THE BOUGHEN NURSERIES 11 
HARDY APRICOTS 
SCOUT— Originated at Morden Experimental Station; yielding well every 
year there. Inch and half size, bronzy yellow fruits, freestone. Pleasing 
as dessert or cooked. 
ANDA-—has fruited here. No flavor till cooked; O.K. then. 
SINO—Nice trees. All are on Apricot Roots. 
LENINGRAD—Received as scions from Leningrad 5 years ago. Only one 
that took. Know nothing of it, except it is hardy. Nice trees, $1.25, 
any variety. 
MANCHURIAN SEEDLINGS—Not grafted. 4 to 5 feet. 75c each. 
One of these bore fruit, which was pretty tasteless raw. Made extra 
strong Apricot flavored preserves. I intend to propagate that one and call it 
Sifton, and will have, I hope, some 1-year grafts in fall of 1943 on Man- 
churian Apricot roots. All sold out. 
In proofreading this catalog we notice we have not stressed our 
advice to get proper crosspollination of plums and apple varieties. The 
plums derived from the natives on pages 7 and 8 require more than one 
variety of a type to make it possible to set fruit and the more varieties you 
have the better your chances of having a heavy crop of fruit. 
This applies to Apples, Crabs and Plums, Hybrids, Cherries and Apricots. 
This is very important to your success. Do not fail to get several varieties 
of each class. 
RASPBERRIES 
STARLIGHT—Best and earliest for north. $7.50 per 100; $4.00 for 50, 
$2.00 for 25. They Pay; They Pay; They Pay always, every year. 
Note—At Nipawin, Sask, over 500 miles northwest of Winnipeg, m 
son finds Starlight the best raspberry. 114 acres in 1943 yielded $1007.70. 
CHIEF—This is our main berry here. Its crop averages $300.00 per acre 
per year. It is very sweet and yields well. Hardy at Nipawin too. 
$6.00 per 100. . 
LATHAM—Last of the season, very large and beautiful berry; fine to end 
up the raspberry season. Not quite as hardy as the Starlight and Chief, 
but I would not want to be without Latham as it puts a grand finish on 
the berry season. $1 per dozen; ee per 100. Nota success in 1943 here, 
but usually is O.K. 
RUDDY—A new one from North Dakota, crossed with purple raspberry, 
and suckers very little. Great yielder, fine flavor cooked, but crumbles. 
Not swift picking. $1 dozen; $7 per 100. 1943 did not seem hardy enough.
