At these high prices did i 
I your family h 
a us berries and fruits that they domed? 
aa es will be just as high next year and 
a several years, at least, to come. High 
a costs have made production costly; great 
ae ahi berries and fruits have been badly 
BANS for lack of help and much of this 
s age will never again be productive. No 
y Percial acreage has been planted the 
oe ew years to replace that which goes out 
foe’ each year. Many thousands who 
eee eer” foed producers are now in the 
other ~ ie work both in America and in 
he food reserves of the World are sadl 
eae We will be called upon to divide eur 
imited production with the rest of the world 
once Peace again comes. j 
Food will be scarce for years tocome. The 
fellow who grows his own berries and fruits 
and nuts will feed his family better than 
he who grows nothing. He will help beat the 
High Cost of Living during these present years 
and he will also be prepared for the next de- 
pression. 
STRAWBERRIES 
_ Many Victory Garden planters are primarily 
interested in quick results. Berries get into 
production the most quickly of all nursery 
plants. Everbearing strawberries that are 
planted this winter or in the spring of 1944 
will start producing fruit in August of the 
same year, provided they are well watered. 
Rockhill is the best of the everbearers. Its fruit 
is of high quality. Bears well. It producers no 
runners so cost of propagation of the plants is 
high and the nurseryman must get a good price 
for them. Gem and Mastodon, also everbear- 
ing varieties, make runners and are more 
cheaply produced. However, their quality is 
not as high as that of Rockhill. 
The main crop strawberries, such as Marshall, 
Oregon, Redhearts, Fairfax, Dorsett and Cor- 
vallis bear the second spring. Planted in fall 
of 1943 or spring of 1944 they will produce in 
1945. The bulk of a garden planting should be 
these varieties with just enough everbearing 
varieties for out-of-season use. 
Strawberries are usually planted in rows 3 
to 3% feet apart and from 18 inches to 8 feet 
apart in the rows. 
Salesyard Prices 
Marshall, Oregon, Redheart, Corvallis, Dor- 
sett, Fairfax—385c doz.; $1.75 per 100; $11.00

10% of amount of order for amounts over 
$2.50. Thousand lots go by freight, or express 
an* huy7r po~s *he t-anscortation costs.) 
Shipping Yime. Ail other berries and fruits 
+... are best planted in Fall and early Winter but 
Strawberry plants usually are best shipped in 
February and March. November planted plants 
do well but we cannot promise to make deliv- 
ery before heavy rains set in. 
RASPBERRIES 
Red Raspberries bear nothing the first sum- 
mer; a part crop the second summer and a full 
crop thereafter. Commercially they. are spaced 
four feet by eight but in intensively cultivated 
home plantings they are often planted two feet 
apart in the rows. We advise planting several 
varieties for home use. This often lengthens 
the season. Cuthbert is the old standard. It 
has high quality and fair production. New- 
bourgh and Taylor are newer varieties that 
produce immense fruits of good quality and 
bear very heavily. Lloyd George is a fine berry, 
nearly as large as the above two varieties and 
very productive. Where well watered it often 
produces a good fall crop also. Latham is a 
standard variety of good quelity. St. Regis is 
an everbearving variety. Jt produces both spring 
and fall crops. A few of the latter are desir- 
able for out-of-season berries. 
We will not have any of the fine new Wil- 
lamette Raspberry to offer until the fall of 
1944, We are using all our present production 
of plants to increase our Mother planting. 
Salesyard Prices 
2-year transplants—15e each; $1.50 dozen. 
Suckers—$1.00 dozen; $6.00 per 100. 
(For mailing costs see foot note under 
Strawberries. ) 
BLACKCAP RASPBERRIES 
Blackeaps are usually planted about 5 or 6 
feet apart. Each plant is tied to a stake. They 
produce more heavily per plant than do Red 
Raspberries. 5 : 
Munger is a good table and canning variety. 
2-year transplants—25c each; $2.50 dozen, 
Tips (spring only)—15c; $1.50 dozen. 
BOYSENBERRIES 
YOUNGBERRIES 
LOGANBERRIES 
These varieties are handled alike. Commer- 
cially they are planted 8 ft. by 8 ft. and are 
trained on a trellis. In home gardens they are 
often planted 6 feet apart. Every garden 
should contain all three of these varieties. 
They start fruiting the second summer. Trans- 
plants are available about November 15th 
while tips are not ready until spring. As with 
most other fruits and berries fall planting is 
preferable. Such plants will have all winter to 
become established and one will lose fewer 
November and December planted plants and 
they will grow larger than spring planted stock. 
Youngberries and Boysenberries are quite 
similar but by planting both one will have fruit 
through a considerably longer season. 
Salesyard Prices 
2-year transplants—20c each; $2.00 dozen; 
.00 per 100. 
2 os (Spring only )—$1.00 dozen; $8.00 per 
100.

