from ground up. Grows rapidly, and soon forms a most beautiful tree for any purpose.

it is absolutely round or globular, very dense in growth, and does not require shearing. 
The foliage is a deep, dark green, flat and beautifully carved like all of the Arbor-Vitaes.

and foreground work. Our Globes are beautiful specimens that give charming effects in 
landscape planting. Balled and burlapped, 12x12 in. spread, twice transplanted, $1.00 each; 
2 or more, 75c each. 
Pfitzer's Juniper

This remarkable tree is today in the front rank of ornamental evergreens. Its great 
popularity is due to its ability to thrive in all parts of the country and under .almost any 
conditions of soil or exposure. An important tree in the far South and also a perfect grower 
in extremely cold sections. One of the few evergreens that will stand considerable shade. 
Color is deep green, with a grayish cast. Strong, vigorous type 
of foliage. Should be in every evergreen planting. Balled and 
burlapped, 18 to 24 in. trees, twice transplanted, $1.25 each;

mens. for background borders, and in places away from buildings. However,

The New Logan Raspberry 
Eldorado Blackberries 
Blackberries 
Blackberries thrive equally well on any light or heavy 
soil and as they are practically immune from all disease 
and insects, one planting will provide a big income for a 
number of years. For field culture, Blackberries are usu' 
ally planted 4 feet apart in the row, with the rows 7 feet 
apart, requiring about 1600 plants per acre. For best re' 
suits they should be confined to hills, allowing only five or 
six strong shoots per hill. The new growth each summer 
should be trimmed down to about 24 inches and allowed 
to branch—this gives a stronger, sturdier bush. 
ALFRED. This Blackberry has become a favorite for 
home use and market. The fruit is of the finest quality 
for table use, as it is nearly seedless and coreless. The 
flavor is sweet and enticing. Berries grow to immense size. 
Ripens early, perfectly hardy, a vigorous grower. 
ELDORADO. Never winter-kills and always produces 
a full crop of jet black berries of enormous size. The 
hardiest and prettiest of all Blackberries, with that deli' 
cious aroma and flavor which can only be found in a wild 
Blackberry. It is valuable for all purposes, both home and 
commercial, being so very firm that it will remain in good 
condition for three and four days, and can be sent to dis' 
tant markets where it always commands the highest price.

Black Raspberries 
Black Raspberries should be planted on ^rather 
suits. Gravelly and loamy soils are best. -, — . , 
in the row, rows being from 6 to 7 feet apart. The Y . j? . ° , each 
year are tipped or cut off when about 24 inches high, and the laterals are 
trimmed to about 6 or 8 inches in length the following spring. Leave about 
five good, strong shoots per bush. 
T L 0 Mo,,, Urtrhort The New Harbert is a variety ol black Rasp- 
I ne new tiaroen berry which we introduced three years ago. It 
is a large berry and a vigorous grower, and will produce one-third more 
berries per acre than any other variety of black Raspberry is grown. 
The canes grow upright and where the Cumberland will grow three or four 
canes thi« variety will have seven or eight, thus making the yie d per acre 
one'third more. The New Harbert will grow on any knd s01 *» * nc * 1S 
free from all contagious diseases. We recommend planting t em 4x7 feet 
Hope you will try some of our new variety this coming spring, as it will 
be the leading variety in a year or two. 
CUMBERLAND. Without question the most profitable and popular black Raspberry 
grown, the one safe and reliable commercial variety, because you can WJd .on a big 
paying crop regularly. We call it the “Business Blackcap” because it auc<«ds everywhere 
-light or heavy so.l-East, West. North or South— wherever you find Raspberries 
grown, this is the leading black variety, and it never fails to produce its customary big 
crop every year. It is perfectly hardy, tremendously productive, the buabea are vigorous, 
upright, strong and healthy. Berries extra large, glossy black, not equalled by any other 
variety in quality, flavor and appearance. It's good to eat and good to se . 
PLUM FARMER. Is very popular with many growers on account of iw earliness, and 
ability to mature its customary big yield in a very short time, usually m 12 to 16 
days. The plants are healthy, canes strong growers. Produces plenty of bearing wood 
which insures a heavy crop of fruit. The berries, which are produced in clusters are 
large, well colored and of first quality. Plum Farmer will give satisfacUon everywhere. 
Ripens nearly a week earlier than Cumberland and can be worked in n cely with that 
variety. 
Tho No\a, I nnan The most dependable early black Raspberry. R.pcns one week 
me new Logan ear Ilir than Cumberland. Berries are extremely large delicious, 
and the pickings from first to last are of uniformly high quality. New Logan holds up well 
through drought, and is highly disease-resistant, 
crumble. 
f UlgU J ■. 
Free from seediness and a tendency to 
Red Raspberries 
Red Raspberries will do equally well on light or heavy soil; however, it should be well 
drained. For field culture. Red Raspberries should be planted about 3 feet apart in the row, 
with the rows 7 feet apart, requiring about 2000 plants per acre. In the spring, all canes 
should be cut back to about 3 feet and branches trimmed to about 6 inches. Six or seven good 
strong canes are sufficient to a bush, and the berries will be higher in quality. 
LATHAM. Although a comparatively new variety, it is entirely past the experimental 
stage, and we unhesitatingly recommend it as one of the best Raspberries ever grown. It was 
originated in Minnesota, and has never been known to winter-kill even though exposed to 45 
degrees below zero. The sensational yields of this variety have attracted the attention of 
growers everywhere, and everyone who has given it a trial is praising the many unusual fea' 
tures found in Latham. Is a tall, vigorous grower; the canes are extra heavy, well able to sup' 
port the tremendous load of fruit. The foliage is a healthy, dark green, tough and leathery, 
highly resistant to insects. Ripens about the same time as Cuthbert and covers a longer fruit' 
ing season than any other Raspberry. Color a dark, rich red; quality of the best, with full 
Raspberry flavor. 
EARLY KING. Probably the most widely grown of any red Raspberry on the market. It 
comes early when prices are high and yields extra heavy crops. The berries are large, firm, a 
beautiful color and easily picked. The bush is strong growing and remarkably free from dis' 
ease, is one of the hardiest sorts grown and can be depended on for a good crop every year. 
CUTHBERT. For many years Cuthbert was the leading variety and is still grown exten' 
sively in many localities. Cuthbert is a vigorous grower and produces an enormous amount 
of fruit, equally desirable for home use and market. Begins bearing about ten days later than 
Early King, berries are large, conical, dark red, highly flavored and good quality. A good 
hardy sort and can be grown in any climate. 
CHIEF. A seedling of Latham and has turned out to be by far the 
finest early Red for general planting. The fruit is not quite as large as 
Latham but is bright red, very lirm and a tremendously heavy yielder, 
producing 20 per cent more than Latham in the Minnesota test plots. 
The Chief is practically immune from Mosaic and Mildew and is even 
hardier and of better flavor than Latham. Raspberry grow¬

