Potted Plants—Grown and Shipped in “Fertile Pots’’ 
Tomato 
Our potted tomato plants are grown and ship- 
ped in No. 2% ‘‘Fertile Pots” (See page 86) which 
are set in the ground pots and all without dis- 
turbing the roots or checking their growth. At 
the time the plants reach the purchaser the pots 
are soft and resemble earth, and the roots grow 
through them readily. 
Our potted plants are large, strong and stocky. 
They are hardened in cold frames so can be set 
out early. They produce ripe fruit earlier and 
the loss in transplanting is practically nothing. 
The photograph to the left shows their fine sturdy 
growth. 
We can supply the following varieties: Victor, 
_ Bonny Best, John Baer, Pritchard’s Scarlet Top- 
yin. Atlan / per and Rutgers. 
Price: Doz. $1.00; 50 Plants $3.50; transportation paid. Not paid: 
50 Plants $2.50; 100 Plants $4.50. (Weight 100—60 lbs.)

“The plants arrived yesterday. They were fine, thrifty plants, all there, 
not a single mistake. Everything most satisfactory—as always.”

RASPBERRIES 
The varieties we list here are not only the best grown today but we 
have taken care to select strong well grown plants from disease free fields. 
Weight: Red varieties 20 lbs. per 100, Black and Purple varieties, 
35 lbs. per 100. 
Set the plants out in the spring 2% ft. apart in the row. The rows 
should be six feet apart. Keep free from weeds and the following year 
after planting you will have a good crop of berries. We shall be glad 
to quote prices on larger quantities at any lime. Please write. 
TAYLOR NEW. Red. Among the finest modern varieties. De- 
- veloped recently at the New York State Agricultural 
Experiment Station at Geneva, and has already become a widely 
planted kind. It is one of the best varieties in their trials. The berries 
are unusual in appearance being very large, long and somewhat conical 
in shape. They are a bright attractive red in color, sweet and of superb 
flavor. It is even considered by many superior to the well known 
Newburgh in this respect. 
The plants are tall and vigorous with sturdy heavy canes which do 
not require support. The Taylor is a hardy berry and very productive. 
In maturity it is a medium season variety ripening after Newburgh 
but a little earlier than Latham. 
Its many fine characteristics make this an ideal berry for the home 
garden and a profitable kind for commercial planting. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $1.00; 25 for $1.60; transportation paid. 
Not paid: $3.50 per 100. 
NEWBURGH. Red. Mosaic Resistant and Productive. The fruit 
of this fine variety is large, unusually firm, and does not crumble. 
The color is bright red and the flavor sweet and delicious. The plant 
is very hardy, bearing enormous crops. Because of the long fruiting 
laterals and heavy yield, it sometimes needs support. It is an early 
midseason variety ripening 3-4 days before Latham. Except in the 
Hudson Valley, Newburgh is almost entirely resistant to Mosaic, the 
disease which spoils so many raspberry plantings. It is now well 
established as a standard high quality midseason berry and is worthy 
of a place in every garden. 
Strong 1 year plants; Doz. 85c; 25 for $1.45; transportation paid. 
* Not paid: $3.25 per 100. 
LATHAM. Red. Still one of the best and most widely grown red rasp- 
berries. The fruit is very large, of deep red color, firm of texture and 
of good flavor. The plants are hardy and enormously productive, 
fruiting early and continuing to bear over a long period of time. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. 85c; 25 for $1.45; transportation paid. 
Not paid: $3.25 per 100. 

PLEASE NOTE—Raspberries and Blackberries, in quanti- 
ties listed “transportation paid” will be shipped correctly pruned 
so that no cutting back will be necessary when you plant them. 


The Taylor Ran bariar 
INDIAN SUMMER, Red- AUTUMN FRUITING (Everbear- 
ing). This is the most satisfactory fall 
bearing berry and should be planted in every garden. It bears a fine 
crop in early summer and a second crop in the fall on the tips of the new 
canes. In our climate the fall crop starts to bear about mid September 
and continues until severe freezing weather. We have actually had 
fine fruit of Indian Summer in the middle of November. 
The fruit is large, medium red in color, of mild flavor and excellent 
quality. The plants are above medium height, vigorous and hardy and 
bear enormous crops. See photo on page 6. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $1.10; 25 for $1.75; transportation paid. 
Not paid: $4.00 per 100. 
SODUS. Large Purple Raspberry. This is a cross between Dundee 
(black) and Newburgh (red). The berries are a medium purple in 
color, firm, attractive and enormous in size. They are the largest 
raspberries we have ever seen and in spite of the size they remain firm 
when picked. The flavor is slightly more acid than Columbian but 
delicious both for table use and canning. Sodus is an early variety, 
ripening shortly after Latham. 
The plants are vigorous, very hardy, resistant to drought and pro- 
ductive. A valuable addition to both home and commercial plantings. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $1.00; 25 for $1.70; transportation paid. 
Not paid: $3.75 per 100.