CASCADE AND PACIFIC 
BLACKBERRIES 
These are newly created varieties, being 
crosses between the Loganberry and the splen- 
did small wild blackberry that is native to the 
Northwest. They have much of the quality of 
the Blackberry and have small seeds and are 
black. They have the large size and productive- 
ness of the Loganberry, being even more pro- 
ductive. They are the finest pie berries grown. 
They are grown just like Boysenberry. They 
fruit the second summer after planting. 
_ The supply of these new berries is very 
limited. 
Salesyard Price 
Transplants—85 each; 8 for $1.00. 
(For mailing costs see footnote under Straw- 
berries. ) 
Tips (available in spring only), $1.50 doz.; 
$10.00 per 100. 
GOOSEBERRIES — CURRANTS 
These are set 4 to 6 feet apart in the row. If 
Fall planted they may have a few fruits the 
first summer but generally their production 
starts the second summer. Every garden should 
contain at least half dozen each of these varie- 
ties. Currants are a very good commercial 
proposition, Wineries are bidding for this fruit 
and there is not enough grown to satisfy the 
demand. 
Salesyard Prices 
2-year plants—25c each; $2.50 dozen; 
$15.00 per 100. 
Send for prices on larger lots. 
GRAPES 
Grapes are planted 6 to 8 feet apart and are 
best trained on trellis so that they can be 
properly pruned. Not much is expected from 
Grapes until the third summer but they bear 
bountifully once they start bearing. Plant a 
number of varieties to obtain fruit through a 
long season. 
We offer the following Grape varieties: 
Campbell Early (Island Belle)—Early large 
blue, 
Worden—Mid-season. Large blue-black. One~ 
of best juice grapes. 
Concord—Follows Worden in ripening, Blue. 
Niagara—Green or white variety. 
Golden Muscat—A fine sweet, California 
type grape that succeeds here. (50c each.) 
McPike—Blue, very large fruits. Second 
early. 
Salem—Good size clusters of pink fruit. 
Caco—A large red grape. 
“J. J. Hubbard—Blue. 
Urbana—Dark pink. 
Fredonia—Blue. Fine quality. 
Salesyard Prices 
(Except for Golden Muscat) 
2-year——35c each; 3 for $1.00; $3.00 dozen. | 
(For parcel post shipments where we prepay 
transportation add 25¢ for any order under 
$2.50 and 10% of amount of order for orders 
over $2.50. Shipment by freight or express at 
buyer’s expense. ) 
ASPARAGUS 
Asparagus is planted 18 inches apart in the 
rows for home gardens. The richer the soil 
the better. Twenty-five plants is none too 
many for‘a family. Should not be cut until 
second summer and then not heavily. A good | 
bed lasts for many years if kept enriched. 
Price—50c dozen; $2.50 per 100; $15.00 | 
per 1000 for 2-year plants. 
RHUBARB 
Rhubarb, planted in rich soil produces fine 
crops with very little work, for many years. 
Strawberry Rhubarb—15c each; $1.75 per 
dozen. 
FRUIT TREES 
Fruit trees are generally sold as one and 
two-year trees. Such trees start bearing in 
from three years upwards, depending upon 
variety. We offer “bearing-age’”’ apple, pear 
and plum trees. The assortment of such varie- 
ties is very limited this year due to the heavy 
demand for trees last season. Fruit trees are 
generally planted from 20 to 35 feet apart 
depending upon variety. Best results are from 
November and December planting but they can 
also be planted in Spring, \ 
series will have much assortment left this com- 
ing Spring, due to very short production, 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Our salesyard is open from mid-October un- 
til the end of May. Evergreen shrubs, which 
are dug with a dirt ball, can be safely planted 
all through the season that we keep our yard 
open. Deciduous trees and shrubs, that are dug 
bare-rooted, can be safely planted only during 
the season when the leaves are off, which is 
usually from early November until sometime 
in April. Included in this class are fruit and 
nut trees, shade trees, berry bushes, rose 
bushes and most flowering shrubs. Generally 
speaking, trees and shrubs that are planted 
before Christmas will do better than those 
planted in the Spring. The later the planting 
the poorer the results unless one has plenty of 
water available. 
although few nur- 
APPLE TREES

