OUR PLANTS ARE BETTER ate 
Our raspberry plants this year, we believe, are the finest we ever. 
grew and both from the standpoint of freedom from virus and other 
diseaes and fine vigorous heavy rooted canes, we question very much 
if their equal is in existance anywhere else. In most of our varieties 
we could not find the slightest trace of virus or any other disease. 
This condition did not just happen. It took real effort on our part 
through the years. We doubt very much if anyone anywhere has put 
as much thought and effort into producing good raspberry plants as 
we have. We believe our smailer plants are worth more than the 
heavier grades of most growers. 
RASPBERRY PRICES 
All the red raspberries we offer are government certified stock, 
and prices quoted are for the amounts specified of each variety, especially 
in the smaller amounts. We do not mind giving 50 each of two kinds at 
100 rate, or even 3 or 4 kinds on occasion in an order for 1000 or more 
plants. When not quoted in small amounts, it does not pay us to 
bother with lesser amounts than quoted.. We have reduced prices this 
year which are as follows unless quoted otherwise. 
Heavy, 5 for $1.00; 10 for $1.75; 25 for $3.25; 100 for $9.00; 
1,000 for $80.00. é 
Medium Plants, 10 for $1.25; 25 for $2.25; 100 for $6.00; 1,000! 
for $50.00. 
MONROE 
is a Cuthbert x Newman cross from Geneva, which quite closely 
resembles Cuthbert in cane and fruit, except that the fruit ripens 
much earlier in season and no mosaic has shown up in our stock as yet. 
es believe this variety is at its best on lighter soil than where we ~ 
ave it. 
Heavy Plants—4 for $1.00; 10 for $2.25; 25 for $4.50. 
Medium Plants—6 for $1.00; 10 for $1.50; 25 for $3.00. 
OTTAWA 263 
We fruited this Ottawa variety first in 1943 in our test planting 
between Sunrise and Trent. One of our men noticed it first and told 
us we had better have a look at it. It was so early we were not 
expecting more than a few odd berries to be ripe and were amazed to 
find at least % of the crop ripe. There were some ripe berries on 
both Sunrise and Trent but neither compared with 0-263 in size, 
appearance, or early yield, though Sunrise apparently ripened a few 
berries earlier. 0-263 ripened its whole crop up quickly. We replanted 
most of it that fall and again fruited substantially more of it in 1945, the 
bad year,when our pickers called it the good early berry. This is as 
it has performed with us on a medium heavy loam soil and we thought 
we had the finest introduction in early raspberries in our time. 
However, Mr. Hunter, of C.E.F., who developed it, wrote us that 
others had reported it too small; too dark; and soft. We don’t know 
whether it produced smaller fruit in other places or whether others 
compared it with later maturing varieties such as Madawaska, Rideau, 
Viking, Newburgh, Marcy, etc. It does not compare in size with these 
and we would prefer to have it lighter in color and firmer but 
Madawaska is the only one of the larger berries with us that has ripened 
any substantial amount of its fruit in season with 0-263. Despite its 
faults, with us 0-263 gives us splendid pickings of berries of sufficiently 
good quality, size and appearance to sell very readily when we could 
not get them from any other variety we have yet fruited. 
“As stated when we first offered Ottawa 263 in@1946, we did so 
feeling that there must be others for whom it would be outstanding 
as it had been for us. We have since learned that it is very hardy 
and apparently is best on the stronger soils. It seems to be one of 
those varieties that is either the best of its season or not worth 
growing. 
Heavy—4 for $1.00; 10 for $2.25; 25 for $4.50. 
Medium Plants—6 for $1.00; 10 for $1.50; 25 for $3.00. 
GATINEAU 
was bred at Ottawa, from Newman and Lloyd-George. On our strong 
loam soils the plant growth is very good and the flavor of the berries 
excellent, but on lighter and poorer soils, growth is weak and flavor 
not so good. It is the earliest berry of really good size that does 
well on our heavier land, so though it is much darker and not so firm 
as we would like, we find it one of the most profitable and intend to 
plant it more extensively to follow Ottawa 263. 
MADAWASKA 
A grand berry everywhere. 
is a variety from Central Experimental Farm of very outstanding 
merit. It is nearly as early as the earliest; larger than any of its 
season; rather dark in color but glossy. It is an excellent canning: 
variety anywhere and we believe quite superior to anything that can 
be grown in northern districts. Cane growth is usually disappointing 
the first year, but has been quite satisfactory in our experience there- 
after. The cane is very hardy and tough, so that it seems to hold up 
the heavy crops. We think so highly of this berry that we have 
planted more of it than of any other variety.
