Lucretia Dewberry 
DEWBERRY 
a 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money.’ 8tOwn. 
They ripen a week or ten days ahead of com- 
mon blackberries, the bulk of the crop being 
harvested before other blackberries start to ripen. 
~The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, 
and the Lucretia is the best of them all. The 
large berries are incomparably better than any 
blackberry grown; of unequaled excellence ; 
sweet and luscious throughout, and of right 
- glossy black color. They are very productive, 
and one of the most profitable of all fruit crops. 
‘The Lucretia. has received the highest endorse- 
ment and praise from the best horticulturists in 
the country. Its trailing habit renders it less 
liable to winterkill. Lucretia may be propa- 
gated from the tips, like black raspberries. It 
does not spread or sucker, Hardy in Zone 3.

BOYSENBERRY 
The Boysenberry is the most remarkable berry 
introduced in many years. It is the one berry 
that is proving its worth in all parts of the 
United States for both the home garden and the 
commercial planter. They command high prices 
on the fresh fruit markets, and are equally as 
popular in the fancy food class of canned fruits 
and preserves. 
The Boysenberry is just as easily grown as 
Blackberries or Dewberries, and is much more 
productive. The fruit is larger and of better 
quality. Many of the rich, luscious wine-colored 
berries measure 2 to 21% ‘inches in length. Re- 
ports have been received of yields of nearly 
double that of Blackberries on the same farm. 
Boysenberry is no longer an experiment. It 
is a proven money-maker. Last year we were 
unable to fill all our orders because of plant 
shortage. Order early and get a planting started. 
If you have only a home garden, don’t miss this 
delicious new berry. If you grow berries for 
profit, Boysenberry will outyield and out-sell 
anything you have ever planted. Hardy in Zone 
4. See prices at bottom of page. 
RASPBERRIES 
CUMBERLAND (Black). The largest and most pro- 
ductive black raspberry. Ripens medium-early and 
continues throughout the raspberry season. Very 

hardy, and the most profitable market sort. Hardy 
in Zone 3. See prices below. 
INDIAN SUMMER (Everbearing Red). Decidedly 
superior to any other everbearing Red Raspberry. 
The berries are exceptionally large, dark red and of 
unsurpassed quality. Plants produce a heavy sum- 
mer crop that ripens with the standard varieties of 
Red Raspberries. The autumn crop starts in early 
September and continues until severe frost. Plants 
very hardy, vigorous, of medium height and bear 
heavy crops. An exceptionally fine berry and a 
money-maker. Hardy in Zone 3. See prices below. 
LATHAM (Red). Conceded to be the best main- 
erop red raspberry. It has more points of merit and 
has come into general planting more rapidly than any 
other raspberry ever introduced. It is vigorous in 
growth; withstands the winters of Canhda without 
covering; and exceptionally free from mosaic and 
other diseases. The large berries, some running over 
an inch in diameter, and the deep red color make it 
most attractive, and it is the most productive variety

» SODUS (Purple). This is one of the finest berries 
ever offered. It is a cross between a black raspberry 
and red raspberry, and possesses all the qualities of 
each. The berries are of large size; purple in color; 
seeds small and deeply imbedded in a rich, juicy pulp. 
They do not crumble when picked, are good shippers 
and good keepers, and are better for canning than 
either red or black raspberries. The habit of growth 
is like that of the black raspberry, so does not sucker 
or spread from the root. The canes are model grow- 
ers; vigorous and healthy. Enormously productive, 
and is unexcelled in flavor either fresh, canned, or 
in pies. Hardy in Zone 3. See prices below.
