BLACKBERRIES 
Like the raspberry, this plant produces fruit on 
branches developed the previous summer; and when 
fruiting is over, these bearing branches or ‘‘canes,”’ 
which have borne fruit, are pruned out. 
Young branches which appeared during the season 
may be tied to stakes to keep them off the ground; 
they will bear next year. Plant 3 feet apart in rows. 
2-yr. plants, 25 cts. each, $2.75 per doz.,

CHOICE BERRIED FRUIT 
e oS 
RASPBERRIES 
Succeed well on any good Jand but amply repay 
high cultivation. Red and yellow varieties shoul 
be planted in rows 6 feet apart and 3 feet apart in 
the rows; black- and purple-cap varieties 7 feet apart 
and 3 feet in the rows. Cut out all old wood as soon 
as the canes have done bearing—to give more vigor 
to young canes, produced during the current year; 
these you retain to yield fruit next season. 
All Raspberries, 2-yr. transplanted stock, 
25 cts. each, $2.75 per doz., $20 per 100 
Chief. (Red.) Midseason variety of heavy yield. 
Popular. 
Cumberland. (Black.) Heavy bearer of delicious 
berries. Midseason. 
Indian Summer. (Everbearing.) Fine red variety. 
Gives a full crop in June and another in the fall. 
Latham. (Red.) A full crop of high-quality 
berries in June and July. Large, firm and sweet. 
Logan. (Black.) A high producer of superior 
quality. Early. 
St. Regis, Everbearing. (Red.) Crimson berries 
from early until late. Delicious. 
Currants and Gooseberries 
Plant in rows 6 feet apart, and 4 feet apart In 
the rows, or, if to be cultivated both ways, 5 
feet apart each way. The soil should be well 
cultivated. After planting, cut back the tops 
one-half of the previous year’s growth. For the 
first four or five years some of the wood made 
in the spring should be cut back in the fall, in 
order to make a more symmetrical plant and a 
greater number of fruit-buds. General Garden 
Fertilizer forked in each fall around base of 
plant will prove very beneficial. 
CURRANTS 
2-yr. plants, 50 cts. each, $5.50 per doz. 
Fay’s Prolific. Vigorous, productive bushes. 
Large clusters of dark red, juicy berries. 
Pres. Wilder. Upright bush. Fine, large, bright

one Currants or Gooseberries outside New York 
ate.

STRAWBERRIES 
Rich soil, kept firm, and with a plentiful supply of 
moisture, is desirable. Select potted plants and 
space them at 9-inch intervals in rows 2 feet apart 
in spring or late summer. 
Keep the row well weeded at all times, and yonr 
hoeing must be very shallow, because all feeding 
roots are close to the surface. Whiten the soil 
around the plants with General Garden Fertilizer 
in November and May. Spread 1% inch of peat moss 
over both ground and plants in December, and brush 
it lightly off the leaves in April. 
Strawberry plants produce daughter plants 
around the parent, and as care of a bed develops into 
routine, it is usual to retain daughter plants at ap- 
proximately 9 inches apart; in early autumn, trans- 
plant unwanted plants into new rows and destroy 
the year-old parents. 
Runners connecting plants should be cut as soon 
as young ones are rooted. 
EARLY 
Blakemore. Extra-early variety with large fruit 
excellent for preserving. 
Dorsett. A very vigorous-growing variety. Early: 
Bright red, cone-shaped berries. 
Fairfax. Berry of exceptional firmness and high 
dessert quality. A prolific bearer. 
Premier. Produces an abundance of large, bright 
flame-colored berries. 
Potted Plants, $2.50 per doz., $4.50 for 25, 
$15 per 100 
MIDSEASON AND LATE 
Big Joe. Very productive; extremely large berries, 
and one of the best-flavored sorts. In size, firm- 
ness, yield, color, and quality, it leads. Midseason.

The above types produce one abundant crop of 
flowers, followed by fruit, in spring or early summer. 
The following types produce flowers rather spar- 
ingly all the year. By peoptae these pinched off in 
spring and summer until August 15, and so building 
up reserved strength in the plant, a fair crop of good 
fruit will be developed for the autumn.

from summer to late fall. 
Progressive. Produces fruit all season. Berries of 
medium size and full flavored.
