ness of shell, absence of pellicle, certainty of 
crop, size, productivity, absence of blanks, in 
fact, in all of the qualities and qualifications 
of filberts, the Brixnut scores so high that its 
excellence is quite generally admitted. 
Brixnut produces crops of large size nuts, 
free husking. The tree requires substantial 
winter pruning for the first four or five years 
to attain a strong, upright growing tendency. 
HALLES GIANTE —A very large, round nut 
very similar to Brixnut, can be sold as Brix-

FRUITS 
We send out only strong plants that usually 
bear the first year under favorable conditions. 
For large commercial plantings and for 
spring delivery only we will be pleased to quote 
prices on application on tips or younger plants. 
Culture of Small Fruits 
Bramble fruits like blackberries, raspberries, 
dewberries, etc., should have all old wood 
(older than the previous season’s growth) cut 
out close to the ground each spring and past 
season’s growth should be trimmed back to 3 
or 4 feet in height. All old canes should be re¬ 
moved and should be burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will 
give good results. A strawberry bed should 
have a light coating 2 inches deep of coarse 
hay, or straw that is free from weed seed, after 
the ground has just frozen; and in the spring 
just about the time growth starts, this cover¬ 
ing should be raked between the rows and 
allowed to remain there until the fruit has 
been harvested. Then it should be removed and 
cultivation be resumed. 
The New Boysenberry 
The newest thing in berries and one of the 
most promising is the Boysenberry. This berry 
closely resembles Youngberry but is larger and 
more productive and its flavor is slightly dif¬ 
ferent. Boysenberry starts bearing when 
Youngberry is about half through its season, 
thus lengthening the berry season. Boysen¬ 
berry has been a sensation wherever it has 
fruited. Order now. Supply is limited. 
YOUNGBERRY —This is one of the finest 
berries grown. Delicious raw or in pies, jams, 
jelly or canned. Grows on a trellis like a logan¬ 
berry. A dozen plants will amply supply the 
average family. 
RASPBERRIES 
CUMBERLAND — The largest black rasp¬ 
berry known In hardiness and productiveness 
it is unexcelled by any other variety. 
CUTHBERT —Canes tall, vigorous and very 
productive; berries large, conical, rich crimson 
color; best quality; good shipper. The canes 
are very thrifty growers, upright in shape, 
light yellow color and generally quite hardy. 
LATHAM— A new red raspberry developed 
by Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm a few 
years ago. Hardy, vigorous, free from Mosaic 
disease. Berries large, firm, color brilliant red. 
Delightful flavor. Fine for table or canning. 
Earlier than Cuthbert. Should be planted ex¬ 
tensively.
