mer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in 
generous quantities until late in August. By 
this date berries begin to ripen upon the young 
or current year’s canes, which continue to pro¬ 
duce berries in increasing numbers until late 
autumn. . 
RANERE has a wonderful constitution, with¬ 
standing the severest winters as well as severe 
drought; does well on heavy soil, or on light, 
sandy soil; is a strong grower, with luxuriant 
foliage, which never suffers from sunburn.

St. Regis Everbearing. It is of pure American 
blood and of fine quality and hardihood. The 
canes enduring the severest cold uninjured. 
Plants of St. Regis planted in the early April gave 
ripe berries on the 20th of June of the same year. 
For four weeks thereafter , the yield was heavy and 
the canes continued 'to produce ripe fruit freely 
without intermission until the middle of October. 
The berries are large and firm, and full flavor 
to the very last. 
In addition to the bright crimson color and 
large size of the fruit it is so firm and rich in 
sugar that it will stand shipping two hundred 
miles, arriving at market in first-class order; 
and it can readily be kept in perfect condition 
for several days after being gathered. 
Dr. W. E. Walsh, Mayor of Morris, Ill., 
wrote October 24th, that he was still picking St. 
Regis and getting 75 cts. per quart, in Chicago. 
(Dr. Walsh’s planting to date totals 16,500 St. Regis and 
Ranere plants supplied by us.)

BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Cumberland. Largest black raspberry known; 
bush perfectly hardy, very productive; fruit 
larger than any other sort, quality unsurpassed. 
The great firmness of the berry makes it a splen¬ 
did shipper; ripens just before the Gregg; a 
mid-season variety. A very great acquisition. 
Gregg. Of good size, and fine quality; very pro¬ 
ductive and hardy. It takes the same position 
among the blackcaps as Cuthbert among the 
red sorts. 
Munger. The fruit resembles the Gregg, but 
larger. It is a better flavored berry than Gregg, 
tougher in texture and a better shipper. Extra 
fine for canning and evaporating. In dry season 
when most others are dry and seedy, Munger 
ripens up sweet and juicy. The canes are free 
from disease, upright in growth. 
BLACKBERRIES 
Plant on good land, moderately manured. Rows 
seven feet apart, three feet in the rows for field; 
prune as with raspberries. Form a hedge or tie 
to wire. Cultivate shallow. 
Prices, except as otherwise noted, strong plants, 
Si per doz.; $5 per 100. 
Early Harvest. A new variety of great promise, 
being exceedingly early in time of ripening and 
always reliable. The canes are strong and 
upright in growth, branching stout and vigorous. 
An enormous bearer. Berries sweet and of the 
highest quality.
