THE NEW MONEY-MAKER
50 Berries
known to fill a
quart box.
See cover for
picture in
natural colors.
Known to bear nearly 6 tons per acre. Berries get to be
1 14 to 2 inches long, 1-inch thick. Sweet, few seeds, and hardy.
Boysenberry is the sensational new berry. It was introduced in 1932 in
California. It is a cross between the California Loganberry, Raspberry, and
Blackberry. Think of a berry that has a little of each of these fruits all in
one giant, nearly seedless, beautiful wine-colored berry, with a flavor that
you will never forget. They are sweet and juicy, yet firm enough to stand
handling and shipping to market. The vines are hardy, and can be grown in
the East and North, as well as in California and other southern states.
Enormous Size
From a recent publication by the United
States Dept, of Agriculture is the following
statement: “Under favorable conditions, 50
of the largest berries will fill a quart box." Of
course these 50 berries would have to be
selected, and would not be the average. We
would say that 75 to 85 berries would be
average.
Profitable
Whether you are growing berries for market
or just a few in your garden, it will pay you well
to get started right now. Twenty-five plants
will be plenty for home use. Six hundred plants
will set an acre, set 8 ft. by 8 ft.
Growing Suggestions
The BOYSENBERRY is a vine. It should be
set 8 ft. apart each way. This is because it is a
rank grower. In this way yau can cultivate
them both ways and save hoeing. Set the
plants in April and May, and let them vine on
the ground the first year. In the fall follow¬
ing setting, we would suggest a little manure
applied around each plant. In the spring, they
should be tied up to wires, just like grape
vines. One-half pound of Sulphate of Am¬
monia applied to each plant early in the spring
will cause them to produce these enormous
crops. Good cultivation right through picking
season will hold moisture. Start right by
getting the genuine Boysenberry plants from
us. Our prices are right. 600 plants will set
an acre.

Our Guarantee
We guarantee every plant
sold by us to be first class in
every respect, free from any
injurious diseases or insects,
and true-to-name, and hold
ourselves ready upon proper
proof, to refund or replace
any that prove otherwise. It
is mutually agreed between
ourselves and the customers
that we shall not be liable
for a greater sum than the
amount paid us for the
plants. Not responsible for
crop damaged by weather,
fire or floods. We reserve
the right to return money in
case of shortage.
It is a pleasure to send you this catalog called GARDEN SUCCESS, and I hope you will like it.
I will again offer you the highest quality Hardy Northern Grown stock at the lowest possible
price. The South Michigan Nursery, I believe, will have a larger stock of the New Wayzata
everbearing strawberry to offer this year, than any other one nursery in the country. We always
have been headquarters for the famous Mastodon everbearing strawberry, and originator of the
Alfred Blackberry.
Your order, large or small, will be appreciated. Most nurseries will not accept an order for
less than one dollar. I will take your order from 10c up, and it will get just as much attention
as one for $10.00. Your order will receive my personal attention, and you will get a square
deal, or I want to know about it. Your order will be acknowledged promptly by first-class mail,
in the form of a duplicate copy.
Our terms are cash with order. Later in the season, if you are in a hurry, you may phone or
wire your order and it will be shipped the same day C.O.D. Phone New Buffalo No. 27. Western
Union and Postal Telegraph service are both available.
If you have the money on hand when this catalog arrives, you can save some money by
ordering at once. I am offering you 10% discount for all orders received in January, 5% for
all orders received in February. Don't overlook the nice premiums I am offering for $5.00,
$10.00, $25.00 and $50.00 orders. This stock will be of the highest grade — not a lot of junk
we want to get rid of. I want to thank all my old customers and friends who have ordered be¬
fore. And to you who have never ordered from the South Michigan Nursery, will say that I
believe that it will pay you to direct a trial order this way this year. Remember, satisfaction
guaranteed. All plants are twice State Inspected, and are healthy and true-to-name.
Now for a few words about some of the items that are listed. The Boysenberry is a real home
use berry and a commercial money maker. It is past the experimental stage. The Blueberries
are being grown more and more by the home gardener. With the SODUS ACID HUMUS that
we handle this year, anybody can grow them in their garden. The Wayzata is doing better
every year. Mastodon and Gem are still the leaders. We are offering several new varieties of
raspberries, and 32 varieties of new and old apples. We have added many new varieties of
of shrubs, evergreens, and ornamentals, and a dozen of the finest everblooming roses that you
can grow. Only the real worth while varieties of peaches, pears, plums, cherries and grapes are
offered. Your order will be greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged the same day received.
Your acknowledgment will be a copy of your order sent to you by first class mail. This gives
you a chance to check it and report a mistake if it should happen.

A BARREL OF STRAWBERRIES
and a Barrel of Fun
Grow any everbearing strawberry in a barrel. 50 plants can be planted in Q cornmori sugar barrel, or
even an old potato barrel. Bore 2-inch holes in the side of the barrel, and fill barrel with some good soil.
Then set the plants in these holes, and 10 plants can be set on top. Keep well watered. Be sure to bore
a few small holes in the bottom for drainage. Barrel can be kept in the back yard, or even on the back
porch. This saves space, and you can have berries for breakfast twice a week. No weeds, no cultivation
necessary. Keep runners pinched off. Wayzata would be the ideal variety to grow by this method, i h^ey
make very few runners, but great quantities of berries. Be the first one in your neighborhood to try
this stunt.

NORTH JUDSON, IND.— The
photo at left is of Joseph Sinde-
lar of North Judson, Indiana,
who is picking strawberries "by
the barrel." Mr. Sindelar drilled
holes in the side of a barrel,
filled it with soil, and whenever
he craves a dish of berries he
rolls the barrel in the shade of
the old apple tree, pulls up a
comfortable rocker and avoids
the back-breaking work of the
berry picker in the sun.

