties of 
the black cap family; fruit larger than Mam¬ 
moth Cluster, but not quite so good m quality; 
ripens some days later; hardy, a vigorous grow¬ 
er and great yielder. 
KANSAS—A seedling originated at Lawrence, 
Kansas; ripens soon after the Palmer. Beijies 
as large or larger than Gregg; jet black, and of 
the very best quality. It has been thoroughly 
. tried out at the Experimental Station, and is 
* favorably recommended. It stands the trying
