RASPBERRIES 
Home-grown Raspberries are always the sweetest. In this locality, Raspberries grown for the markets have 
possibilities of paying well. 
The Raspberry succeeds best in a deep, rich soil and well repays generous treatment. The sucker varieties 
should be'planted from 2 to 3 feet apart in rows that are 5 to 6 feet apart. Three to five canes should be left 
in each hill to bear fruit, others should be cut out as they appear. Good, clean culture is necessary to obtain 
best results. Varieties that root from the tip should be planted 2J4 to 3 l A feet apart, in rows that are 6 to 7 feet 
apart, varying in distance, according to the richness of the soil and the habit of growth of the different varieties. 
CHIEF (Red). Latham’s only rival. Our latest red 
Raspberry of real merit. Extremely hardy and 
mosaic-resistant, and we consider it superior to 
Latham. Ten days earlier than Latham, will out- 
yield Latham, and almost equal in size, with better 
quality. 
CUMBERLAND (Black). Largest Black Raspberry 
known; unusually strong grower, perfectly hardy, 
with large, oval, glossy black, firm fruit. The most 
popular black. 
PLUM FARMER (Black). Standard American 
blackcap. Hardy, evenly ripened crops of large size 
marketable fruits. 
CUTHBERT (Red). One of the most popular reds, 
but i t has now been surpassed by both the Latham 
and Chief. 
LATHAM (Red). The berries are large, dark red, 
and of uniform size. Commences bearing usually 
the first year. Covers an extra long fruiting season. 
Vigorous. Perfectly hardy in all parts of the coun¬ 
try. 
ST. REGIS (Red Everbearing Raspberry). Brilliant 
crimson, very large, juicy, highest quality. Ships 
well. Canes very strong, vigorous, hardy and will 
endure severest cold without injury. Everbearing 
and exceptionally prolific. First of the crop comes 
very early. The only successful and profitable 
“Everbearing” Raspberry.

STRAWBERRIES—For the Home and Market 
YOU WILL GET BETTER RESULTS WITH OUR EXTRA STRONG PLANTS 
Strawberries always command good prices on the market and are easily grown. They 
will succeed in any soil that is adapted to ordinary farm or garden crops. The soil should 
be thoroughly prepared to a good depth and enriched with stable manure or good 
commercial fertilizer before planting. For large plantings, plants should be set in rows 
3 Yi feet apart and 18 inches apart in the row. They may be grown closer together in 
the small gardens. The first year after planting the runners should be trained onto the 
row, thereby forming a solid mat. Strawberry plants should have a covering of leaves 
or straw through the Winter which should remain on in the Spring. This will help to 
keep the fruit clean. 
We grow Strawberries for plants only and ours are not to be compared with, those 
taken from bearing patches where they were allowed to stand several years in stiff soil 
without being cultivated. Our Strawberry plants are transplanted to new soil each 
season and, therefore, are far superior to the low priced plants from bearing patches. 
The advantage of using these new plants from the nursery row will be apparent when the 
first crop comes in, for it will more than offset the first cost of the plants. Our deep, 
sandy loam soil is especially adapted for growing Strawberries, for the plants develop 
exceptionally fine root systems. 
GEM. The most valuable Everbearing yet introduced. Planted side by side with 
Mastodon produced five times as many berries, and more plants. Our objection to the 
old Everbearing varieties was that the berries were too scattered, which is not the 
case with the Gem. With us it started bearing in May after being transplanted in April 
and bore continually throughout the Summer. No sooner than one crop was har¬ 
vested, bloom for another crop was appearing. The berries are large and of excellent 
quality, somewhat rounder than Mastodon and a brighter red. Up until the Gem 
was introduced, we hesitated to recommend any Everbearing Strawberry as a com¬ 
mercial proposition but do not hesitate to recommend this one for commercial culture 
as well as being the ideal b<“rry for the home garden. 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries are being planted for commercial use more extensively now man here¬ 
tofore. Blackberries should receive much the same general treatment as Raspberries. 
The pruning should be governed by the growth and should be severe. Pinch back the 
shoots when they have reached a height of 3 or 4 feet. 
BLOWERS. Claimed to be the hardiest 
and most productive and to bring on 
the market the highest price of all 
Blackberries. Large size, jet black, good 
shipper, best quality. 
ELDORADO. Very hardy and vigorous 
canes, their yeild is enormous. Large, 
jet black berries in large clusters and 
ripen well together; very sweet, melting, 
no hard core. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY 
The first to ripen. Ten days earlier than Blackberries. Brings a hig price on any market 
and makes real profits for the grower. Of the Blackberry type but produced on a trailing 
vine instead of an upright bush. Very hardy and disease-resitant. Berries are extra 
large, lustrous black, sweet juicy. Unexcelled for canning. 
THE SENSATIONAL BOYSENBERRY 
A distinct new variety of vine berry produced by a cross between Loganberry, Rasp¬ 
berry and Blackberry. Very hardy, having withstood temperatures of 15 degrees below 
zero; near drought resistant. A heavy producer of immense size, sweet and delicious 
berries with but very few seeds. Fruit hangs on many days when ripe. Vines start bear¬ 
ing the next year after planting and continue many years. Bernes are extremely large, 
many measuring two inches long. 
THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY 
(U. S. Patent No. 4) 
A new patented fruit which has advantage of the Standard Youngberry by being 
thornless. A cross between the Dewberry and Loganberry. Very vigorous grower. 
Abundant bearer. Should be in every home garden, as well as it is a most promising 
commercial fruit. _. _ _