A few years ago, before automobiles were
all good, I often said I wished I could have a
car with all the good points of all the makes
in one car — then I would have a real automo¬
bile. WAYZATA is like the REAL automobile.
It has all the good features of all Strawberry
varieties. First of all, it is the sweetest of all
Strawberries. It is red clear to the heart, never ripens
with a green tip. One of the most noticeable fea¬
tures of Wayzata is its very small hull, and this makes
it easy to prepare for table use. The berry is well
shaped, firm, and ships well.
Wayzata challenges the world in size and productiveness.
Will bear three crops in eighteen months. The plants will start
to bear fruit in 60 to 90 days after setting. Wayzata adapts itself
to the widest range of soils of any variety. It does excellently in a
heavy clay soil, has given fine results in muck bottom lands, and, of course, never fails
on sandy and sandy loam soils. Will even give satisfactory results in the lightest of
yellow sand, with a little fertilizer added to the soil before setting. It is hardy and
tough. Has stood 40 degrees below zero without injury. It seems that diseases and
insects just do not like the Wayzata plants. Their dark green, leather-like leaves
are very rarely attacked by any of the common Strawberry diseases or enemies.
In drought-resisting, Wayzata does as well as Senator Dunlap. Wayzata makes
very few runner plants, but makes stools of suckers that will also bear fruit. It is too
busy making fruit buds and new stools. I have counted over 20 fruit stems on a single
plant, and still more were coming out. The plant will be just loaded with ripe berries,
green berries, blossoms and buds. This is continuous from July to winter. The very
reason that Wayzata plants are listed higher than other varieties of Strawberries is
that even with our scientific method of growing Wayzata for plants only, we have
difficulty growing enough plants to supply the demand.

STROMER OFFERS SOMETHING
NEW IN STRAWBERRY PLANTS
Notice the picture of the two strawberry plants. This is something new.
This year we are listing Wayzata Strawberry clumps. The smaller plant to
the left is a one-year-old runner plant, and the large one is a Wayzata
clump. This clump is over ten times as large as the one-year-old plant. In
April, 1936, this plant was only as large as the one-year plant; in six
months it grew to the size that it is. The rule between them is an 1 8-inch
rule, and this will give you some idea as to the size. This clump plant
could be divided into 6 or 8 plants, and every one of them would do just
as well as the one-year-old plant at the left, but by carefully planting
this clump in your garden just as it is, by the middle of the summer you
could have a single Wayzata plant as large as a bushel basket, and
loaded with great quantities of rich red berries.
Twenty-five clumps should furnish enough berries for an average
family. This very clump plant, before it was dug up to make this photo-
graph, was fourteen inches in diameter. These Wayzata plants were
grown on rich, new ground — note the particle of rotted wood fibers still
attached to the roots. These CLUMP plants are mother plants that failed
to send out runner plants and instead sent out stool plants all around
the mother plant. These clump plants will give marvelous results with
ordinary good care when set in your garden. They are much easier to
start than the runner plants, because you have more to start with. They
should be planted like you would a tree. The roots ore long and plenty of
them. Spread the roots out all over the shallow hole. DO NOT SET TOO
DEEP and tramp the soil firmly around the plant. Keep all the buds and
blossoms off the plants for the first five or six weeks. This will give the
plants a good start, and then let them blossom all they want. You will
have berries within three weeks after they start to bloom.

BLUEBERRIES
DELICIOUS
PROFITABLE
VERY ORNAMENTAL
Our Blueberries are far superior to the wild
Blueberry or Huckleberry. These Blueberries
grow in large clusters of the most beautiful
blue color, plump, tender and practically
seedless. The flavor of these cultivated Blue¬
berries is simply delicious. Bushes will grow
to the height of 8 feet. The plant itself is very
ornamental.
During the summer the foliage is deep satiny green,
and against this background hang clusters of berries
royal in their magnificence. During autumn the leaves
turn bronze, and during the winter months the twigs are
red. Buds are pink and open to white, bell-shaped
flowers. Two plants should be set out to insure cross
pollination, so we would not advise to set just one
plant. We are offering 2-year plants that will start to
bear the second year. Blueberries like these sell for 55c
and 70c per quart on retail markets.
Blueberries prefer an acid soil containing an abun¬
dance of peat or other partially rotted vegetable mat¬
ter. They also need a moderate supply of moisture,
but good drainage. In other words, water must not
stand where they are planted. If your soil is not al¬
ready acid, this condition can be created by mixing in
the soil, old sawdust, pine needles, or soil from the
bottom of old wood piles. But the very best thing to
use is our SODUS ACID HUMUS. This is a sour fer¬
tilizer you should use for Blueberries, Evergreens,
Azaleas, Rhododendrons, or any shrub that requires an
acid soil.
DIRECTIONS for the use of SODUS ACID HUMUS
for planting Blueberries or other plants that need an
acid condition: Dig a hole large enough for the roots
to have a full spread on the bottom, so the ends of the
roots do not turn up. Have the hole at least six inches
deeper than needed. Then pour one gallon of SODUS
ACID HUMUS in the bottom with an equal amount of
the top dirt, mix this thoroughly before putting the
plant in place. Then use another gallon as you fill the
hole up. If the soil is poor, use more of the Sodus Acid
Humus. You will be pleased with the results.
Price: 2-bushel bag (about 100 lbs)., $1.00, no dis¬
count. Carload prices on request.

