The fall crop, which is borne on the new growth, starts to ripen in early September. This is a month earlier than Indian Summer bears the fall crop. In both crops the berries are about as large as Latham, and of about the same quality. The plants are vigorous, healthy, and hardy. This NEW variety has been carefully tested for several years, and has proved to be the best of the two-crop-a-year red Raspberries.

An old standby that grows anywhere on most any type of soil, and so hardy that it will stand 45 degrees below zero. Latham berries are large, often an inch in diameter. Best all- around berry to grow. Cans well, and fine for freezing. The plants grow large and tall. Holds the load of fruit well when trimmed back to 30 inches tall each spring. Latham has that old-fashioned real Red Raspberry flavor that is lacking in so many other varieties. Set Latham plants 3/4 ft. by 7 ft. apart. March, April and May are the best planting months. Plant soon as ground can be worked. 25 plants will plant a row 85 feet long, and plenty for average family.

Ice Box Watermelon NEW EARLY RED Stanley Johnston, superintendent of the South Haven, Michigan ex- periment station, has developed this EXTRA early Red Raspberry. EARLY RED is the name given this product of 20 years of breeding and testing. This variety is especially valuable because it comes into bear- ing so early, way before any other Red Raspberries are on the market. Market gardeners make big money with EARLY RED. The plant grows tall. It’s very hardy and vigcrous, and very productive. Berries are beau- tiful red, round and of medium size. Excellent for freezing or canning. Plants of this variety are still scarce, so order early.

It’s a chance seedling, since it was found growing wild. It was taken up and cul- tivated because we noticed that the berries were ripe and ready two weeks before any other variety, so that is the outstanding fea- ture of MORTGAGE LIFTER. Ber- ries are medium large, sweet as honey, and firm. They are all gone when Cum- berland starts to ripen. If you plant only a few in your garden you will have the first ripe berries in your neigh- borhood. If you plant them for mar- ket, then you will really “clean up,” since it’s always the first ones ripe that ; make the mon- ey. It’s a real mortgage lifter.

SET te, >, RED RICH is Plant Patent No. 993. RED RICH is a hybrid of the WAYZATA everbearing variety, and FAIRFAX, and is the result of over 15,000 seedlings. It’s the largest, thriftiest growing Straw- berry. RED RICH is the best everbearing variety of the day by University of Illinois tests. They say: “‘Of the 29 everbearing varieties we tested here last season, RED RICH is by far the best.’’ Signed Herschel L. Ball, Assistant in Pomology. Dr. Leon C. Snyder, Extension Horticulturist of the University of Minn. reports that RED RICH produced 66 quarts on a triple row hill system. On an acre basis the RED RICH yield was about 13,000 quarts. Plants were set 1 foot apart each way. RED RICH is unsurpassed as a freezing berry. Firm and deep red clear through, does not mush up when thawed out. Being honey-sweet it requires little sugar. RED RICH can be frozen whole. RED RICH is a large, rugged plant. Twice the size of any other Strawberry plant. Bugs and disease don’t seem to like it at all. Starts to bear 60 days after set out and never quits till late in the fall. Red Rich will produce 3 crops in 18 months. As a dessert berry it has very high quality, honey sweet from its parent Wayzata. Extra large and deep red all the way through like its parent Fairfax. The large size of Red Rich is maintained throughout the bearing season. RED RICH is not fussy about the type of soil but the more fertile the better.

Each year as we learn more and more about growing the HYBRID cultivated Blueberries, we find that they are not near as fussy about what kind of soil they will grow on, as we thought a few years ago. Of course, they prefer a rather moist acid soil, but we also find that they will grow on other soil too, by adding some peat moss, old leaves or sawdust with the soil. Sulphur and water them well during dry spells. The cultivated Blueberry is a rather DWARF growing plant. A plant 15 years old will not be over 6 feet tall, but it will be the same size in circumference. They grow in a ball shape plant, and their roots are all very near the top of the soil, so they must be cultivated very shallow. Set the plants 5 feet apart each way, and keep clean by frequent cultivation. Hoe all weeds away from the plants. We are offering you 4-year-old plants that are full of buds, and ready to bear for you right from the start. See picture below of a five-year-old bush\ JERSEY, RUBEL and\RANCOCAS are the three best ones. The RANCOCAS is early. Then comes RUBEL, and for late it’s JERSEY. JERSEY bears the largest berries.

[8] \ CONCORD Concord is beyond a doubt the most popular blue Grape. More Concord are planted than all other varieties. It is the commercial table and wine variety. Concord is perfectly hardy, having stood 30 degrees below zero without injury. Does well on any soil, but makes the sweetest fruit on light sand that has been well fertilized. Bunches are large, compact and well shap- ed. Sweet and juicy. Vines grow fast, and bear young. \ NIAGARA _ This is the best all-around white Grape. It’s sweet and juicy. Hardy and dependable. Tangy Muscatlike flavor. Can be used as many ways as Concord and Fredonia. \CACO This is the new quick-growing, young-bearing, delicious, sweet, big red Grape that is so popular. It has no equal as a home-use table Grape. It has a peculiar characteristic found in no other Grape, in that it is rich in flavor. Its deep, wine-red color is so pleasing to the eye. A vine full of these rich red beauties is a sight. FREDONIA This is the first Grape to ripen. Very dependable blue Grape. Sweet as honey. Produces extra large bunches. Shape like Concord, except larger. Flavor is so delicious whether eaten fresh or made into juice, wine or jelly. A money-maker too, commercially. \ GOLDEN MUSCAT This new hardy California yellow Grape can now be grown any- where, because it’s hardy enough. Berries large, and form a big compact bunch that is very attractive. Quality is of the best, fruit being meaty with the Muscat aroma.
