offer a selected list of sorts we know’ will give satisfaction and Avhich are of value in the home 
CHEERY CURRANT 
CURRANTS 
Currants are perfectly hardy and may be planted 
in spring or fall. They succeed well in a cool, moist 
soil and should be planted about 3 ft. apart and well 
cultivated. The currant worm can be controlled by 
applications of Slugshot, and the old non-productive 
wood should be kept pruned out. 
CHERRY CURRANT: This is a large, deep red 
variety. Fruit of the largest size, rather acid, short 
bunches, strong erect grower. Each 2.5c and up. 
RASPBERRIES 
The best time to plant raspberries is in the spring 
months. Plant 3 ft. apart and keep in good condition. 
Old w’ood must be cut back as soon as it has fruited 
to give vigor to young canes. 
ST. REGIS EVERBEARING: Fruit brilliant crimson, 
of good quality, one of the best varieties. 5 plants 
for 35c. 
BLACKBERRIES 
For garden culture plant 2 ft. apart and allow three 
canes to a hill. Pinch canes back when about 3 ft. 
high to keep bushes dwarf and compact. 
EARLY HARVEST: A very early productive variety, 
with large-sized sweet berries. 5 plants 35c. 
GOOSEBERRIES 
This fruit is so useful for cooking when green or ripe, and 
may be canned with such facility that it is beginning to be cul¬ 
tivated very extensively for both home and market use. It re¬ 
quires the same cultivation and treatment for worms as the 
currant. 
DOWNING: Whitish green, vigorous and prolific, of splendid 
quality, for desserts or cooking, fine for general culture. 
Each 25c and up. 
RED JACKET: (Josselyn) Large smooth berries, of good 
flavor. Fruit large, bright red, an excellent variety to plant. 
Each 35c and up.

plants are set 12 inches apart, in rows and 2 ft. betw’een rows. 
A hght mulch of leaves or straw is applied after the ground 
freezes in winter. This covering should be removed soon after 
the frost leaves the ground in spring.

l\IAST,?DON: This variety is a new development in early 
everbearing strawberries, giving heavy yields of uniformly 
large, well colored highly flavored, firm, sw’eet and attractive

ing until cold fall freezing weather. Doz. 25c; 25 for 45c;
