RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT 
MYATTS LINNEAUS—This is one of the easiest crops to 
grow. It is the first thing in the spring to furnish material for 
pies and sauce. It is large, tender, very early and yields abun¬ 
dantly. It is very pink. Just plant a few roots near your home 
and you will have rhubarb for many years. This is the best 
variety and the prices are reasonable. 
Prices: 3 for 25c; 8 for 50c; 20 for $1.00; 50 for $2.25; 
100 for $4.00. Postpaid. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
LATHAM (The Best Producing Raspberry)—This is prob¬ 
ably the best variety of red raspberries at the present time. 
It produces a large berry of very fine flavor. Our plants are 
free from any mosaic disease. When you buy our plants you 
will not have to worry about this troublesome raspberry dis¬ 
ease. With us it does not start to yield, quite as early as the 
Cuthbert or Chief varieties, but will probably bear more berries 
and show more profit to you than any other variety. The quali¬ 
ty is fine. 
Prices: 6 for 50c; 12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.50; 50 for $2.50; 
100 for $4.00. Postpaid. 
CUTHBERT (The Old Standard Red Raspberry)—This va¬ 
riety has been raised longer than any of the other varieties. 
Perhaps it has not produced the tremendous crops of the 
Lathams but it is a sure cropper and gives a good crop on al¬ 
most any type of soil. The plants make a vigorous growth and 
produce bright red berries of a good size. We have raised 
Cuthbert raspberries for a great many years and they have 
never missed a crop. You will not be disappointed with Cuth¬ 
bert Raspberries. 
Prices: 6 for 50c; 12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.50; 50 for $2.50: 
100 for $4.00. Postpaid.

The 500 Howard plants I bought some few years ago bore 
well and now I am mailing an order for 1,000 more plants as 
I am satisfied in dealing with you.
