Chief Raspberry 
HARDY RASPBERRIES 
CHIEF. This is the latest production from the Minn. 
Fruit Breeding Farm, and the hardiest. If it receives 
sufficient moisture it should winter and bear well al¬ 
most anywhere. Wonderful quality but not as good a 
commercial berry as the Latham, although a heavier 
yielder. Ideal for the home garden. Price, doz., 50c; 
100, $3.00. Postpaid, doz., 60c. 
LATHAM. The best known production from the Minn. 
Station and the standard market variety over the coun¬ 
try today. Not quite as hardy as Chief but a better 
commercial berry, large, red, of high quality and uni¬ 
form in ripening. Should be planted in a sheltered lo¬ 
cation on good soil w'here it will receive plenty of mois¬ 
ture. Price, doz., 40c; 100, $2.50. Postpaid, doz., 50c. 
Latham Raspberry 
I GOOSEBERRIES 
HOUGHTON. An enormously productive, old variety. Fruit is smooth, pale 
red, tender and well flavored. Of vigorous growth, slender and spreading. 
Not subject to mildew. Strong 2-year plants. Doz., $1.50. Postpaid, doz., 
$1.70. 
Houghton 
NATIVE WILD GOOSEBERRY. The wild gooseberry is of value both as a 
fruit and ornamental. It produces a very considerable quantity of excel¬ 
lent fruit which is only a little smaller than the tame sorts. It is a hand¬ 
some ornamental, being the very first thing to leaf out in the Spring when 
the vivid green of its new leaves gives the first seasonal touch to the 
shrubbery clumps; and among the last to go in the Fall, at which time it 
becomes a reddish bronze. Each, 25c; doz., $2.60. Postpaid, each, 30c; doz., 
$2.25. 
PIXWELL. This is one of the wonderful new 
gooseberries produced by North Dakota’s fa¬ 
mous plant breed'er, Professor A. F. Yeager 
at the State Experiment Station. We feel 
that it is a very fortunate event for us to be 
able to offer this remarkable new fruit. It 
is entirely hardy here with us, is of remark¬ 
able vigor and quick growth. The berries 
are very large, borne in huge quantities, and, 
of particular value, they are borne on long 
stems which, in combination with the fact 
that they are not very thorny, makes them 
very easy to pick— hence their name. Price, 
each, 50c; doz., $5.00. Postpaid, each, 55c; 
doz., $o.o0. 
Pixwell 
Red Lake Currants 
> CURRANTS 
RED LAKE. This is a recent development from the Minn. 
Fruit Breeding Farm, and is one of their outstanding 
productions. It is a red currant, hardier and better in 
general quality than anything previously offered in the 
Northwest. Price, each, 30c; doz., $3.00. Postpaid, each, 
35c; doz., $3.50. 
WHITE GRAPE. This is the sweetest of the tame currants. 
It is a clear translucent white in color, bunches are large 
as is the fruit. A steady annual bearer and altogether a 
most satisfactory variety. Each, 15c; doz., $1.75. Postpaid, 
each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 
NATIVE BLACK (Ribes Floridum). We have a limited supply of transplanted stock, nursery grown 
from seed, of this kind, which can be used for fruiting or ornamental purposes. The fruits are large, 
sweet, and make excellent jelly. Each, stocky, 20c; doz., $2.00. By mail, each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 
HAZELNUTS 
This is the only nut bearing plant native to 
North Dakota and hardy all over the state. Since 
our bushes are grown from nuts gathered from 
wild northern bushes they are likely to be a mix¬ 
ture of both the common species, rostrata and 
americana. The hazelnut grows from four to six 
feet, a dense bush, and the nuts hang on in clus¬ 
ters and may be picked fairly green. Nuts are edi¬ 
ble and of good flavor, related to the filbert. Each, 
2 to 3 ft., 25c; 10. $2.25. Postpaid, each, 30c; 10, 
$2,50, 
HORSERADISH 
Bohemian. A particularly large and smooth va¬ 
riety which has replaced all other sorts. Postpaid, 
doz., 35c. F. O. B. Bismarck, doz., 30c.
