RED RASPBERRIES 
Early June 
The earliest red raspberry available. More- 
over the crop ripens over a long season. 
These characters have made June a profitable 
variety for market growers especially when 
grown for markets that pay a premium for 
earliness. Fruit is of medium size, roundish, 
bright attractive red. Canes are thornless 
and bear fruit out in the open. Plants are of 
medium height, vigorous, productive and 
quite hardy.

* September 
New Everbearing Red Raspberry 
Much superior to other “everbearing” rasp- 
berries, September is the newest and best au- 
tumn fruiting variety. Its fall crop ripens at 
least two and sometimes four weeks earlier 
than the fall crop of Indian Summer and thus 
far has shown no tendency to crumble. Its 
summer crop is as early as Indian Summer. 
Fruits are round, bright red, good sized, sweet 
and of fine flavor. Supply limited—order 
early.

ries — the first in late June, the second in Septem- 
ber and October.

“T planted your Wando peas on May 29th and on 
July 27th we picked a fine helping of nice peas, 
and you all know how dry the past months have

“Last Summer in one day I sold 92 doz. Seneca 
Chief Corn at 60 cents per doz. so you see it 
must be good. They buy it to the last nubbin 
believe it or not. It was dry last summer, mighty 
dry, yet it produced and it lasts two weeks on the 
stalk without getting too hard for sale.”
