La France 
King of Raspberries 
(EVERBEARING) 
Raspberries from June to November! From your own garden to your own 
table! La France Everbearing Raspberry is Scheepers’ latest introduction 
to the world of horticulture. Immense clusters! Giant berries—twice 
the size of the ordinary varieties! Firm, luscious fruit; deep-colored, 
wonderfully rich-flavored! And few seeds! 
Tested and Proved for Three Years 
Continuous Crop—Easily Propagated 
La France Everbearing is a 
remarkable plant. Its hardi¬ 
ness and habits-its prolific 
bearing qualities, and its ease 
of propagation-make it a 
horticultural phenomenon. 
Planted early in the spring, it 
loses no time getting started. 
Begins bearing as early as the 
first week of July (the first 
season) and “never lets up” 
—keeps right on with break 
after break, cluster-laden 
shoots, until all vegetation is 
completely frost-checked for 
the season. Even then its re¬ 
markable nature continues in 
evidence: La F ranee has 
demonstrated its hardiness by 
surviving temperatures as low 
as 30° below zero. 
La France Everbearing Rasp¬ 
berry propagates freely and 
very rapidly. A dozen plants 
will produce a good-sized 
berry patch in an incredibly 
short time. 
Its rapid growth, its hardi¬ 
hood to withstand extreme 
cold, its immunity from fun¬ 
gus and insect diseases, its 
remarkable all-season produc¬ 
tion of fruit, make La France 
Everbearing by all odds the 
raspberry for home gardener, 
fruit grower or farmer. 
Now’s the time to order. Supply is Very limited