lasts. For older trees see ‘“‘Bearing Age Trees.” 


Salesyard Prices 
One-year whips—4 to 6 feet tall, $1.00 
each; 90c in 10 lots. 
2-year branched trees—$1.50 each. 
(We can pack about 10 two-year fruit trees 
into a parcel post parcel of a size that will be 
accepted at the post office, by pruning the trees 
back, If wanted unpruned specify express ship- 
ment.) 
Combination Cherry Trees 
For backyard plantings we offer cherry 
trees with three varieties grafted on a 
single tree. Royal Anne, Bing and Lam- 
bert varieties do not pollenize themselves 
nor each other and require the presence 
of certain other pollenizer varieties be- 
fore they will set fruit in quantity. In 
our combination trees we grow Royal 
Anne and Lambert and Hoskins. The 
latter is the pollenizer. Its fruit re- 
sembles that of Bing. One has fruit 
through a longer season with this com- 
bination. We also offer some trees with 
two varieties to the tree. These com- 
binations are Lambert-Royal Anne; Lam- 
bert-Hoskins and Royal Anne-Hoskins. 
Saleyard Price 
3-variety tree—$2.50 each. 
2 variety tree—$2.00 each. 
(In order to ship these trees parcel 
post it is necessary to select the shorter, 
smaller trees for parcel post orders. If 
one wishes the larger, taller trees (price 
the same) they should go by express or 
freight. For parcel post shipment add 
50c per tree. Express or freight trans- 
portation costs are paid by buyer when 
trees are delivered by transportation 
agent. ) 

CHERRY TREES 
Sour cherries bear very young, often having 
fruits the second summer. Sweet cherries re- 
quire more time. We offer the following varie- 
ties. 
Bing—Black sweet cherry. 
Lambert—Dark. Ripens after Bing. 
Royal Anne—Yellow with red cheek. 
Hoskins—Similar to Bing. A fine pollenizer 
| for Royal Anne, Lambert and Bing. 
Montmorency—Best pie cherry. 
Kentish—Pie cherry, a little earlier to ripen 
| than Montmorency, 
May Duke—An early half-sour variety. 
Late Duke—Half-sour pie cherry. 
We offer the above in year-old trees. We 
' have a limited supply of Roal Anne, Lambert, 
| Hoskins and Montmorency in two-year trees. 