Premier
PREMIER
The Most Popular Berry
Ever Introduced
If you plant STROMER'S PREMIER you
will get the first berries on the market. They
will be bearing heavily before other varieties
begin. Your biggest picking will be when
berries are in good demand and are bringing
top prices. Premier will grow anywhere. The
plants are sturdy and long rooted, a good
drought-resister. The berries are very large,
and hold their size to the last picking. The
flavor cannot be beaten.
In Premier we offer you the greatest early Straw¬
berry of all time. However, the early ripening of
this variety is only one of its many good features.
It is immensely productive, and unlike other early ripen¬
ing Strawberries, the fruit produced by Premier is of the
very finest quality, color, texture and flavor; and last
but not least, every berry is large in size and uniform
in shape. For every purpose that a Strawberry is wanted,
Premier is supreme — eating, canning, preserving, distant and
local market — no other variety can give you any more pleas¬
ure, satisfaction or profit. Premier succeeds everywhere and
never fails to give a big crop of the very finest berries. The
foliage is tough and healthy and grows tall and rank, cov¬
ering the blossoms ond berries, and protecting them from
frost and scalding sun.

ripen midseason, and quality compares with Aroma and Blakemore. It was introduced by the

It is considered by most everyone who has tasted them to be by
far a better flavored berry than Premier, and other good flavored
berries. FAIRFAX, like DORSETT, was introduced by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and is supposed to be a cross
between the Premier and the Royal Sovereign. The foliage is of a
very good quality; good foliage means a good fruiting berry
Fairfax is also a very productive berry, having produced at the rate of
5120 quarts per acre. The size of the berries averages large. They will
average with the Chesapeake, and that is going some. Fairfax is a little
more firm than Dorsett, and is fully as firm as Blakemore. This makes it a
wonderful shipping berry. The color of the Fairfax is light red, with yellow
seeds, and a nice green hull, making a beautiful combination. You should
by all means try some Fairfax this spring.
BLACK
STRAWBERRY
This berry is so dork red that
we coll it Block. The flavor is
good and sweet. These almost
black berries are large, nearly
round, and of the finest quality.
Ripens midseason. One of the
finest berries for canning and
jam making, and will take no
back seat for any variety when
it comes to cream and sugar.

AMBROSIA (LATE)
The Ambrosia Late is absolutely
the very best late Strawberry that
we have today. It is also the very
largest Strawberry that we have
ever grown. Thirty berries are known Ambrosia
to fill a quart box. Plants grow tall
and vigorous. Have seen them grow¬
ing on good land, where the leaves
and fruit stems would be 14 inches
tall. As the berries ripen and get
heavy, the fruit stems will turn
down, and what a sight to look at,
when you brush the leaves to one
side. At last we have found a real
good late Strawberry to lengthen the
Strawberry bearing season.

BLAKEMORE (EARLY)
The United States Department of Agriculture
Recommends It
This wonderful new creation called the BLAKE¬
MORE (U. S. D. A. No. 659), was originated from
a cross of the Missionary and the Premier in the
year 1923 by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The berries are much firmer than the
Premier, Missionary or the Klondike. The BLAKE¬
MORE are slightly blunted conic with broad
shoulders and slim neck. The shape of the BLAKE¬
MORE might vary some in different localities.
Easy picking and hulling qualities. The berries are
a beautiful bright glossy red color, with tough
skin, firm flesh, with wonderful mild flavor.
Plants make runners freely, and you are sure of
getting a good fruiting row. They should be set
obout 24 inches apart. If set closer than that
they will get too thick. It has been tried out and
found to be one week earlier than Premier. It is a
wonderful market berry. Why wouldn't it be?
Think of it — one week earlier than Premier.
KY. AROMA
(VERY LATE)
This late Strawberry has long been a favorite
market variety in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri
and Arkansas, but is grown with equal success in
every other part of the country. Usually com¬
manding premium prices on all markets, it is one
of the greatest of long distance shippers, owing
to the supreme quality of the berries. It is also
highly desirable and suitable for home use as
there is something indescribably rich and pleas¬

SENATOR DUNLAP
(MIDSEASON)
SENATOR DUNLAP IS AN OLD STANDARD VA¬
RIETY. It has made more crates and more dollars for
berry growers than any other one variety. Requires
very little attention. It's the toughest variety known.
Plants are healthy, fast growers, and make plants
freely. Should be set 24 inches by 36 inches apart in
rows. Berries very dark red. Wonderful canning berry;
great for preserves. Senator Dunlap is sometimes sold
under the name of Dr. Burrill. \Ve can see no dif¬
ference between these two varieties, except the cost
of the plants.

3 Full Crops in 18 Months 3 Big Profits
When we tell you that Mastodon does produce three full crops
in 18 months; it is the largest berry grown; bears in 60 days after
planting; is on excellent shipper; brings more per quort; and is a
delicious home use berry — you probably won't believe it unless you
hove grown them yourself — and we don't blame you, but read
what other folks hove to soy.
Mastodon does not require special soil, care or petting. Sell for
30c to 50c per quart. Mastodon sells like "hot cakes" on roadside
stands. Commences to bear in 60 days after you set them. We
picked 181 quarts of berries from I ’/z acres on November 1st, and
on November 2nd the ground was frozen solid. This frost is what
stopped the Mastodon. Light frost will not injure them at all.
We often have folks ask us "How many quarts will 100 Masto¬
don give us a week?" We have watched our Mastodon fields this
summer, and find that they will bear 3 quarts 2 times a week.
If it is cool, they will not do quite so well. It takes about 8000
plants to set an acre, so that makes 480 quarts per week per acre,
and sell for 25c per quart, making $120.00 per acre per week.
Mr. Geo. Stromer. Collins, N. V., September 6, 1938.
Dear Sir: Last spring I purchased 2,000 Mastodon Everbearing
Strawberry Plants of you. 1 set them out May 13th, and had the
first strazvberry shortcake July eoth. Berries were ripe 60 days
after planting. People were amazed to see such wonderful plants.
They beat the pictures in the catalog three to one. They look like
year-old plants. I counted 46 berries on one plant and 45 on an¬
other plant of all sizes. I am selling Strawberries for 30c per quart.
Yours very truly, ERWIN J. BECKERICH.
Mr. George Stromer. Collins, N. Y., October 14, 1938.
Dear Sir: Again I am writing you in regard to the 2,000 Ever-
bearing Strawberry Plants I bought of you last spring. On October
6th and 3th, 1938, the thermometer dropped to 20 degrees. The
ground was frozen hard, and the zuater had ice three-fourths of an
inch thick on it. The neighbors said that killed the Strawberries,
but not one berry was hurt. I picked them and sold them to Cecil
Pendleton’s, of Collins, N. Y., for 30c per quart. And Belle Pen¬
dleton and Francis Beckerich, both of Collins, N. Y., counted 63
berries on one plant. They believe the plants would bear berries
at the North Pole. I sold 12 quarts of Strawberries on Septem¬
ber 30th at 30c per quart. The color and size were grand.
Very truly yours, ERWIN J. BECKERICH.
A REAL WONDER
MASTODON PRICES
It is the largest everbearing berry grown. Mastodon is the most prolific,
the finest, the most beautiful berry with the real Strawberry flavor. It is a
berry that bears early and late; one that can be picked all spring and sum¬
mer. Many of the berr:es grow as large as a silver dollar, and are just as
perfect. Mastodon is the real marvel in Strawberries; nothing like it has
ever been known. Plants that were set in May this year have produced as
high as 3 quarts per plant. A field of this Mastodon in bearing is a sight
never to be forgotten.

