JUNE FRUITING 
\AMBROSIA—One of the largest berries. 
ever produced. Sparkling, bright red and 
deliciously sweet. Ripens after other vari- 
eties are gone, making an ideal late market 
variety. The fruit is borne on long stems 
held well off the ground. An exceptionally 
- fine berry and highly recommended. 
- FAIRFAX — Experi- 
enced Strawberry 
growers who have 
tested Fairfax have 
placed it at the very 
top of the list for 
quality. It is extra 
early having the 
same bearing season 
as Premier, but is a 
-~much heavier bear- 
er. The early blooms 
do not show serious 
frost damage, and 
the fruiting season 
extends over a long 
period. Flavor rich and sweet, bright red 
in color. Holds up well as a market variety 
and stands long-distance shipping. 
ROBINSON—A mid-season variety that 
originated in Michigan and is probably the 
most valuable and outstanding introduc- 
GRAPEVINES 
CONCORD—JUICE and WINE GRAPE 
Being the standard commercial blue Grape of the 
Northern States, Concord requires no description. The 
fruit is large, blue-black and of very fine quality. 
Ripens the middle of September in Michigan. Healthy, 
vigorous and very productive. A good table Grape, but 
grown primarily for juice and jellies. 
CATAWBA, Purplish red, bunch large, berries of 
medium size; rich vinous flavor, of best quality for 
table and wine. Late, ripens here the last of Septem- 
ber. The best keeper, lasting until March or later. 
FREDONIA. The best extra early black grape, ripens 
two weeks ahead of Worden. Vigorous, productive and 
extra hardy. Large bunch and berry. Fruit firm; long 
lasting qualities. , 
NIAGARA. The leading white Grape. Ranks with 
Concord in vigor and productiveness and ripens at 
the same time. Bunch and berry large and handsome. 
Tender, sweet, juicy and excellent flavor. 
PORTLAND. The earliest grape we have ever found. 
Large white grapes, very sweet and juicy. A strong 
grower and very hardy. 
WORDEN. Larger berries and bunches than Con- 
cord, sweeter, better quality and ripens a week earlier. 
Fine for the local market and the home garden, but 
not a good shipper on account of its thin skin.

RASPBERRIES 
<Four Best of All 
~\ 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. 
-\ 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. 
~s LATHAM (Red). Conceded to be the best main- 
crop 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 Canada 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 
grown. 
=. 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 and pies 
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 
growers ; vigorous and healthy. Enormously produc- 
tive, and is unexcelled in flavor either fresh, canned, 
or in-pies.
