fresh use as red or black raspberries, 
but’ finest of all for canning. It is 
distinetly the farmer’s variety for home 
use as it will produce abundantly with 
very little care. It is more productive 
than either red or black raspberries. 
10 plants, (tips) $1.00; 25, $2.00; 100, 
$7.50; 1000, $60.00. 
SODUS—With us, Sodus is a better and 
more vigorous grower than Columbian; 
and more productive of larger berries, 
but is not as fine flavored as Colum- 
bian. It also picks more easily. It 
probably is more profitable for market 
than Columbian. The color is against 
both varieties for market and people 
have to be educated to know them, but 
once they know, the demand is enor- 
mous for this class of berries. Price, 
same as Columbian. 
MARION—The Marion is a new seedling 
raised by the N. Y. Agl. Exp. Sta., of 
the Columbian type. It is more vigor- 
ous and productive of larger berries 
than either the Columbian or Sodus. 
It is the very largest raspberry that 
we have ever grown. Price, 10 plants, 
$1.50; 25, $38.00; 100, $10.00. 
BLACKBERRIES 
ELDORADO—This is the most popular 
of all real long blackberries. The 
canes are rather drooping, hardy in 
most sections, very vigorous and _ pro- 
ductive. The berries are large, ob- 
long, rather than roundish and _ the 
sweetest and most highly flavored 
blackberry we have ever eaten. 
We have a fine stock of plants. Price 
10, $1.00; 25, $2.00; 100, $7.50; 1000, 
HE USED HOTKAPS 
W. K. Bentley, at- 
torney, Pulaski, set 
200 of our trans- 
strawberry- - 
plants in the hottest, 
dryest weather of the 
early summer of 1943. 
He covered them for 
a few days with Hot- 
kaps and saved every 
plant. They made a 
wonderful growth.

ELDERBERRIES 
ADAMS’ IMPROVED ELDERBERRY— 
Hlderberries are easily grown. ‘Will 
succeed most anywhere and ere orna-

two in some corner in your backyard,

family. Many people like them for 
sauce and pies and nothing we know 
of, makes better wine. Mr. Adams 
perfected the elderberry until his im- 
proved strain produces several times 
the crop of the old wild elderberry, 
and the individual berries are fully 
four times the size of wild elder- 
berries. The individual plant branch