Salesyard Prices 
One-year, 3 to 4 ft. whips—75c each. 
One-year, 4 to 6 ft. whips—$1.00 each. 
Two-year trees, $1.50 each. 
(For parcel post shipment add 25c for order 
under $2.50. On orders over $2.50 add 10% 
of total of order for prepayment. Express or 
| freight charges are paid by buyer.) 
PEACH TREES 
Peach trees start bearing the third or fourth 
year. Every planting should have several varie- 
ties so selected that they will ripen fruit in 
succession. 
Varieties in approximate order of ripening. 
Mayflower—White fiesh. Very early. 
Triumph—First yellow fleshed variety. Pro- 
lific.

riety but too subject to leaf curl for the ama- 
| teur. 
J. H. Hale—Yellow. Canner. 
Veteran—A fine new variety highly recom- 
mended by Washington Experiment Station 
| for western Washington conditions. 
| Southhaven—A fine yellow meated free-

Nursery Stock Shortage 
Most nursery stocks are in very short supply. 
This applies especially to berry plants and fruit 
trees. The nurseries cannot compete with war 
industries for labor and are running very 
short-handed. Many have been forced out of 
business. Many items will be sold out very 
early. Whether you buy from us or from others 
our advice is to order early to avoid disap- 
pointment, 
APRICOTS 
_ Apricots are less dependable than peaches 
in west of the Cascades sections but still are 
worth while as family orchard trees. 
Tilton—A large fruiting commercial variety. 
Perfection—A new variety claimed to be 
especially suited to west of the mountain con- 
ditions. 
Prices 


same as peaches. 
PEARS 
Pears belong in all home plantings. Easy to 
grow. 
*Bartlett—The leading canning variety. 
you have but one pear use this variety. 
“Bosc—A fine eating and cooking variety 
that ripens after Bartlett is gone. 
*Anjou—A winter pear of highest quality. 
*Winter Nelis—Small Winter pear. A good 
keeper. 
Prices—Same as apples. 
*Both one and two-year trees available. 
FILBERTS 
Besides being one of the most profitable 
commercial orchard propositions, filberts are 
an ideal home orchard tree. Every home plant- 
ing should include three or more of these trees. 
Barcelona is the leading commercial variety. 
It is necessary to plant pollenizing varieties 
along with Barcelona to insure a crop. We 
cannot sell pollenizing varieties except where 
we supply the Barcelonas since our supply is 
very short. As pollenizers we use DuChilly, 
White Aveline, Sicily and Daviana.

We can supply most of these varieties in 
two-year branched trees and many_of them as 
yearling trees, 


Dwarf Fruit Trees 
Dwarf trees are ideal for the backyard 
gardener who is limited for room. These 
trees bear well and full size fruits and 
bear young but do not grow to be the 
large trees like standard trees. 
We can supply Bartlett and Seckle pear 
and Rome, Yellow Delicious and Red De- 
licious in three-year old dwarf trees. 
Price—$2.50 each. 
Bearing Age Fruit Trees 
We have a limited supply of older 
apple and pear trees, four or five years 
old. Many of these trees have borne fruit 
in the nursery rows. There is a little 
more risk of losing these older trees than 
where one uses the usual one and two- 
year old stock but if well watered the 
first summer they generally live. The 
time saved in getting fruit is worth the 
added risk with these older trees. We 
can supply Gravenstein, Red and Yellow 
Delicious, Yellow Transparent, McIntosh, 
King and a few other varieties of apple 
and Bartlett pear. 
These trees are too large for mailing. 
They can be shipped express or freight. 
Buyer pays the transportation charges. 
Price—$2.50 to $3.50, depending upon 
size of tree. 
Espalier Fruit Trees 
These trees are used to train on build- 
fences, ete. They are grafted on 
dwarf roots. They bear young. These 
espaliers vary from three to six years of 
age when sold. The price varies from 
$4.00 to $10.00 each depending upon 
size and age of the individual specimen. 
We carry a small stock of these trees and 
can obtain many others upon order. 
ines, 
SHRUBS 
We carry a very complete stock of Rhodo- 
dendrons, Magnolias, Camellias, Daphnes and 
a full line of other Evergreen and Flowering 
shrubs and trees as well as a fine line of Salem- 
grown Rose bushes. You are invited to call at 
our salesyard to look these over.
