THE GIANT HIMALAYA BERRY. 
p:verybody will want to try the Giant Himalaya 
Kerry to see what they can do with it. On our 
larm, so far. it seems to be a failure as a fruiter. 
It is a very rank grower and makes more wood 
growth in a season than a vigorous grape vine 
While I was at Portland, Oregon, last June, 
Mr. A. Brownell. President of the Pacific Coast 
Nurserymen’s Association, told me that lie had 
one Himalaya vine that covered the entire end 
of his residence and produced enough berries to 
supply a family. 
The Farm Journal for March contains the fol¬ 
lowing from W. F. Bellairs, of Missouri: “The 
dry weather did not seem to affect the juiciness 
of the berries, and they did not dry up as black¬ 
berries did. People who thought I was foolish 
to plant them, say now, that I have the best 
thing in the country, and liave asked me to 
reserve plants for them. When one. considers 
that my berries were planted on ground that is 
only from 6 to 24 inches above solid rock, and 
was baked hard as a brick, the wonder is that 
they had any life left in them at all; it must be 
that these roots go down into the crevices and 
get enough moisture to serve them. A fine point 
about the Himalaya berries is they get jet black 
several days before they are dead ripe, conse¬ 
quently they make an excellent berry to ship to 
market.” Price, selected plants, 25 for $1; 100, 
$3.50: 1000, $30. Medium sized plants, 25 for 75c; 
100, $2.50; 1000, $20. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
Floral Park, X. Y., July 29th, 1913, 
The stmw’berry seed, started in glass, did. well and the 
plants are doing finely, but have not fruited yet. With 
us, the Americus bears the best in the fall, of any varie¬ 
ties we have tested. JOHN LEWIS CHILDS (Seedsman). 
St. Catharines, Ontario, Can., Pebniary 6th, 1914. 
I purchased some Royal Purple raspberries of you 
and those that lived gave splendid satisfaction. They 
remained in the P, O. here a week or ten dtiys. They 
were packed excellently and it was no fault of yours 
that only about half of them lived. I cropped them 
beside the Columbian and they .surpassed the Columbian 
in bearing juid are a much finner bem'. 
REYNOLDS ALEXANDER. 
Berlin, Ontario, Can., February 7th, 1914. 
I bought one dozen each Americus and Francis of you. 
The Francis is much the better of the two. I put a plant 
and a small plate of ripe strawberries on exhibition at 
our local Horticultural show. It attracted considerable 
attention. It was given considerable notice in our local 
papers and was reported in some of the city papers in 
western Ontario. I was asked to write an article or give 
particulars to the Canadian Horticulturist. I also got 
some of your mixed fall bearing strawberry seed which 
I planted in the house about April 10th and outside some 
time in May. Five of the plants produced strawberries 
in the late fall. One a female or pistillate produced a 
pink very sw<*et berry. One of the other seedlings pro¬ 
duced a well-shaped strawberry of a cone shape which 
started ripening at the tip and gniduallv advanced to the 
base. ROBERT W. SCHNAN. 
Watertown, Wis., January 20th, 1914. 
My boy found two seed balls on the Hastings potato 
that I got of you years ago, and we planted the seeds 
of them last spring. 'I’hey came up and wo transplanted 
them and had some 60 hills. I never saw seedlings grow 
like they did. When the frost killed the vines they were 
nearly as large a.s the field potatoes. The seedlings are 
all white, some are long and some are round. I saved 
one out of each hill for planting next spring. Lots of them 
are larger than a hen’s egg. The Hastings has great 
vitality and grows very large here. The last two yf'ur.s 
T got the first prominm on tliem at our Inter-County Fair 
for the largest potato exhibited there. They were 
monsters sure. JOSEPH MePAKLAND.
