Do not assume content reflects current
scientific knowledge, policies, or practices.

‘HE OBJECT of this folder is to place before
you a short list of varieties that combine
vigor of growth, hardiness and produc-
tiveness. We have included only those
sorts that, from our own experience and
the reports of others, are a success over
a wide range of territory.

This is only a partial list of what we
grow and sell. If you do not find what 5’ou want, send
a list of your wants for prices.

Why We A re in a Position to
Furnish You the Best

The soil on which we grow our plants is a sandy loam
with a clay subsoil, kept in a good state of fertility
with Imrnyard manure. This, with good cultivation,
makes ideal conditions in which to grow strong, fibrous
rooted plants, shrubs, etc. To get the largest returns
from a cow or horse, it is important that you start
with a strong, healthy calf or colt. The same is true
in buying nursery stock; one must have well-grown
healthy trees and plants in order to obtain the best
results. '•>

We grade and pack all our trees, plants, etc., under
cover away from sun and wind, and use everj- means
possible in the handling and packing of our stock so
that it will reach you in shape to go right on growing.

ORDER NOW and stock will be reserved for you.

Terms cash unless by special arrangernent.

Strawberries

Our strawberry plants are all fresh dug-. We use no storage plants.
The entire row is taken up. The old plants and the weak ones are
thrown out. You got the best there is when you buy our plants.

Plant strawberries in the spring; the rows 3% feet apart; plants
18 to 24 inches apart in the row. Keep blossoms picked off the year
thej’- are planted and let the runners grow and root. Keep well culti-
vated and after the ground freezes, cover with hay or straw. The
following season, pick all the fruit you can use.

SENATOR DUNEAP (Per.) Taken altogether, we believe this to
be the best variety in general cultivation today. One of the best to
plant as a fertilizer with the Warfield, as the fruit picks and markets
well with that variety.

WARFIELD (Imp.) One of the old varieties, but still very popular
on account of its firmness and color, which is a rich dark red, mak-
ing it one of the very best for canning. Plant is rather small, but is
vigorous and productive. We recommend planting the Senator Dunlap
as a fertilizer with this.

BEDERWOOD (Per.) Comes into bearing early in the season and
continues to produce perfect berries to the end of the strawberry
season. It has a long blossoming period and is one of the best fer-
tilizers for the Haverland and other early and mid-season varieties.
We like this the best of any variety we have for an early berry. The
plant is a strong grower and productive; the berry is medium to large,
nearly round, and fine for home use or near market, but too soft for
shipping.

Wisconsin gardeners.

GIBSON (Per.) This variety is a favorite with many of the Michigan
growers and is also being planted quite extensively by some of our
The plant is a strong, thrifty, healthy grower;
the berry is large, dark red and of fine appear-
ance. Season medium early to late. A variety
that- is worthy of a fair trial.

PAUL JONES (Imp.) This is a new
variety that is very promising. The
plant is a strong, healthy grower, send-
ing out an abun-
dance of runners and
is productive. The
fruit is long, conical
in shape, bright red
and of good quality.
We consider it much
superior to the
Haverland, which it
resembles in shape.

AROMA (Per.)
Ou(i' favorCtei as a
late berry. Fruit is
large, roundish, con-
ical in shape and of
fine quality. Plant
is a strong, healthy,
vigorous grower.
Very productive.

DR. BURRILL. One of the
newer varieties. Of the Dunlap
type and claimed by some to
be superior to that variety.
Plant strong and healthy. Fo-
liage is large, of a beautiful
dark green color and very
hardy and healthy. Berry is
good size, bright red, uniform

Fall Bearing Straw-
berries

Black Raspberries and those that root from the tip should be planted
in the spring-. Red or sucker varieties can be planted either fall or
spring. Plant the cap varieties 7 feet by about 3 feet, and keep thor-
oughly cultivated, but do not cultivate deep. Pinch off the tip of the
canes after the first year, -^v^hen 2 to 2% feet high. This makes the
canes stocky, and does away -w^ith the necessity of tying up the canes.
These side branches should be cut back in the spring to 15 to 18
inches in length.

The everbearing strawberry has
passed the experimental stage. Give
plenty of fertility and water and you
can pick berries until November.

