We are always on the outlook for a better Straw- berry, especially an everbearing variety. There are many very good varieties like Mastodon, Gem, Way- zata, and Minn. 1166 (now named EVERMORE). They are all mighty good in every way. HOWEVER, we have never seen a more beautiful Strawberry than the STREAMLINER. It’s almost round, with a small hull, and of enormous size. Even larger than the famous Mastodon. The STREAMLINER will ripen up even, to the prettiest bright scarlet color, which will attract customers’ attention every time. Sweet as honey, with very little acid.

Pi NN Gio Ube E Cll ON mica © Um EAE BAW eC AYes OL: This is the newest thing out in everbearing Strawberry varieties. We do not believe that it’s better than any of the other varieties we list. It grows a lot like the Gem variety that we have dis- carded in favor of SUPERFECTION. It will, like all the everbearers that we list, bear fruit in 60 days after set, and produce 3 crops in 18 EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY months. This variety will do better on heavy clay soil than any variety we have. Fruit is large, red all the way through. A little more irregular in shape than Streamliner, however, they make a beautiful package when picked. Excellent for freezing or canning because they are so firm. Under all tests it’s been proven to be the most rugged and hardiest of all. Set plants in April or May, and by July 15th they will be in full produc tion. Ripe berries, green ones, and beautiful large white blooms all at the same time. From bloom to a ripe berry takes 30 days. Prices below to left.

An Everbearing Straw- a berry That Has Everything—Starts -_ Bearing 60 Days After Set and Con- tinues Bearing Till Heavy Frosts— 3 CROPS IN 18 MONTHS! Minnesota 1166 is a large, long-pointed berry, pro- duced on long-branched fruit stems, well hidden under the leaves for good protection. The color of the fruit is on the dark red order, and a solid red clear through the berry, even when the berry is still not quite ripe. Nearly as mild as Bruns Marvel. Minnesota 1166 is just as productive as any ever- bearing Strawberry we have grown, and makes a good quantity of plants. For best results in fruit production, we recommend that the runners be pinched off as fast as they appear in the summer. It’s a strong grower, resembling the Missionary variety. The fruit is attached to a fine green hull that will not pull out even when the ber- ries are dead ripe. This, with the small amount of juice this variety contains, will make it the very best jam berry ever introduced. This variety has been known to keep 5 days without refrigeration, and never mold or spoil in the hottest weather. It will dry up like a raisin before it will spoil. This will make it the coming commercial variety, as most other everbearing varieties will not keep long after picked. Minnesota 1166 berries shipped to the South Water Street market in Chicago this summer sold for $7.50 per 24-pint crate. Once you have tasted Minnesota 1166 berries you will eat no other kind. We know, for we grow all the varieties and at our table we choose the Minnesota 1166 every time.

The size of the berry is like Streamliner—-very large. It is of very good quality, red all the way through, and fine flavor. Bears as heavy as Streamliner, and makes many new runner plants. These new runner plants will also bear toward fall, and then you have a real picking row. This wide row will make fine picking next June as a spring berry. Mastodon does not require any special soil, care or petting. They grow most anywhere, or on any soil that will grow garden or potatoes. They sell like “hot cakes” on roadside stands, or on any market. It will take a hard freeze to stop Mastodon from bearing. White frost will never hurt them at all. A field of Mastodon in full bearing in late November is a sight never to be forgotten. Even after a light snow one can go out and find ripe berries unharmed.

We call it the “Business Blackcap” because it succeeds on all soils and produces its big crops year after year.

The OUTSTANDING NEW RED RASPBERRY originated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture has now been christened SUNRISE. It comes to fruit growers with many advan- tages over older sorts. DR. DARROW and PROFESSOR CLARK described the new berry in the U. S. Department Circular 397. It originated as a cross between Latham and Ranere. Among other things they say: ‘‘Of most importance about SUNRISE from the standpoint of the practical grower perhaps are: 1—‘*‘HARDINESS and RESISTANCE to disease.”’ 2—**EARLINESS and LARGER SIZE of the berry as compared with Ranere.”’ 3—“BETTER TEXTURE and QUALITY of the fruit compared with Latham.” SS . . : : MPA Extra early. Extra fine flavor. SUNRISE will grow and produce farther south than any other Red Raspberry known. Still it is perfectly hardy in all northern states, and some parts of Canada.

