FRUITS — BERRIES — NUTS 
The fellow who has a little piece of land 
should grow his own fruit, berries and nuts. He 
who grows it eats more of it. With prices as 
high as fruits are now few can afford to eat all 
they should of this class of products. They are 
easily grown. We advise November and De- 
cember planting for best results and to insure 
getting the desired varieties in these times of 
scarcity. 
The food reserves of the world are sadly 
depleted. We will be called upon to divide our 
limited production with the rest of the world, 
once Peace again comes, 
Food will be scarce for years to come. 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 1945 
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 produces 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 Mar- 
shall, Oregon, Redhearts, Fairfax, Dorsett and 
Corvallis bear the second spring. Planted in 
fall of 1944 or spring of 1945 they wil pro- 
duce in 1946. The bulk of a garden planting 
should be these varieties with just enough ever- 
bearing varieties for out-of-season use, 
Strawberries are usually planted in rows 3 
to 3% feet apart and from 18 inches to 3 feet 
apart in the rows.

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 Prices 
2-year transplants (available November till 
March)—35 each; 8 for $1.00, 
1-year tip plants (available November till 
$1.50 dozen; $10.00 per 100. 
THORNLESS EVERGEEN 
BLACKBERRY 
The evergreen blackberry is one of the 
heaviest producers in the berry list. Its fruit 
is excellent for jelly, jam and many use it 
fresh and canned. Its great handicap in popu- 
larity has been its terrible thorns. We offer 
a thornless variety. The same heavy pro- 
ducer of same quality berries but without 
thorns. Plant a plant. One plant will produce 
enough for the average family. Transplants. 
50¢ each. 
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 
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, 25c each; $2.50 a dozen. 
1-year plants (tips, available spring only), 15¢ 
each; $1.50 dozen; $10.00 per 100. 
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, 
Munger is a good table and canning variety. 
2-year transplants—25e each; $2.50 dozen. 
Tips (spring only )—15c; $1.50 dozen. 
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 satify the 
demand, : 
Salesyard Prices 
35c¢ each; 3 for $1.00, 
larger than spring planted ~ 
Guarantee. We guarantee all stock to be 
true to name. We exercise the greatest care in 
delivering only first class, true to name stock 
and hold ourselves in readiness to replace any 
that may prove to be otherwise, upon proper 
proof. But at no time will we be held liable | 
for an amount greater than the original price, 
We make no guarantee to replace any stock 
that may fail to live, since we have no control 
over conditions after the plant leaves our 
hands. 
" THORNLESS BERRIES 
We offer thornless plants of Youngberry, 
{Boysenberry and“Loganberry in tip plants 
available only in spring, These have the same | 
berries and other characteristics as have the 
common thorny varieties but the canes are 
smooth and thornless. 1 yr. tips (spring on- 
ly) 35¢ each; 3 for $1.00. 
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 severa] 
varieties for home use. This often lengthens 
y the season.‘ Cuthbert is the old standard. It has { 
high quality and fair production. ¢ Newbourghy 
jand\ Taylor are newer varieties that produce 
immense fruits of good quality and bear very | 
y heavily. (Lloyd George is a fine berry, nearly | 
as large as the above two varieties and very 
productive. Where well watered it often pro- 
duces a good fall crop also.{ Latham is a stand¥ 
ard variety of good quality.{ St. Regis is an/ 
everbearing variety. It produces both spring 
and fall crops. A few of the latter are desir- 
able for out-of-season berries, 
Salesyard Prices 
2-year transplants—15c each; $1.50 dozen. 
Suckers—$1.00 dozen; $6.00 per 100. 
Williamette Raspberry is a new introduction 
of the U.S.D.A. from Corvallis. The berries 
are 60% larger than Cuthbert, being some- 
what larger than the large Newbrough. Good 
bearer. Fruit is dark red, firm and not crumbly, 
Cans equally well with Cuthbert. Good for 
table and freezing as well as canning. Stock 
of this new berry is limited this year. 
Willamette Raspberry Prices 
1-year plants—$1.50 dozen; $10.00 per 100. 
2 year transplants—$2.50 dozen. 
y 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) —Farly large 
blue. 
Worden—Mid-season, Large blue-black. One 
of best juice grapes. 
| FRUIT TREES 
Nearly all lines of fruit trees are in short 
supply again this year. Buy early to insure 
getting what you want. Trees planted from 
mid-November through January always do bet- 
ter than those planted late in the spring so the 
buyer gains two ways by ordering early. 
APPLE TREES

start bearing. Yellow Transparent, Yellow 
Delicious, Wagener and Jonathan come into 
bearing the earliest of the varieties. The fol-

Rhubarb, planted in rich soil produces fine 
crops with very little work, for many years. 
Strawberry, 15 each. 
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 jis 
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. 
To Our Mail-order Customers 
Due to war conditions our salesmen will not 
call on you this‘season. We hope that our old

freight, express or auto freight. 
Shipments start about November 15th and 
run into April.

TWO-YEAR FRUIT TREES 
Fruit trees have been scarce the past two 
years and are this year. The nurseries do not 
have enough help to grow their usual quanti- 
ties. Two-year branched trees are especially 
scarce through the trade due to the fact that 
most nurseries sold their yearlings out last 
spring. We are fortunate to have a fair supply 
of two-year apple, pear and plums, having held 
back part of our yearlings last spring. 
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 mountains con- 
ditions,

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. 

COMBINATION

rieties on a single tree. They make
