BIG MONEY-MAKER 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money. They 
ripen a week or ten days ahead of common blackberries, 
the bulk of the crop harvested before other blackberries 
start to ripen, so sell at very high prices. 
The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, 
and the Lucretia is the best of them all. The large 
berries are incomparably better than any blackberry 
grown; of unequaled excellence; sweet and luscious 
throughout, and of glossy black color. They are very 
productive, and most profitable of all fruit crops to 
grow. The Lucretia has received the highest endorse¬ 
ment and highest praise from the best horticulturists 
in the country. Its trailing habit renders it less liable 
to winter-kill. Propagates from the tips, like black 
raspberries; does not spread or sucker. 
There are two methods of growing the Dewberry. 
One is to set the plants 4 feet apart in the row, with 
rows 6 to 7 feet apart. Allow them to grow along the 
row in their natural way, removing all the new growth 
until after blooming time, and then allow only enough 
new vines to grow to provide for the next crop, and at 
the same time shade the ripening fruit. 
The other method of growing is to use short posts 
and wire. Grown in this way, the fruit is much easier 
to pick, but not quite as early. The posts need to be 
only 30 to 36 inches high. Use one wire and in the 
spring tie all canes onto same, holding them off the 
ground. Let the new canes lie on the ground through¬ 
out the growing season, covering them slightly where 
the winters are severe. Cut away old wood in spring 
and the new canes on wire or old wood can be removed 
soon after harvesting the crop. About 1,700 plants 
are required to set an acre.

GROW FIGS IN THE NORTH 
Our Dwarf Fig is particu¬ 
larly adapted to pot culture. 
As a pot or tub plant, it 
is extremely valuable either 
indoors or outdoors, and is 
an abundant bearer of the 
most delicious fruit. It will 
winter safely in an or¬ 
dinary cellar, or it can be 
allowed to harden off with 
a few fall frosts and then 
be brought indoors for grow¬ 
ing during the winter. Our 
Dwarf Fig is a variety 
which fruits on the young 
wood, that is, wood of the 
current year’s growth, which makes it a most desirable 
variety where the tops are likely to be frozen back, 
for if the top is frozen, it can be cut to the ground, and 
when it begins growing it will produce fruit on the 
new wood. It is for pot or tub culture that we par¬ 
ticularly recommend this Fig, but when grown in the 
open ground it will develop a crop of fruit farther 
north than is true of other varieties. Plants bear the 
first year they are set and abundantly each year there¬ 
after. The fruit is very sweet and delicious; of good 
size; with flesh that is firm and meaty, and of very 
fine quality for making preserves, jams, canning, 
drying, or to eat in the fresh state.

ICEBERG, OR WHITE BLACKBERRY 
It is not merely a curiosity, for in addition to being 
a real novelty, it is a berry of extraordinary quality. 
These shining cream-white berries, when mixed with 
jet-black ones, make a most attractive dish. The 
bushes are good strong growers and very productive. 
For best results this variety should be planted near 
other blackberries.

LATHAM RASPBERRY 
A Big Money-Maker 
The Latham is conceded to be the best late red 
raspberry. It has more points of merit and has come 
into general planting more rapidly than any other 
raspberry ever introduced. It is vigorous in growth; 
withstands the winters in Canada without covering; 
and is exceptionally free from mosaic and other diseases. 
The large berries, some running over an inch in diam¬ 
eter, and the deep red color make it most attractive. 
and it is the most productive variety grown. Growers 
are beginning to realize that no other late red rasp¬ 
berry will make them so much money, so surely and 
quickly, as the Latham. One nine-acre field of Latham 
in Minnesota produced an average of $1,000 per acre 
each year for five years, and similar reports are coming 
from all sections of the country.
