ST. REGIS RANERE EVERBEARING St. Regis Everbearing or Ranere St Regis' particular merit lies in its adapta- bility to a great range of soils. Introduced by us about twenty-five years ago. Growers from coast to coast now proclaim it the greatest ever- bearing varietv introduced in the last quarter of a century. 'The quality of the berries is ex- ceptional, though their size is not so large as that of a few other sorts. The plant produces fruit in abundance from very early in the season until freezing weather. Unhke most varieties, it yields a moderate crop the first season, if planted early m the Spring or the preceding Fall. Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $35.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50; 1,000, $60.00. Heavy fruitmg plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. CATHERINE (Everbearing)~Recently intro- duced. One of the best Red Everbearing Rasp- berries that we have ever grown. Like its pa- rent (the St. Regis) it is a persistent producer from early Spring to late Fall. Berries very large and of firm quality. Sel. Sucker Plants, doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. CHIEF—The Chief Raspberry was intro- duced bv the State Fruit Breeding Farm of Minnesota. The canes are very hardy and can be grown successfully in cold climate without winter protection. Chief is Mosaic proof so far as we know and will not take on mildew. The fruit is of very fine flavor and very firm. An official check shows Chief yielded nearly fifty cases of fruit more per acre than Latham. Sel. Sucker Plants, doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. COLUMBIAN—Bears large, rather soft pur- ple berries; of rich, sprightly flavor; unrivalled for canning. Mid-season until late. Heavy tip plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. Cuthbert ("Queen of the Market")—This variety, introduced by us in 1878, was for twenty-five years the most widely planted rasp- berry. Succeeding in the North and South alike, it is still the leading market variety of this country. Large, bright red and prolific, with a sweet, luscious flavor. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $35.00. Wonderful heavy fruiting age plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. DONBORO—Ripening about a week before Cuthbert, one of the earliest varieties of good quality. The plants are ex- ceptionally heavy producers. Selected Sucker plants, doz, $1.50; 100, $8.00. GOLDEN QUEEN—This beautiful, large gol- den berry, introduced by us in 1885, is univer- sally recognized as the leader amon^ yellow fruited raspberries. A distinctive sort, adapt- able, productive, and eminently desirable. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. JUNE—Canes erect and very vigorous, attrac- tive color, and spineless. Ripens last of June and is a heavy yielder. Fruit good quality, very large and firm. Color light red. Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. KING—This old favorite has stood the test of time because of its scarlet beauty, huge size, early ripening period, and excellent shipping qualities. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. LATHAM—A recently introduced variety, very hardy and productive, with large, round, firm berries of a rich, brilliant red in late June and well into July. Heavy sucker plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. Extra strong transplanted plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. VIKING—The hardiest of all raspberries, and the least likely to winterkill. Bears large, bright red berries of good substance and excellent quality, on tall, heavy canes, nearly spineless. Selected sucker plants, doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. Heavy transplanted plants, doz., $3.00; 100, $i5. WHITE QUEEN (Everbearing) We are now in a position to meet the great demand for this beautiful white variety. T^e large berries, of superb quality, are particularly alluring when served with a red sort, and they are produced freely from June until freezing weather. Selected sucker plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $30.00. Blackcap Raspberries will be found offered on page 44. / am always delighted when I receive plants from you for they are so healthy and tracked ivith such extreme care. If I ever start an-- other home I shall have you send me the entire plantinq for it. I know I would have no failures. MRS. C. M. BACON.
