RASPBERRIES 
Home-grown Raspberries are always the sweetest. In this locality Rasp- 
berries grown for the markets have possibilities of paying well. 
The Raspberry succeeds best in a deep, rich soil and well repays generous 
treatment. The red varieties should be planted from 2 to 3 feet apart in 
rows 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. Black cap varieties should be planted 
26 to 3 feet apart in rows 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 and will outyield the Latham; 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. 
LATHAM (Red). The berries are large, dark red, and of uniform size. Com- 
mences bearing usually the first year. Covers an extra long fruiting season. 
Vigorous. Perfectly hardy in all parts of the country. 
LOGAN (Black). A new black cap Raspberry of excellent quality. Prolific. 
One week earlier than the Cumberland and highly resistant to mosaic 
and other diseases. 
ST. REGIS (Red Everbearing Raspberry). Brilliant crimson, very large, 
juicy, highest quality. Ships well. Vigorous and hardy. Everbearing and 
exceptionally prolific. First of the crop comes very early. The only suc- ice si 
cessful and profitable ‘‘Everbearing’’ Raspberry. Cumberland Raspberry 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries are being planted for commercial use more extensively now than 
heretofore. 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 yield is enormous. Large, 
jet black berries in large clusters and ripen well together; very sweet, melting, 
no hard core. 
SENSATIONAL BOYSENBERRY 
A distinct, new variety of vine berry produced by a cross between Loganberry, 
Raspberry 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 bearing the next year after planting and continue many 
years. Berries are extremely large, many measuring 2 inches long. 
THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY 
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 com- 
mercial fruit. pent AB

HOW TO PLANT STRAWBERRIES—Spring is the best time to set Straw- woes 
berries in this latitude. They will succeed in any good soil. Plow or spade land a 
deeply before planting. Use spade for planting, pushing it into full depth where oc 
plant will set. Press to one side, insert root and spread out fan shape and hanging we 
down full length. Remove spade and press dirt around roots by pressing with 
foot on each side of plant. Leave loose soil around plants. Set plants 18 inches 
apart in rows 3 to 3% feet apart. Train runners lengthwise, allowing new sets to 
root 5 or 6 inches apart. As soon as ground freezes cover lightly with hay or 
straw and remove just enough in the Spring to allow plants to come up. |. : : 
WHEN TO PLANT—We occasionally have inquiries for plants to be deliv- saan 
ered in August or September, just when the old plants are sending out runners, 
making new plants. It would not be to either your or our interest for us to sell 
you old plants. We recommend Spring planting but if you insist, we will make 
delivery in the Fall just as soon as new plants mature—not earlier than Oct. 15th. *)
