Small Fruits 
Raspberries 
The Raspberry is one of the early garden 
fruits, and of the most easy culture. It may 
be found growing ina wild state most any- 
where along the edge of a grove or thicket, 
it produces bountifully under cultivation. 
And the fruit finds a raady sale in the mar- 
kets at nearly double the price of any other 
fresh berries. 
CUMBERLAND PLUM FARMER--After grow- 
ing and testing a large number of. Blackcap 
Raspberries during the past year, we find 
that this variety is far ahead of any in its 
class. The fruit is black and large, with a 
rich flavor, and the canes are exceptionally 
free from disease, and is a vigorous grower. 
The crop is all ripened within a few days, 
making ita valuable market sort. We are 
now growing only this variety of Blackcap.} 
Two-year transplants, bearing age. Price

LATHAM--After growing this variety, we 
‘find it to be the largest and finest red berry 
we have ever hadon our grounds. It orig- 
inated at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm, 
and is now recognized as the best of all the 
reds. It was first sent out as Minnesota No. 
4. It is of extraordinary large size, bright 
red color and excellent flavor, and the fruit- 
ing season lasts over Six weeks. While most 
of the red raspberries are inclined to winter- 
kill at times, this variety has proven ex- 
tremely hardy inthe far north. The large 
size, fine flavor and hardiness puts it ahead 
of any kind yet introduced. The canes are 
very Strong and sturdy and stand up well.

Blackberries 
Blackberries require about the same culture 
as Raspberries and follow them closely in 
time of ripening. This is a native fruit, and 
responsible readily to highculture. The grow- 
ing of this very delicious and healthful fruit 
is attended with so little trouble and expense 
that no garden should be without at leasta 
small planting.

north. Canes reddish brown, stocky, hardy,

pick these large berries, without a chance of 
scratching your hands. 
Price per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00 
Currants 
Many people are prevented from growing 
either gooseberries or Currants on account 
of the currant-worm that eats the foliage and 
prevents the fruit from maturing. These 
pests are the easiest controlled of any of the 
insects that feed on the foliage of plants and 
trees. The worms go into the chrysalis state 
‘un the ground under the bushes andthe eggs 
are laid on the leaves near the base on the 
inside of the bush.. The small worms com- 
-mence to feed as soon as the leaves are de- 
- 
veloped. During their early existence they 
are not ntoiced, but ina few days of warm 
weather they spread all over the bush and 
then seem to-eat up every leaf ina day. The 
remedy is to sprinkle the bush with water to 
which a little Paris-green has been added-- 
just enough to give it a sea-green color--as 
soon as the leaves are fully grown, and re- 
peat the dose in a week or ten days, to make, 
sure of the womrs.

Strawberries 
Strawberries will produce more fruit to the 
square rod and in less time than any other 
fruit we can grow. They grow wild in every 
section of the country from Alaska to Florida. 
It has always been a mystery to me why so 
many people do not raise this most refresh- 
ing and early fruit. A few square rods will 
produce all that one family can possibly use.

is proving to be the most valuable Strawberry 
yet introduced, and is now planted all over the

formed and highly flavored. Being a great

plants to set a row as other kinds.

size of Dunlap, of excellent quality and has a

about 60 days after planted, and will continue
