COLUMBIA NURSERY CO. — PORTLAND, OREGON 
CHIEF has been tested over a wide area in 
the past ten years and its behavior has been 
carefully watched. It has proven hardy, a 
heavy cropper, excellent quality, a good ship¬ 
per, resistant to disease, and in addition it is 
10 days early. It possesses many of the good 
qualities of Latham, some of them to even a 
greater degree than the parent, the main point 
of difference being in season of ripening. Chief 
is ten to twelve days earlier to ripen than 
Latham, thus giving us a profitable berry for 
early market. 
LLOYD GEORGE —If we could have but one 
red raspberry in our garden it would be Lloyd 
George. Fruit is large, quality high and very 
productive. Produces a fall crop which is espe¬ 
cially productive if irrigation is possible, as is 
often the case in the home garden. 
GOOSEBERRY — Oregon Champion is still 
about the only gooseberry in local use. A few 
bushes of this berry should be in every home 
planting as the berry makes a nice canned 
fruit and excellent pies and ripens early in 
the spring before any other fresh fruit is avail¬ 
able. 
CURRANTS —Perfection is the best red vari¬ 
ety and White Grape the leading white vari¬ 
ety.' No housewife who puts up jelly will be 
without this fruit. Half a dozen well cared for 
bushes will provide fruit for an ample supply 
of jelly.

STRAWBERRIES 
Standard Varieties 
Our plants are all taken from certified plant 
beds, strong vigorous roots, washed and 
trimmed, and neatly packed in strawberry 
crates. Our prices are low considering supe¬ 
rior quality stock. We assure you of value re¬ 
ceived in buying our plants. 
Remember, in buying berry plants it never 
pays to secure plants from an unlicensed

they are cheap. 
We can only handle plants that are field 
inspected and certified true to name. The cost 
is reasonable with no regrets.
