discarded other varieties and growing this exclu¬ 
sively. 
Dewberries

These are low trailing blackberries, with fruit of 
large size and best quality. Ripening one to two 
weeks earlier than the blackberries. Very easy cul¬ 
ture. Profitable for home or market. 
LUCRETIA. One of the low-growing trailing black¬ 
berries; in size and quality it equals any of the tall- 
growing sorts. Perfectly hardy, healthy and re¬ 
markably productive, with large, showy flowers. The 
fruit, which ripens early, is often one and one-half 
inches long by one inch in diameter; soft, sweet and 
luscious throughout. 
Raspberries 
Strong plants, 75c doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
Raspberries will succeed in any good soil suitable 
for garden vegetables, and amply repay high culture. 
The best fertilizer is ground bone. Plant in rows 4 
feet apart and plants 3 feet apart in the rows. Pinch 
tops out of young canes when 3 feet high, so they 
will branch and become stocky. Cut out all old 
wood which dies as soon as the fruit all ripens. 
CHIEF. A red Raspberry of real merit. Extremely 
hardy and mosaic resistant. 
ST. REGIS. A genuine, practical, profitable, con- 
tinuous-to-fall bearing red raspberry. Fruit com¬ 
mences to ripen with the earliest and continues on 
young canes until October. Berries bright crimson, 
large size, rich, sugary, with full raspberry flavor. 
Flesh firm and meaty, a good shipper. Wonderfully 
prolific. Canes stocky, of strong growth, with 
abundance of dark green feathery foliage. 
Youngberries 
Youngberries are universally liked and easily 
grown. They are among our largest berries of dark 
wine color, have a minimum of seeds, are highly 
flavored, and yield a rich-looking, cherry-colored 
juice. 
Youngberries thrive where any other bush fruit 
grow, but do best in states the same latitude as Ohio 
and South.

variety of great promise that is being planted largely 
in every asparagus section. The stalks are large, 
dark green, with a heavy purple overtone. The tips 
are tight and firm and do not open until well out of 
of the ground. 
Strawberries 
These varieties, the best for home and market, are 
named in order of ripening: 
Shipped from Delaware postpaid. 
BLAKEMORE. A promising New Variety that was 
released by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in 
1930. We have thoroughly tested it here in our county 
and find it has much to recommend it to the planters. 
It is a very free plant maker and responds quickly 
to good treatment. It is an abundant bearer, the fruit 
averages large and retains its bright attractive red 
color even afer being picked several days. It can be 
classed as a good shipper. $1.00 per 100; $1.60 per 
250; $5.00 per 1000. 
FAIRFAX. Released for introduction by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture spring 1933. From our 
own observation the Fairfax and Dorsett are all that 
has been said about them by the Department and 
Introducers. We believe they will prove to be all 
that is claimed for them and if they do, no grower 
of Strawberries can afford to be without them. The 
best garden early berry. $1.25 per 100; $2.00 per 250; 
$6.50 per 1000.