PROGRESSIVE (Per.) Plant a very
strong grower. Fruit of good size,
conical in shape, good color and qual-
ity. The best of the everbearers. The
matted row system of growing this
variety will produce more berries in
the fall of the first year, than any
other variety, and for this reason, the
majority of growers prefer this variety.
.411 of the new formed plants of Pro-
gressive will bear a heavy crop of ber-
ries in the fall of the year, as well as
the mother plant. Plant this variety
the same as you would any other kind
for the matted row system, about 3%
feet betw^een the rows, by IS inches
in the row. Keep all blossom stems
picked off from the mother plant until
July 1st, give clean cultivation through-
out the season, and results will be
gratifying.

What the C. C. & E. Service Means to You

The experience gained during forty years of growing Fruits,
Fruit Tres, Vines, Shrubs, and Ornamentals in Wisconsin, is yours.
This should mean much, as we are in a position to know what va-
rieties are most suitable to your location.

If it is Landscape Work in which you are interested we can
make the plans and furnish the goods. If the effect is not what
it should be, you know whose fault it is. If your plan is made
by one party and you get the goods from another, and the results
are not satisfactory, who is to blame?

We cheerfully correct all errors of our own making.

: Raspberries

All tip varieties do best on a well drained soil. They will not
thrive with wet feet. Care should be taken not to plant them too
deep. The crown of the plant should not be covered more than
two inches. For the best results they should be well fertilized.
Stable manure is the best for this and ten to twelve loads a year
will prove a good investment.

The sucker varieties can be planted 6 feet by about 2 feet and
allowed to form hedge rows. North of latitude 43, we advise winter
protection of raspberries and blackberries.

CAP VARIETIES

MIXGEK. For
this latitude we con-
sider this a more
valuable variety
than the Greg-g-. The bush
is a strong, upright grow-
er, and is perfectly hardy
with us. The fruit is
larger than the Gregg and
ripens even later than that
variety. We consider it
the best late variety we
have tested.

PLEM FAR3LEK. Ripens the entire # Cumberlaml

crop in a few days, and is early enough i Raspberries,

to get the good prices. The bush, so r ' ^

far, has been perfectly hardy here, is a

good grower and productive. The berry is of good size, and of a qual-
ity that makes it a good market berry.

COT.UMBI.EX. The strongest
growing variety on our grounds.
Fruit large, dark purple and
of good quality; excellent for
canning. Hardy, very produc-
tive, and taken all together,
one of the most desirable
sorts we have.

Cl MBERL.\XI). The

largest Black Raspberry
known. It has been well
tested and is giving the
best of satisfaction.

The quality is of the
best, and in spite of
its great size, is
very firm; ripens
mid-season. Canes
are very large and
strong and able to
carry their load of
fruit.

SUCKER VARIETIES

ST. REGIS. This is called the fall bearing raspberry and is worthy
of the name. It gives a .splendid crop of good sized, bright red fruit
of fine quality in July, and later in the season during September and
October it produces a liberal amount of fruit on the tips of the new
canes. The oane is perfectly hardy here and is a strong, healthy
grower.

KING. This is claimed by many to be the best early red raspberry.
Our experience with it fully substantiates these claims; cane is a
strong grower and hardy; berry is large,
good color, firm, and bright red and
good quality. A good market sort.

Eldorado Blackberries.

Blackberries

This valuable fruit
begins to ripen be-
fore ra.spberries are
gone and continues
until grapes are ripe,
thus keeping up a
constant supply of
fruit for the table
and market. Black-
berries do well on
any moderately rich,
well drained soil.
Thorough cultivation
is necessary for best
results.

EEDOBADO. Per-
haps the most valu-
able blackberry for
our northern cli-
mate. The berries
are large, jet black,
ripen well together
and are borne In
large clusters; they
are sweet and deli-
cious, have no hard
core, and keep well
after picking.

SNYDER. This is
a well-known pop-
ular variety; hardy
and productive. It
is quite early and is
a valuable market
variety.

THE COE. CONVERSE & EDWARDS COMPANY

To get the best
results, plant in
a deep, rich soil,
and give good
cultivation and
plenty of well-
rotted manure.

Keep the bush
well thinned, out
in the center, and
do not have
more than four
or five bearing
canes at a time.

The best method
of renewing is,
after the bush
is four or five
years old, to re-
move one of the
old canes each
year land leave
one of the
strongest new
siproults. Plant
either in the
fall or spring 5
by 6 feet. For
the currant
worm, use fresh
white hellebore,
one ounce to 2
gallons of water,
or dust bush
with it when
dew is on.

PERFECTION.