Transplants 
This season we are offering a limited supply of choice two-year Latham, Cum¬ 
berland and Plum Farmer Raspberry and Eldorado Blackberry trsnSpfrattTST 
These are healthy, one-year tip plants that have been lined out and grown 
in our fields for a second season, every one strong, of bearing age and size. 
These will produce plenty of berries this summer if not cut back when planted, 
but for best commercial results we recommend close pruning when setting 
out. Order early to be sure of getting these transplants. 
Dewberries 
These are a sort of Blackberry, but the vines are not self- 
supporting, as are the Blackberries. The usual method of 
propagation is as follows: They are set 3 feet in the row, 
rows 6 feet apart. Short posts are set about every fifth vine 
and a wire stretched about three feet from the ground. Each 
spring all strong vines are tied to the wire, and the ends that 
are too long are cut off about ten inches above wire. 
LUCRET1A. This is the best variety of Dewberry that we 
have fruited and is one that gives universal satisfaction. Ber¬ 
ries are very large, in fact, being larger than any Blackberry 
grown. They are jet black, coreless, sweet and juicy. Dew¬ 
berries are free from rust and all other fungous diseases. 
Plant at least a few for home use. See Price List. 
Currants 
Fine for Jelly—Easy to Grow—Very Productive 
The Currant is one of the most valued of small fruits. Be¬ 
ing very hardy, they do not winter-kill, are easy of cultivation, 
requiring little care. 
PERFECTION. Cross of Fay’s Prolific with White Grape 
and combines the best qualities of both parents. In color it 
is beautiful bright red and of a size larger than the Fay; the 
clusters average longer and the size of the berries is main¬ 
tained to the end of the bunch. It is one of the most produc¬ 
tive Currants we have ever known. 
LONDON MARKET. A fine red Currant. Quality excel¬ 
lent with mild flavor. Bush healthy and vigorous.

mulch of stable manure in the late fall, will repay you well.

Martha Washington 
Asparagus 
Rhubarb should be grown in every garden, as it provides ma¬ 
terial for early spring pies and fresh table sauce. It is also val¬ 
uable for canning. Plant a few roots this spring and you will 
have a fresh supply of this early 
“fruit.’* This variety differs greatly 
from the old “pie plant,“ in that it 
has larger, more tender stalks and 
a milder sub-acid flavor. Our roots 
are strong and priced right. Include _ 
a few of them in your order this {

Strong, 2-year, 6 for 50c; 25 for 
82.00; 100 lor $6.00. 
This new pedigreed, rust-resistant Asparagus is the result of 
breeding by the United States Bureau of Plant Industry. 
We are listing this one variety only as that is the best and are 
listing it in only one size, the two-year, which we consider to 
be the very best Asparagus buy in the country. Why let a few 
cents’ difference in price keep you from having the best, both as 
to variety and size? See Price List.