This new strain Thornless Boysenberry is identical to the Boysenberry except that there are no thorns and it ripens earlier. This is a very good feature as the early berries bring more money. The Thornless is just as hardy, rugged and heavy bearing as its parent, the Boysenberry.

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 did 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 ft. tall, but it will be the same size in cir- cumference. 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 ft. apart each way, and keep clean by frequent cultivation. Hoe all weeds away from the plants. We offer 2-yr., 3-yr., 4-yr. and 5-yr.-old plants. All of these sizes have some buds. You can expect 2 to 6 quarts of fruit from a 5-year-old plant the year after set, when it becomes well established. Even the 3-year-old plants will bear some fruit the same year set. We offer for sale ‘JERSEY, RUBEL and RANCOCAS varieties. These are the three best ones. —TheYRANCOCAS is early. Then comes RUBEL, and for late its JERSEY. JERSEY bears the largest berries. All are excellent qual- ity, and go well together on account of pollen- ization. You may order by name or leave it up to us to select the varieties for best pollenization.

Korean Bush Cherries grow only 3 to 4 feet tall. They make excellent foundation plantings with their delicate green leaves (which turn bronze in the fall), their mass of white bloom early in spring and brilliant red fruit in August. BEAUTIFUL AND USEFUL, TOO You can plant Korean Cherries near the house, in the shrub border, the screen planting, or in the garden. Resembling flowering almonds, they add a touch of beauty to any landscape planting. And they provide fresh fruit grown inside the foliage where birds can’t reach. Or plant them especially for the birds. You would hardly suspect that these little bushes bear loads of delicious full-sized cherries the second year. The fruit is sweeter than regular pie cherries. The pies they make will please the heart (and stomach) of any man or boy! The wild form of this cherry is a tough, hardy native of Korea. Horticulturists at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding farm im- proved it by years of selection and testing. Our stocks are propagated from the state’s best selections. We offer Korean No. 20 and Korean No. 60. It will be neces- sary that you plant one of each to insure correct pollenization. PRICES: Korean No. 20 and No. 60, 2-3 ft., 2-year-old plants, each $1.50; 3. for $4.00; 6 for $7.00. [24] HALE- HAVEN This variety is a week later than Fairhaven. In popularity and profit producing, it is second only to the famous Elberta. In a few years there will be more Hale-Haven planted than any other variety. Our fancy, well-bred Hale-Haven trees will bear young and annually. Fruit is freestone, and deep orange- yellow with deep red color many days before they are fit to pick. When fully tree-ripened they are a sight to look at. Firm, yet tender, sweet and juicy. Ship well and will keep a week in the refrigerator, even when fully ripe. We do not hesitate to say that Hale-Haven is the best canning and freezing variety of them all. PRICES HALE- “HAVEN F uper Size, nc | 11/16 in.

Double Red Delicious is America’s number one Apple. It tops the market every time, and seems to bear in a wide range of soils and climates. The fruits are very large, solid red, with the five points, and rather long in shape. Truly a most beau- tiful Apple, and the best eating Apple of them all. Flesh slightly yellow, with semi-sweet fla- vor. Two- and three-year-old sizes available. Prices below. DOUBLE RED JONATHAN This is No. 2 Apple on the market. That is, Red Delicious brings the highest prices and sells the best, and Jonathan comes next. This variety cannot be praised too highly. It’s solid red, good sized, firm, juicy, and keeps well. Its flesh is white and brittle with that tart tangy flavor that’s in a class all of its own. Cast your eye on that Jonathan Apple below. That’s just the way they look when fully ripe. If I had room for only one Apple tree, I would surely plant a Jonathan. Start to bear fourth year after set, and bear every year. We have a 40- acre Avple orchard in bearing.