Size equal to
Fay, the cluster aver-
aging longer, with good
long stem, making it
easy to pick. Equal in
productiveness’ to any
of the large sorts. The
quality is rich, mild,
sub-acid, with few seeds.

One of the best varieties for table
use. The bushes make a fair growth
and have an abundance of large,
healthy foliage.

WIEDER. This is proving to be
one of the most profitable ma.rket
sorts. The bush is a good grower;

the fruit is of good color and large enough to bring the best prices on
the market. We consider this the best red currant we have.

Currants

WHITE GRAPE. The best table variety, large and luscious. A
good grower and productive.

Gooseberries

Require the same care and soil as Currants, except that we do not
recommend fall planting in the North.

HOWNING. This we consider the most valuable gooseberry grown,
always giving good crops of large, handsome, pale green berries of
fine quality. Bush a vigorous grower and enormously productive.

Grapes

The grape vine should be planted
in good, rich, well drained soil, 6 tO'
S feet apart, and from 4 to 6 inches
deep, dirt ])ressed firmly around the
roots. Dig the hole large enough to
take in the roots without crossing
each other. Trimming should be done
after the leaves drop. The first year
allow only one cane to grow, cuttin.g
back in the fall to within three or
four buds of the ground. The se-
cond season train up two canes, cut-
ting back in the fall to 2 or 3 feet
in length if the vine has made good
growth.

We prefer tying to stake and not
allowing the vine to get over six
feet in height. In towns where there
is but little room, they .can) be
successfully trained on the side of
buildings and trellises. Cover with
earth or hay before the ground
freezes.

BETA (Black). Is especially valu-
able where extreme hardiness is de-
sired. Said to stand the winters in
Dakota without protection. FruH't
is of medium size and fair quality.

BRIGHTON (Red). Bunch medium
to large, long, compact, shouldered.

Berries of medium size, thin skin,
flesh tender and of best quality. Vine
hardy, vigorous and productive;
ripens with Concord. Should be
planted near other varieties, as it
does not always fertilize when alone.

CONCORD (Black). The most
popular grape in America. Bunch
and berry large and of .good equality.

Vine vigorous, healthy, hardy and
productive.

MOORE’S EARLY (Black). One of
the very best early black grapes.

Clusters medium size; berry very
large. Ripens nearly two weeks be-
fore the Concord, and is about the
same quality. Vines hardy. Should
have a place in every fruit garden. Concord Grapes,

NI.YGARA. Strong grower; bunches Reduced Size,

very large and compact, some-
times shouldered; berries as large or larger than the Concord, mostly
round, light greenish white, semi-transparent, slightly amber in the
sun. Skin thin but tough and does not crack. Quality good, has a
flavor and aroma peculiar to itself; much liked by most people.

WORDEN. A splendid grape of the Concord type, but earlier; larger
in bunch and berry and of decidedly better quality; vine as hardy as
the old standby and in every way as healthy.

Asparagus

This delicious and healthful vegetable should be found in every
garden. Nothing can be more easily grown and no plant ^will give
so much healthful food for so little outlay. Set in the fall or spring,
with the crown of the plant about three
inches below the surface of the ground.

Ten to twelve inches by two feet is a
good distance to plant. Every fall give
the bed a good coat of manure, working
it in between the rows in the spring.

Liberal applications of salt are also
beneficial.

CONOVER’S COLOSSAL. A standard
variety. Well known as a valuable
market and garden sort.

P.VLMETTO. Extensively grown for
market on account of earliness, large
size and fine appearance. We consider

it our best.

Rhubarb

Plant the hills 3 or 4 feet apart, and
make the ground very rich by a good
mulch of manure, well worked in every
fall or spring.

QUEEN. The extra large, tender stalks
are a decided pink color. Delicious for
cooking or canning. A very strong
grower.

VICTORIA. Early, large, good for
either market or home use. Conover’s Colossal Asparagus.

McIntosh Apples.

Apples

Wisconsin has been proven beyond a question to have quite an exten-
sive area that is especially adapted to the growing of this fruit in a
commercial way, the necessary requirements for success being good, well-
drained soil, a proper seleotion of varieties for that locality, and the
care after planting, which means cultivation, spraying, and pruning.

One of the most common errors made by those planting for market
is the use of too many varieties. If ten or twenty men in one section
are growing apples and have a few good kinds, they are in a posi-
tion to form an association, ship in car lots, and in that way obtain
best prices.

in both the named varieties and mixture includes the most desirable
sorts. Bulbs should be planted 4 inches apart and from 3 to 4
inches deep.