During our digging season, often there are a few plants left over
after each day's packing, and rather than hold these, will offer them
to you for $6.50 per 1000. These will be No. 1 in every way, but will
not be labeled. They will be either Wayzata, Mastodon, or Gem, as
they are the only everbearing varieties that we have. On page 6 we
offer non-everbearing varieties in a surplus at $3.95 per 1000. The

GIANT
EVERBEARER
Bears 60 Days After Planting
Three full crops in 18 months. GEM is o direct offspring of the
old Progressive Everbearing Strawberry. Mr. Frank Keplinger, of
Central Michigan, found a single plant growing in his Progressive
field, and he guarded it till he had plants enough of it
to offer to nurserymen. It is one of the greatest ever-
bearing Strawberries ever introduced because it is so
sweet and firm. Berries are long, and we find
them to be fully as productive as the Mastodon.
Berries ripen evenly and are light red all the wav
through. The young runner plants will bear as well
as the mother plont, so this makes it very pro¬
ductive.

This new variety was originated by the United
States Department of Agriculture. It is a cross be¬
tween the PREMIER and the Royal Sovereign, an
English variety.
Dorsett is one of the finest berries known, and one of the heaviest producers, having
produced at the rate of 6640 quarts per acre in the East. The foliage is a very dark
green and holds this fine color way through the fruiting season. Dorsett berries average
very large in size, even a little larger than Premier. Color is of light red, and will
hold this light red color long after picking. This probably will be a big factor when
you market them on the wholesale markets, as that is what the wholesale fruit buyers
are looking for in the past few years. Light red berries always appear to be in better
shape than do dark red ones. Be sure to try a few of the plants this year. Dorsett
is now the leading berry for all purposes.

Washington Asparagus
There is no variety of Asparagus as good as
Washington, and whether for home use only or
for market, you cannot afford to grow any other.
This wonderful new Asparagus was developed
and introduced by the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬
ture, and although a recent introduction, it has
become famous the country over.
Growers everywhere are discarding all other
varieties in favor of Washington, because it is
earlier, the stalks are larger, more tender, more
productive than any other variety, and last but
not least, WASHINGTON IS IMMUNE FROM
RUST.

Stromer's Giant Cherry Rhubarb
Before, Rhubarb was just Rhubarb, but now it is different.
Stromer s Cherry Rhubarb is the ane best Rhubarb af them all.
This is a long-season Rhubarb. It will start to grow very early
in the spring, and you can still be pulling it in late September.
The color of the stems is a brilliant red, often three feet tall,
depending on the soil. Twelve to fifteen of these long bright
red stems on a plant at a time. Older
plants have been known to bear fifteen
pounds to a picking. It is less acid,
and a much better flavor than the
ordinary kinds. The stems are large
and require less cooking without peel¬
ing them, and much less sugar. Com¬
mercial growers are making rea
money with this variety, and hame
gardens will find it the best to grow
hereafter. Four plants will be plenty
for a family of five. Set as early in
the spring as possible on good rich soil.
Cherry Rhubarb cannot be grown from
seed. We offer nice nursery-grown
roots at the following prices. Each,
35c; 4 for $1.00; 12 for $2.50, LESS

NIAGARA (White)
This is the Great White Grape that succeeds
everywhere and under all conditions. In fact,
it is really the White Concord, as it seems to
have all the good characteristics of that great
variety, being equally as vigorous, hardy, and
productive. Due to the tough, leathery foliage,
Niagara is practically immune to fungous dis¬
eases. It is one of the most delicious and beau¬
tiful of hardy Grapes and sells at fancy prices.
Berries are large; bunches large and compact;
color greenish yellow when fully ripe; juicy,
sweet and delicious. Whether planting for home
use or market, include Niagara in your order.
Prices above.
NEW BETA BLACK GRAPE

size, first in quality. Very early. The vine is a very
rank grower, exceedingly hardy and a tremendous
bearer. Very popular in the Northwest, where only
the earliest and hardiest varieties succeed.
DELAWARE RED GRAPE
A rich and delicately flavored little red Grape that
is generally recognized as the standard of quality to
judge other Grapes by. An exceptionally desirable
variety for home gardens on account of its compact
habit of growth. Commands a premium in all the
markets, often selling for twice the price of Concord.
Very hardy. Ripens here about the middle of Sep¬
tember.

tory. Berries large, and have that beautiful yellowish
color. Quality excellent, equal to the Niagara and
other later Grapes. It contains much sugar and can
be eaten before it is fully ripe. Vine hardy and pro¬
ductive. You will be pleased with this new Grape.
Makes a beautiful showing with Fredonia.

