For delicious fall berries, plant Gem! 

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries 
You get a crop the first year! 
Everbearing varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants 
are set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit in 
August and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following year 
they produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds, and also 
another crop in August and September. 
Note—It is essential to set out Everbearing kinds early in the spring, 
so do not delay ordering them as they must be set early. 
When the plants are first set out the flowers should be carefully picked 
off and none allowed to produce fruit until the plants have become well 
established which will be six to eight weeks. 
GEN. An Early Highly Productive New Everbearing. This new 
everbearing strawberry is an outstanding variety, and is far 
ahead of all other everbearing sorts. Our experience during the past 
few years has convinced us that it will outyield other kinds and the 
fruit harvested in the fall is of much better shape and more attractive. 
The berries are large in size, very uniform, bright sparkling red, and 
with a mild rich flavor. The berries are firm, stand shipping well, and 
sell for the highest prices in the market. The plants are hardy, disease 
resistant, and produce great crops of berries as well as being prolific 
plant producers. We urge you to try some of these fine berries this year. 
25 plants $1.10; 50 plants $2.00; 100 plants $3.50 transportation paid. 
Strawberry plants should be set out in the spring as early as the ground 
can be gotten in good condition. The land should be thoroughly worked 
and well manured if possible. The rows should be 34% feet apart and the 
plants 12 to 18 inches apart in the rows. 
To set the plants, make a wedge-shaped hole in the soil with a spade 
and place the strawberry plant in so that the roots spread out fanwise. 
The crown of the plant should be level with the surface of the ground. 
Firm the soil very tightly around the roots to be certain that there is no 
open space left under them. They should be firmly fixed in the soil and 
not easily pulled out. 
All fruit stems should be picked off before the plants are set and the 
plants should be cultivated and hoed clean all summer. The plants will 
produce runners and by early fall you should have a closely packed row 
18 to 20 inches wide. The following spring you will have a large crop of 
fine berries. 
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. 
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. 
Weight: Red varieties 20 lbs. per 100; Black and Purple varieties, 
35 lbs. per 100. 
We shall be glad to quote prices on larger quantities at any time. Please

TAYLOR, Red. One of the finest modern varieties. Developed 
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 grown for both home and market use. The 
berries are unusual in appearance being very large, long and some- 
what 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. $1.50; 25 for $2.50 transportation paid. 
Not paid: $5.50 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 estab- 

lished as a standard high quality midseason berry and is worthy of a _ 
place in every garden. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $1.50; 25 for $2.50 transportation paid. 
Not paid: $5.50 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. $1.50; 25 for $2.50 transportation paid. 
Not paid: $5.50 per 100. :

The Taylor Raspberries 
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 smaller 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. 
Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. $1.75; 25 for $3.00 transportation paid. 
Not paid: $7.00 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.
