RASPBERRY PLANTS 
Not only are Raspberries one of the most 
delicious of all fruits for home use, but they 
are also one of the safest to plant com¬ 
mercially. In my twenty years of growing 
Raspberries there has never been a time but 
what all we produced could be sold. 
Plant on good, well-drained soil, on a 
slope, if possible, and cultivate freely. Fer¬ 
tilize with chemicals and wood ashes rather 
than manure. Of the red varieties about 
2400 to 3000 plants per acre are required, 
planted 2 to 3 feet apart in rows 6 feet 
apart. The black and purple varieties, 
planted 3 feet apart in rows 7 feet apart, 
take about 2000 plants per acre. Our Rasp¬ 
berry plants are officially inspected two or 
three times a year, and no mosaic has been 
found in our fields for several years. 
Chief. (Red) A new, early variety which 
ripens about July 1. An improvement on 
the old King, but not a heavy yielder with us. 
75c per 12, $1.25 per 25, $3.00 per 100. 
Columbian. (Purple) This is the standard 
purple raspberry. Makes no sucker plants 
but roots from the tips. With good conditions 
extremely heavy yields are obtained. Splendid 
for canning. $1.00 per 12, $1.50 per 25, 
$4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1000. 
Golden Queen. (Golden) A high quality 
Raspberry, identical with Cuthbert, except 
in color, which is rich golden yellow. Golden 
Queen has seemed to retain its vitality, but 
the supply of plants is very limited. $1.00 
per 12. 
June. (Red) Finest of all early raspberries 
and one which has been off the market for 
several years because of the shortage of 
plants. We now have a fair supply available, 
of good quality. Erect growing thornless 
canes, very large bright colored fruit. Most 
of the crop is picked before Latham starts to 
ripen. The most profitable variety we ever 
grew for fruit. $1.50 per 25, $4.00 per 100, 
$30.00 per 1000. 
Latham. (Red) The leading commercial va¬ 
riety of the country. Erect canes, very 
hardy, a heavy yielder, a good shipper. 
Fair quality. 75c per 12, $1.25 per 25, $3.50 
per 100, $25.00 per 1000. 
Newburgh. (Red) This has proven itself to 
be one of the heaviest yielding and the hardi¬ 
est of all raspberries. No injury was appar¬ 
ent after the winter of 1933-1934. Newburgh 
bears very heavy crops of immense berries, 
ripening in mid-season. Fruit is of good 
quality and very firm, making it the best 
shipping raspberry. Newburgh is very re¬ 
sistant to diseases. The canes are medium 
height. $1.50 per 25, $4.00 per 100, $30.00 
per 1000. 
Plum Farmer. (Black) One of the finest 
black-cap raspberries ripening early in the 
season. Tip plants $.75 per 12, $1.25 per 25, 
$3.50 per 100, $25.00 per 1000. 
Viking. (Red) This Canadian introduction 
has superseded Cuthbert with us, although it 
is a week earlier. Erect canes, almost thorn¬ 
less. Berries of highest quality. 75c per 12, 
$1.35 per 25, $4.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000. 
BLACKBERRY PLANTS 
Culture same as for Raspberries. Avoid 
frosty locations, although both Snyder and 
Eldorado have withstood 35 below zero and 
borne crops. 
Eldorado. We have the genuine variety, 
which is very hard to get. It is of highest 
SMALL FRUITS 
quality, exceptional hardiness and a good 
yielder, but does not make so many plants 
as other varieties. $1.00 per 12, $1.75 per 25, 
$6.00 per 100. 
Snyder. A safe variety to plant for home or 
market. Upright grower. Fruit large, though 
not so large as Eldorado, and of good quality 
if allowed to ripen fully on the bushes. 75c 
per 10, $1.25 per 25, $4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 
1000. 
CURRANTS 
Currants and Gooseberries like rich soil 
and plenty of fertilizer. They usually bear 
the year after planting and are commercially 
profitable. Although restrictions on the ship¬ 
ment of Currants and Gooseberries have been 
mostly done away with, New Hampshire and 
Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and 
Connecticut prohibit their being planted in 
certain towns.

clusters of large berries. Red. 30c each, 
$2.50 per 10, $22.00 per 100.

ripening in August. Fine flavor. As fruit 
ripens unevenly, it is not a commercial 
variety. 40c each, $3.50 per 10.

cept a week to ten days earlier. 25c each, 
$2.00 per 10, $15.00 per 100.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
A good bed of strawberries will reduce the 
living expenses tremendously. They should 
be planted on rich soil that has been plowed 
a year previous. Do not fertilize with wood 
ashes or any material containing lime. Most 
varieties are planted 18 inches apart in rows 
4 ft. apart. 
Everbearing kinds produce more berries if 
planted in hills and not allowed to make 
plants. 
Fairfax. A new variety originated by the 
United States Department of Agriculture. 
Ripens early and fruits over a long season. 
Plants are disease resistant and bear im¬ 
mense crops of high quality fruit. A good 
shipper. $1.25 per 100, $10.00 per 1000. 
Howard 17. The old standby, still planted 
more than any other kind of Strawberry. 
Does well on light soils and is quite drouth 
resistant. $1.25 per 100, $10.00 per 1000. 
Sample. The great market berry of New 
England that easily held first place among 
commercial varieties until the introduction 
of Howard 17. Our experience has been that 
Sample does best on the hills and Howard 17 
excels along the river valleys. Sample is im¬ 
perfect flowering and should have one of the 
perfect flowering varieties planted with it for 
pollenizing. The berries are very large and 
uniform, holding up well till the end of the 
season. Immense cropper. Midseason. $1.25 
per 100, $10.00 per 1000. 
POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Many people think that best results are 
obtained by planting pot-grown Strawberry 
plants in August and September, as these 
plants will bear a fairly good crop the follow¬ 
ing season. We will have available for de¬ 
livery in August and September, 1937, pot- 
grown plants of leading varieties. Write us 
for varieties and prices.