RED GRAPE
This is the new, quick
growing, young bearing, early
ripening, deliciously sweet, big ••
red Grape that has created
sensations in nearly all of the
/ large Grape growing centers of
the country.
As a variety for home use, leading
horticulfurists and experiment stations
claim it has no equal, and we will vouch
for this statement.
Caco has a peculiar characteristic not
found in any other variety, in that it is
so rich, melting, sugary and excellent in
flavor that it can be eaten with rare en¬
joyment fully two weeks in advance of
being fully ripe.
In appearance it is the most beautiful
of all hardy Grapes, possessing a rich
wine-red and amber coloring. The berries
are usually large; bunch large and com¬
pact.
The vines are very strong, perfectly
hardy, vigorous growers, healthy and
prolific; ripening as it does early in Sep¬
tember, the big crop is fully matured
before danger of frost.
Always in demand on all markets at
extra fancy prices. If you have a road¬
side stand, you will make money with
Coco. They will be back for more.

it's a dandy. The bunch and ber¬

soon as plants are available. It ripens

GOLDEN MUSCAT
This new hardy California Grape can now be grown in every section of the country. This variety
is the result of the cross of the Muscat Hamburg and Diamond, which are very desirable in them¬
selves. This cross makes a very hardy, heavy bearing vine, and the quality of the fruit is similar
to the white California Grape sold at all fruit markets. The berries are large, sweet and meaty,
making it a wonderful variety ta grow for home use and roadside stands. The bunches are large,
heavy, broad shouldered, and tapering. Very compact. On account of this Golden Muscat being
such a productive plant, we advise a good complete commercial fertilizer every spring, and you
will be delighted with the crop. Supply of plants still limited. We offer nice, strong, 2-year-old,
No. 1 plants. Will bear year after set. Price, $1.25 each; 2 for $2.25; 5 for $5.00.

TAYLOR Red
The berries are very large, much larger than Latham, hold up well
through a long season. It has a long conic shape and is of a bright red
color with a complete lack of crumbling, which adds materially to the
appearance and attractiveness. The firm, thick flesh and the very small
cavity make it the ideal shipping berry. Flavor is sub-acid, of the
highest quality, which is equal to Latham. Ripens the same season as
Latham and bears an enormous crop. They do not cling too tightly to
the bushes.
MARCY Aleun Red RadfbLe^if.
Marcy was the largest of all red Raspberries grown at the New York
Experiment Station, and the size holds up well throughout a long season.
The shape is long, conic, and flesh moderately firm and thick, with only
a small cavity, making the variety a good shipper. Color is medium red.
Flavor mild. Plants are tall, sturdy, vigorous, and hardy, with stalky
canes that hold the fruit well off the ground. Actual tests show that
Marcy is the biggest of all the leading varieties.
The Taylor fills a long-felt desire for a perfect Red Raspberry.

Columbian do. Plants are very vigorous and bear an unusually large
crop, much more so than one can imagine, and up to the present time
we have noted no winter injury whatsoever. Unlike our older purple
varieties of Raspberries, we find them practically 100% free from
diseases, and where Purple Raspberries are grown for commercial or
home use, fhis variety should replace the present varieties.
LOGAN lilaolz RciA/pMeAn4f>
Most Dependable Early Black Raspberry. This variety, through sheer
merit, has replaced very nearly all of the standard kinds. The berry
ripens one week earlier than Cumberland, giving the
grower a chance to make some real money before
Cumberland comes into bearing. It is an extra heavy
yielder, with berries as large or larger than Cumber¬
land.
QUILLEN
Hlach RaA^pMen/ii^
The Latest Blackcap. Comes into bearing after all
other varieties are practically through. Fruit very large
and of fully as good qualify and texture as Cumber¬
land. Practically immune to mosaic, anthracnose and
other serious diseases. This variety shows great merit
in all sections of the country, and we urge you to give
it a trial.

