WELCH’S DISEASE-RESISTANT 
Raspberries 
Raspberry bushes produce a lot of 
delicious, valuable fruit considering 
how little space they take and how 
easy they are to grow. You can tuck 
them along the fence or in a corner 
and they will thrive as well as if 
they had the most important part of 
your yard. And do you remember 
how high-priced raspberries were at 
the store? Just a little patch will 
keep a family in fresh berries: they 
freeze so well, too.

WELCH’S EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
“\B4124—STREAMLINER. This is one of the better of 
the new everbearers. Has berries of good size, well 
colored, fragrant, and with a flavor sweet as honey 
and fresh as a June day. Streamliner bears well from 
late June until frost. Is self pollinizing, so can be 
planted alone. Will bear some berries the year 
planted, but it is best not to let these develop the 
first year. Dr. Denison of the Iowa State College at 
Ames got tremendous yields from this variety the 
second year by cutting off the runners. This is a 
western berry but seems to adapt itself to most sec- 
tions of the country. 25 for 2.10; 50 for 3.65; 100 
for 5.98; 200 for 10.79; 500 for 24.98, postpaid. 
1,000 for 44.98, express not prepaid. 
\B4113—NEW GEM. One of the most popular ever- 
bearers and a reliable sort that can be counted on for 
28 a good crop in the late spring and another good 
square foot of ground than \ B4119—GIANT MASTODON. 
~B4104—BLAKEMORE. 
crop in the fall, plus considerable bearing through- 
out the summer if the weather is not too hot. Grows 
under almost any condition. Berries are large, firm, 
bright red, and of fine quality. Especially fine for 
canning and preserves as the berries hold their color 
and shape well. Plants grow well even where the 
summers are hot and dry. 25 for 1.30; 50 for 2.19; 
100 for 3.98; 200 for 7.49; 500 for 17.25; postpaid. 
1,000 for 32.75, express not prepaid. 
Still one of our best 
sellers even though it was one of the first everbearers 
introduced. Berries are of giant size, often two inches 
in diameter, and still very sweet and juicy. Will 
bear lightly 90 days from planting. There have been 
a lot of new everbearers put on the market, but 
Mastodon remains popular because it produces. 25 
for 1.39; 50 for 2.35; 100 for 4.25; 200 for 7.65; 
500 for 17.98, postpaid. 1,000 for 33.98, express 
not prepaid. 
B4122—RED RICH (Plant Patent No. 993). An out- 
standing, new Minnesota variety. A cross between 
Wayzata everbearer and Fairfax Junebearer made by 
Marion Hagerstrom. This was a chance seedling, one 
in a million, that hit square, retaining all the good 
qualities of both parents. This berry is receiving 
nation-wide acclaim as the finest everbearing straw- 
berry ever put on the market. The berries are very 
large, rich, glossy crimson color all the way through, 
and of exceptionally fine flavor and quality. They 
are homey-sweet because they carry lots of natural 
sugar. They are unsurpassed for freezing as they do ~\B4123—ROBINSON. 
not mush when thawed. The plants are large and 
strong growing, and seem to adapt themselves to 
almost every section of the country. This variety 
bears heavily in the spring, and starts right in again 
in a few weeks later and continues bearing until 
freezing weather. 10 for 2.98; 25 for 5.00; 50 for 
8.49; 100 for 14.98; 200 for 26.00; 500 for 55.50; 
1,000 for 97.50, all postpaid. 
WELCH’S JUNE-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 
June-Bearers belong in your garden in any event, 
but if you have a freeze box, they are ideal. You 
can gather your whole crop in 3 or 4 weeks, freeze 
them up, and then have them available whenever 
you want fresh strawberries. 
One of the most widely 
planted June-bearérs. There are great commer- 
cial plantings of this variety all over the U. S., 
particularly toward the southern states, because it 
stands drouth so well. Uniform ripening, and a 
firm, attractive, highly colored berry of high qual- 
ity. Ideal for shipping. Plants are good growers. 
A very heavy bearing, early fruiting, dependable 
variety. Ripens a few days before Dunlap. 25 for 
79c; 50 for 1.35; 100 for 2.20; 200 for 3.98; 500 for 
8.65, postpaid. 1,000 for 16.75, express not prepaid. 
B4101—NEW NARMORE. A brand new June-bearer 
that should be well adapted to Midwestern condi- 
tions as it was developed by Dr. Swartwout at the 
University of Missouri Department of Agriculture. A 
cross between Blakemore and Aroma, and the re- 
ports are that it outyields both. It is very disease 
resistant and a heavy bearer of very high quality 
fruit. We predict it will become very popular, par- 
ticularly in the midwest. 25 for 1.59; 50 for 2.85; 
100 for 5.19; 200 for 9.98; 500 for 20.65, postpaid. 
\ 1,000 for 37.98, express not prepaid. 
4126—SI0UX. A vigorous, heavy bearing new va- 
nety originated at the Cheyenne Horticultural Field 
Station, and given a very thorough testing at the 
North Platte, Nebr. Station. Created especially for 
Wyoming, the Dakotas, Montana, Western Nebraska, 
Northern Colorado, and other sections with rough 
climate where ordinary strawberries will not live. 
However, it seems to do equally well in the rest of 
the Midwest although it is somewhat susceptible to 
leaf spot in very wet summers. We notice that most 
of the plants produce 4 or 5 fruit clusters per plant, 
with an unusual number of sweet, good quality 
berries on each cluster. Fruit is large, bright red, 
sweet, and tasty. 25 for 1.59; 50 for 2.85; 100 for 
5.19; 200 for 9.98; 500 for 20.65, postpaid. No 1,000 
rate on this berry this year; too scarce. 
We consider this the best June- 
bearer, and it is tapidly displacing Blakemore, Dun- 
lap and many of the old varieties all over the coun- 
try. It is a strong growing plant with rich, deep 
green foliage. On the average, bears probably the 
largest berries of all the well known June-bearers. 
The flavor is delicious, the yield is very heavy. 
Ripens right after Dunlap and thus prolongs the 
berry season. The tremendous increase in planting 
that Robinson has had recently is not due to any 
ballyhoo but solely to the very high quality of the 
berry and the plant. You can’t gO wrong on this 
one. 25 for 98c; 50 for 1.49; 100 for 2.65; 200 for 
4.98; 500 for 11.75; postpaid. 1,000 for 21.00, ex- 
Press not prepaid./ 
B4107—SENATOR\DUNLAP, The most widely planted 
popular June-bearer. Although Originated in Urbana, 
Illinois, about 1890, Senator Dunlap is still going 
strong, which speaks well of its quality and vigor. 
The berries aren’t as large as some of the new 
varieties, but they have a good bright red color, are 
borne in profusion, and are of good quality. Par- 
ticularly good for dry areas as they root deeply; can 
withstand drouth better than many varieties. 25 for 
89c; 50 for 1.39; 100 for 2.49; 200 for 4.79; 500 for 
10.89, postpaid. 1,000 for 19.75, express not prepaid.
