RASPBERRIES.
Any good corn ground is suitable for them, and they like it rich. Set plants in rows five feet apart, and three feet apart in row. If by mail add 10c per 10, 50c per hundred.
New Golden Queen.—The most popular and best yellow variety yet introduced. May be called a Golden Cuthbert, and it really exceeds the Cuthbert in size, and is the best in quality of all raspberries. Beautiful translucent amber color, firm and of delicious flavor. It is of very vigorous, strong growth, hardy, and in productiveness simply marvelous. Ripens in midsummer. Its beauty, size and fine quality make it almost indispensible [indispensable] for table use, and no home garden is complete without it. Per 10, $1.00; per 100, $4.50.
Cuthbert.—The best red raspberry in cultivation. Does well everywhere. Hardy, strong grower, loaded with large, dark crimson berries, firm and good flavor. Per 10, $1.00; per 100, $3.50.
Shaffer’s Colossal.—Hardy, vigorous, productive, and of delicious flavor. Per 10, $1.00: per 100, $5.00.
Gregg.—Popular late black variety. Per 10, 75c; per 100, $3.00.
Turner.—Hardy, early, of medium size and fine red color. Per 10, 75c; per 100, $2.50.
Souhegan, or Tyler.—Large, black, without bloom and of medium quality. Plant very hardy and a great bearer, ripens a little before Ohio. Per 10, $1 00; per 100, $3.00.
Older.—This new variety bids fair to become one of our leading berries; fruit large, black, firm; a strong grower. Per 10, $1.50.
Ohio.—The greatest producer among Black Caps, and for canning or evaporating claimed to be the most profitable of all sorts; berry not quite as large as Gregg, but of finer quality, and the plants more hardy and will bear more successive crops. Per 10, $1.00; per 100, $3.25.
STRAWBERRIES.
The first maturing, most beautiful, delicious wholesome and appetizing of fruits is the strawberry, and no matter how small the garden, you cannot afford to do without a small bed of them. Plant in March, April, May. September or October, in rows three feet apart and fifteen inches in the row for field culture, or fifteen inches apart each way for garden, leaving a path every third row. Those marked (p.) have imperfect flowers, and a few plants of some perfect flowering variety must be planted near them to fertilize them. Write for special prices by the thousand. If desired by mail add 25 cts. per 100 for postage.
Parker Earle.—Unapproachable in desirability for family use. An enormous yielder. See illustration and description on cover of catalogue. Per 10, $1.00; per 100, $5.50.
Bubach No. 5.—(p.)—Reports from all parts of the country join in pronouncing this a most wonderful berry in vigor of plant and yield of fruit, even under careless culture. During the past season it has fully sustained its reputation for large size and great yield. The fruit is, in many instances, enormous, and the average is large and handsome. It is exceedingly productive and very valuable for market or family use. Per 10, 50c; per 100, $1.75.
Jessie.—Is especially desirable on new timber soil, and grows to such an immense size that seven will fill an ordinary quart box. In our fields this has proved to be one of the best fertilizers for the imperfect flowered sorts. Per 10, 50c; per 100, $1.75
Bederwood.—A valuable early sort of quite recent introduction, but has proved a vigorous grower and very proproductive. Is a perfect flowered sort, and therefore desirable for small gardens. Quality excellent. Per 10, 75c; per 100, $2.25.
Warfield No. 2.—(p.)—Rapidly taking the lead for a market variety. A vigorous grower, tough and hardy, and astonishingly productive. It makes a great many runners, and is as free from rust as any variety. Fruit, large, dark, glossy red, and it holds its color and form long time after being picked. It has an agreeable, sprightly flavor, and ripens early. Per 10, 50c; per 100, $1.75.
Haverland.—Ripens early and continues to fruit throughout the season. Large, uniform. bright red. Per 10, 75c; 100. $2.25.
Pearl.—A profitable market sort with large, glossy, crimson berries. Excellent for private gardens. Per 10, 75 cts; 100, $2.25.
Lady Rusk.—Highly recommended in many parts of the country, but has not proved generally satisfactory in Iowa. Per 10, 75 cts; 100, $2.50.
Crescent Seedling.—(p.)—Has for years been the standard market sort. Per 10, 50c; 100, $1.25.
Michel’s Early.—The earliest good market variety—resembles Crescent, but ripens several days earlier and is much firmer. Planted largely and giving the best satisfaction as a market berry South, in the North reports are conflicting; seems to be doing well in some sections. Per 10, 75c; per 100, $2.25.
BUFFALO BERRY.
Shepherdia Argentea
A novelty from Wyoming. It is a tree-like shrub attaining a height of ten feet when well grown, of symmetrical, bushy habit, and would form a striking ornament on any lawn. The fruit resembles in size, form and color the cultivated red currant, but the bunches are more compact and the fruit remains on the bush all winter, and the freezing really improves the flavor. Excellent for pies, jellies and preserves, or dried. Very hardy and all should try it. Strong plants 40 cts. each, postpaid.