This is without question one of the most profitable and popular Black
Raspberries ever grown. It is the one safe and reliable commercial va¬
riety because you can depend on a big crop regularly. We call it the
"Business Blackcap" because it succeeds on all soils and produces its
big crop year after year.
We have never known Cumberland to fail, and the best proof fhat it
is a profitable variety is the fact that the demand for plants is greater
every year and more Cumberlands are planted than all other varieties
combined.
Cumberland is perfectly hardy and tremendously productive. The
berries are extra large, glossy black, and not equaled by any other
variety in quality, flavor or appearance, except Logan. Whether wanted
for market or home use, we can recommend Cumberland to our most
exacting customers. Disease-free. Twice state inspected plants.
INDIAN SUMMER
^iiLenMean4.n<^ Red Re^/pLLe^uuf,
This new Everbearing Red Raspberry will bear two
crops a year. One crop in the summer the same as
any other variety, and another crop in the fall on fhe
new wood. Commences to bear in September and will
continue till frost. The berries are very large, conical
shape, and of a beautiful bright red color. Sell for
35 cents a pint in the fall and there is some real
money to be made for the one who plants these Indian
Summer plants this spring. Plants are vigorous, hardy,
and disease free. Think of having some delicious red
Rospberries to eat and sell from September till winter.
NEWBURGH
GOLDEN QUEEN RG/if2MeAA4^
A beautiful, large, golden yellow Raspberry. Many prefer this variety
to any of the red or black sorts, owing to its sugary sweetness and unsur¬
passed flavor. Should be in every garden, its beauty and high quality
placing it at the head for table use. The canes are hardy, of strongesf
growth and very productive.
Prices: 1 -yr.. No. 1, 20c eoch; 6 for 90c; 12 for $1.50; 25 for $2.50;
50 for $4.50; 100 for $7.50. 2-yr., No. 1, bearing age, 35c each; 6
for $1.85; 12 for $3.00; 25 for $4.50.
CHIEF Red RoA^fiLe^i^
A very popular early variety. Offspring of the famous Latham. Has
proven hardy, disease resistant, a heavy cropper, of excellent quality and
a good shipper. Berries large, rich bright red. Ripens ten days earlier
than Latham, bridging the gap between Strawberries and ordinary Rasp¬
berries.
ST. REGIS
i^oe/JpeGA>Utx^ Red RcuipM^nA^
One of the most valuable of all red Everbearing Raspberries. The
habit of growth is of a bushy nature; will produce berries the first year
in the fall, and a full crop the following spring and again in fhe fall.
St. Regis resembles Chief; its fruit is similar to that variety in quality,
flavor and appearance. In Sepfember, long after Raspberries are out of
season, Sf. Regis will bear a full crop of fruit, which commonly sells for
seven or eight dollars for a 24-pint crate. If you have a market at hand
where you can dispose of the fruit, you will find St. Regis a very profit¬
able investment when grown on a commercial scale. If you have not
the time or the ground to grow St. Regis for market, be sure to plant
at least a few bushes in the garden and keep your table supplied with
all vou can use.
Alecu Red RalfiLen^
Introduced by the New York Experiment Station. The plants are heavy
and stocky, the canes do not grow quite as tall as some of the other
varieties, but carry a large load of berries. In New York stafe they have
yielded 30% more fruit than other varieties; so far Newburgh has proven
immune from mosaic, is very hardy and easy to grow.
The berries are larger than other varieties, their size holds up well
during their long picking season. The firmness and freedom from crum¬
bling make Newburgh a good long distance shipper and market variety.
The color of the berries is a lighter red than that of Latham, flavor and
quality is easily on a par with Latham.
The Raspberry Plant
Crop is Very
Short This
Year
We unhesitatingly recom¬
mend Latham as one of the
best Red Raspberries
grown. This variety originated
the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding
Farm and is being grown extensively
in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and
Canada, and has never been known to winter-kill even though exposed
to 45 degrees below zero. Latham is a tall, vigorous grower, canes extra
heavy, foliage dark green, entirely free from disease. Ripens with New¬
burgh and is enormously productive. Berries much larger than any
other Red Raspberry, many of them one inch in diameter. Color gooci,
quality of the best, full Raspberry flavor. Excellent for shipping or
home use.

LUCRETIA
liiif
The only real good Dewberry on the market which is good for
all purposes, being very productive, of extra large size, earlier
than any of the rest, will grow and thrive on very light soil and
live for many years. If you live in a locality where your ther¬
mometer registers seven degrees below zero, you can easily pre¬
vent the vines from winter-killing by laying down on the ground
and covering them with straw, which can be held in place by
just a few shovels of earth. Then in the spring they can be
taken up and tied to wires which are fastened just like a grape
trellis, but not as high, something like three feet high is about
right. Dewberries make a good addition to your blackberry list,
you will like them as well or better for all uses than the common
run of blackberries, and ripening early, you get the advantage of
higher prices; as the berry is much larger, you can pick a crate
quicker. They grow practically free from all diseases.

ALFRED
STANDS 35° BELOW ZERO
GEORGE STROMER — Originator
Year after year, with diligent care, I have propagated these plants to
such an extent that the fruit is now being supplied to the local markets
at a fancy price, and is always in good demand. Last year I measured
a good many berries that were over one and one-half inches long, and
three inches around. Nurserymen claim that the ALFRED is the largest
berry they have ever seen. Buy from the originator and get GENUINE
ALFRED.
Lack of space forbids describing in detail the many good points of
this variety; however, I wish to call your attention to the outstanding
reasons why the ALFRED is superior to all other varieties.
BEARS SECOND SEASON. ALFRED is such a healthy, vigorous grower
that it produces a good crop of berries the year following planting. It is
not unusual to pick 10 to 40 berries from the bush the same year
planted.
IMMENSE SIZE. The berries are twice as large as ordinary Black¬
berries, many of them 1 1/2 inches long, and the finest flavored of all
Blackberries. It is an ideal table berry because it is practically CORE¬
LESS, sweet and delicious. It is very small seeeded.
EXTREMELY HARDY. ALFRED can be grown anywhere without winter
protection, having withstood 30 degrees below zero, and not a single tip
of a branch injured, while other varieties were frozen to the ground.
EARLY SEASON. This is one big feature of this variety. It ripens a
week to ten days earlier than Eldorado and in productiveness it is in a
class by itself. We have seen them bear a second crop. We picked many
cases this year in September.

yke^rYOUNGBERRY
This new berry is so much different from any berry that is grown in
most parts of the country. It is a cross between the Loganberry and
Dewberry. Color of fruit is a rich wine color. Size 1 to 1 '/2 inches.
Flavor is pleasant, sweet, with the tartness of the blackberry. Excellent
for table use, canning, jellies, pies, and tor wine. The plant is a rank
grower. Withstands cold and heat, adapted to a wide range of soils, a
great producer. Try them in your locality. They will be the talk of your
neighborhood. Plants are still scarce, and a little high in price.

SWEET SEPTEMBER
(New Fall Bearing Cherry)
Ripens September first and hangs until the snow flies
The young trees start to yield some fruit the second or third
year after planting and produce heavy annual crops thereafter.
There is no previous record in the history of Horticulture of a
fall-bearing Cherry, until the accidental discovery by an amateur
horticulturist in northeastern Ohio of this sweet Cherry tree,
which for some unknown reason ripened its fruits in September
instead of June. The tree blossoms at the same time as other
standard varieties and is apparently hardier in the bud than the
average sweet Cherry. The fruits are an attractive medium
dark red similar to Windsor, the standard variety which it most
nearly resembles, and the quality is excellent for eating fresh
and for canning.
It is a remarkable fact that the original tree, which now
stands about 30 feet high and approximately the same meas¬
urement across, has produced a crop year after year, even as
high as 15 bushels as it did in 1932, with practically all fruits
sound and perfect in every way — no worms, rot or leaf spot —
without ever having been sprayed.
Here is a fruit that every home owner should have in his door-
yard to extend the season for sweet Cherries through the late
summer and autumn.

orange with blazing red blushes. Strikingly beautiful, and richly

This new, better, and extra hardy, large red Currant comes
from Minnesota. This really is the last word in Currants, and
you will want a few plants of them even if you have plenty of
them now. The large long clusters of juicy bright red berries
make up into a beautiful bright red jelly. On account of the
heavy bearing qualities Red Lake is the best commercial variety.
Ships well, and holds up well. Plants are vigorous growers.

