berries per acre than any other variety of black Rasp erry a is grown. 
The canes grow upright and where the Cumberland will grow ree or four 
canes thi* variety will have seven or eight, thus making t e yie per acre 
one'third more. The New Harbert will grow on any kind 01 soil and is 
free from all contagious diseases. We recommend planting em x7 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 P°pu lar Ras Pberry 
grown, the one safe and reliable commercial variety, because you ca P a , 
paying crop regularly. We call it the “Business Blackcap” because it succeeds everywhere

grown, this is the leading black variety, and it never fails to produce , * mar y hig 
crop every year. It is perfectly hardy, tremendously productive, the us , are vigorous, 
upright, strong and healthy. Berries extra large, glossy black, not equa y 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 its earliness, and. 
ability to mature its customary big yield in a very short time, usually xom . to 1 ° 
days. The plants are healthy, canes strong growers. Produces plenty ot bearing wood 
which insures a heavy crop of fruit. The berries, which are produced m clusters are 
large, welt colored and of first quality. Plum Farmer will give satisfaction everywhere. 
Ripens nearly a week earlier than Cumberland and can be worked in ce y with that 
variety.

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 winterkills 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. 
Red Raspberries 
Red Raspberries will do equally well on light or heavy soil; however, it should he 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, ft 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 ot 
growers everywhere, and everyone who has given it a trial is praising .he many unusual tea 
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 firm 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¬ 
ers have long looked for a good early Red Raspberry. 
They have tried King, Miller, Early June, etc., and al¬ 
though fairly good in many respects they have net been 
very profitable. It now looks as though the new Chief 
going to meet most of the requirements and become the 
greatest money-maker of them all—ripening 10 days 
before Latham, firmer, same good color, fine flavor 
and a heavy yielder.

Transplants 
This season we are offering a limited supply of choice twcyyear Latham, Cum' 
berland and Plum Farmer Raspberry and Eldorado Blackball y iranSpiaTTtST 
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. 
LUCRETIA. 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.