Strange as it may seem, this is a real creamy white Black¬
berry. Mixed with the jet black ones for dessert, it makes a
most wonderful dish. The fruit is about the size of Alfred, with
few seeds and quite sweet when fully ripe. The bushes are good,
strong growers and very productive. This is not a worthless
novelty, but a fruit of real value, and should be in every garden.

FLOWERING CRAB
The following varielies of flowering Crabs are very valuable, as they
produce attractive flowers and fruit which will attract the bees and
birds. Where Cedar trees are plentiful, do not plant the Bechtel variety.
BECHTEL. A beautiful, fragrant, double, pink-flowering Crab. Blooms in
May and June. Not much fruit. Attains height of 12 to 15 feet.
PARKMANI. A bright rosy red fragrant double flower. Blooms April
and May. Height 18 to 20 feet.
ALDENHEIMENSIS. A smooth reddish bronze, foliage buds crimson-pink
opening to brighter vinous red. Semi-double flowers. Fruit deep reddish
purple. Height 15 feet. April-May.
BEAUTY. A fine pink-flowering Crab, blooming in April, and followed by
an abundance of cherry-red fruit. 25 to 30 feet.
HOPA. A beautiful upright growing tree with attractive foliage. Entirely
covered with rose colored flowers in April. The fruit is scarlet-red
inside and out, and hangs on the tree till late in the fall. One of
the best, we believe. 20 to 25 feet.
SARGENT CRAB. A spreading Japanese variety. Pure white flowers with
/ellow anthers. Scarlet fruit hangs till spring. 4 to 6 feet.

This marvelous new Peach was introduced through the efforts
of the Michigan State Experiment Station, South Haven, Michi¬
gan (Mr. Stanley Johnson, Supt.). It is a cross between the
famous varieties South Haven and J. H. Hale. A large, beauti¬
fully colored, yellow-fleshed Peach, ripening approximately 2
weeks before Elberta. A perfect freestone, strong, thrifty grower,
splendid shipper and an extremely hardy, heavy bearer of ex¬
ceptionally fine flavor. The Hale-Haven has extremely high
color and colors highly on the trees several days before it is ripe,
thereby permitting picking while rather green, for distant ship¬
ments. Test trees produced full crops this year at the Experi¬
ment Station when crops of many other standard varieties were
a failure due to low temperatures last winter. This variety will
make you big money and should be included in every planting.

FERTILE HALE
CHAMPION
This new introduction was brought about by the Greening Nursery Co.
It has been produced by bud selection and has been found to need no
other variety to help pollenize it like J. H. Hale does. These Fertile Hale
will produce full crops of beautiful Hales even more beautiful than the
J. H. Hale. The Fertile Hale is far more hardy and productive in bud
than the common J. H. Hale. At the experiment station in South Haven,
Michigan, Fertile Hale came through with a crop when J. H. Hale and
Elberta failed. Flesh yellow, with yellow skin with deep carmine blush.
Good shipper. Freestone. Will bring the highest price on any market.
Fertile Hale, like South Haven, are real money makers on account of
their hardiness and fine quality. They are the two commerical Peaches
to grow for profit and pleasure. Fertile Hale has a plant patent applied
for. Our trees are the genuine.

Profitable APPLE TREES
/\/eia and Old — 32.
New ANOKA
Ripens in September. The size, color and flavor of the New
Anoka make it a favorite. Also a good keeper. The remark¬
able feature of this excellent Apple is that it comes into bear¬
ing very young, is also dwarf in stature, so that it is well adapted
to back-yard planting or closer in the orchard. A very good
cooking Apple.
New CORTLAND
The young bearing habit of this fine new fall Apple has
astonished growers everywhere. It has proven to be one of the
greatest eating, shipping, and market Apples ever introduced.
The trees are large, healthy, and immensely productive. Fruit
large and handsome. Flesh fine grained, crisp, and juicy.
DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS
This variety is like Delicious in every respect excepting that
it has added color. As the name implies this is a solid red,
highly colored Delicious. It is recommended especially for loca¬
tions where Delicious does not have sufficient color. The tree
is hardy, healthy, vigorous and bears regular annual crops.
Flesh is fine grained, crisp, melting and juicy. Quality is very
good and the season is November to March. Delicious is a
wonderful eating Apple.
New HARALSON ( For Cold Country)
This new variety stands in a class by itself on account of its
hardiness. It is the coming Apple for the cold Northwest.
Comes into bearing very early in life, and is a vigorous grower.
Fruit is good size, red and long keeping. Very good eating
Apple. If you ore looking for an Apple that will bear where it
gets 40 degrees below zero, order Haralson.
JONATHAN
The color of the fruit is bright red, the flesh is white, firm,
crisp, tender and juicy. It is a very beautiful Apple, and one of
the very best eating Apples. Not such a good cooker. It is one
of the most desirable varieties for the holiday season. Good
keeper. Trees are hardy and bear very young.
MclNTOSH
Medium in size. Fruit is beautiful red, somewhat striped.
Flesh is white, crisp, and highly flavored. The tree is hardy and
vigorous, and starts to bear young, and heavily. It is a favorite
market and eating Apple. Ripens in September and October.
Not a keeper.
NORTHERN SPY (Farley No. 9)
A strong, vigorous tree, early bearing, heavy annual produc¬
tion, large size in fruit and an attractive typical striped color
type. This parent tree produced a full crop of nearly 12 bushels
when only 9 years old and a total of 141 bushels by the end of
the sixteenth season. The fact that this tree produced 1 2
bushels when only 9 years old, shows that it must have come
into bearing at not more thon 6 years after planting. The fruit
is large and extremely attractive. Color, bright red with in¬
distinct stripings. Flesh, very juicy, crisp and tender and most
excellent for either dessert or culinary uses. Season, November
to March.
ROME BEAUTY
Beautiful dark red apple of large size and handsome shape.
Retains its rich color and 'uiciness in storage until spring. Pop¬
ular for dessert purposes, cooking and drying. One of the best.
SNOW (Fameuse)
Well known early winter Apple. Snow-white flesh, from
which it takes its name. Medium size. Deep crimson in color.
Juicy and very pleasant to eat out of hand. Fills in the gap
between early fall Apples and late winter Apples. Tree very
hardy and productive. November to December.
STAYM AN'S WIN ESAP
Succeeds everywhere. Fruit is dark red, tinged yellow, of rich,
enticing flavor. A fine eating Apple and sells readily on the
market.
TURLEY (Turley Winesap) (Coffing Bros.)
The Turley is gradually winning its way solely on its merits.
The variety originated in Indiana and is much esteemed by the
growers of that state as a commercial Apple. The tree is vigor¬
ous and bears fruit early, in 5 or 6 years from date of planting.
The fruit is very red and inclined to be large. Season just before
Stayman's Winesap.
WEALTHY
Fruit is large size, round, smooth, and dark red. The flesh
is white, tender, and juicy. This is the finest variety of its sea¬
son. It ripens in September and will keep well into the late fall.
A very good commercial variety.
YELLOW TRANSPARENT
The very finest extra early Apple. It ripens late in July and
continues in season until September. Fruit of good size, waxy
yellow color. Flesh white, mild, juicy, and sweet.

ing roses. The climate is just right, and they ripen up in plenty of time to
become dorrnant before winter. No other place in America does such a perfect
condition exist. Our roses will reach you in perfect growing condition. Our
plants will be shipped to you from New Buffalo, Michigan. If our prices seem
a little higher, remember we cannot compete with the cheaper southern grown
roses. Our roses are grown 2 years in this nature's rose Eden, before we ship
them to you at reasonable prices. In roses you get what you pay for. Think it
over and give our roses a trial this spring.

PROTECT YOUR YOUNG FRUIT AND SHADE TREES
from Sun-Scald, Mice, Rabbits, Borers and Many Injurious Insects
i
Girdling the trunks of transplanted and newly planted fruit and shade trees has been practiced by
U. S. Agricultural Colleges — Soil Conservation Service — State and County Highway Commissions —
State College Extension Service — Landscape Architects — Park Executives, and Foresters for a number
of years.
The use of Crinkled Duplex Waterproof Kraft is advocated as a thoroughly tried and proved pro¬
cedure of wrapping tree trunks to provide protection against sun-scald, borer attacks, and the
ravages of rabbits and field mice.
It is an established fact that rodents will not molest anything containing asphaltum.
The successful planting of trees has been done on a larger scale in recent years than ever before,
due to the scientific handling and proper preservation of their trunks.
Danger resulting from sun-scald to thin bark trees when transplanted is frequently serious if the
trunks of the trees are not completely covered. The op>en wounds offer places for insects to deposit
their eggs.
Waterproof Kraft Spiral Wrap not only provides protection
against sun scald, but prevents adult boring insects from lay¬
ing their eggs any place on the bark.
Provides security against frost and cold and protection
against the ravages of rabbits and field mice.
Rolls are 4 in. wide, about 155 lineal ft. 8 in. diameter,
and weighs about 2'/2 pounds. Price per roll, 70e; 5 rolls,
$3.00; 12 rolls, $6.00. One roll will do about 30 small trees.

SOILMASTER
Soilmaster is a decomposed, concentrated leaf-mold
and decayed vegetation. This is the humus to use on
lawns, around shrubs and in your garden. Holds seven
times its weight in moisture, and is a good fertilizer.
Rejuvenates gardens, lawns, shrubbery and trees; is a
natural plant food, a natural soil builder; far superior
to stable manure, has the same fertilizing value, is clean,
odorless and does not burn; and can be applied
time and anywhere. Is ideal for the farm home, garden
or suburban home. Requires less water after application
than other fertilizer as it holds moisture for an indefinite
period. Makes the soil mellow and prevents baking.
Soilmaster goes farther, lasts longer and is more econom¬
ical- two-bushel bag, which is approximately 100 pounds
is enough for 100 square feet of lawn or 8 good sized
shrubs or ornamentals. You are assured of a three
year's growth in two year's time by using this humus.
Note testimonials.
SODUS ACID HUMUS
Sodus Humus will hold moisture and has the same fertilizer value as Sqilrnaster
— the only difference between the two is that one is sour and the
We recommend this Humus for Evergreens, Rhododendrons and Blueberries, or any
shrub or ornamental that requires an acid soil.

Gentlemen; Kent, Ohio.
As a result of our many years spent in the care of
thousands of fine trees, we know that lawn trees
must be supplied with artificial food, more especially
with humus.
After vigorous tests and use extending over a
period of 4 years, we are glad to say that Soilmaster
has proven itself to be an ideal form of humus.
Results following its use have been uniformly satis¬
factory and at times quite amazing.
We therefore take pleasure in recommending the
use of Soilmaster. Inasmuch as it is taken from the
natural soil deposit, there seems to be no danger of
overfeeding or burning in its generous use.
Sincerely yours.

Gentlemen: After using your material at four of
our stations, where we usually have difficulty in
securing a good lawn, we take pleasure in recom¬
mending Soilmaster for either sandy or clay soil.
It not only holds the moisture but feeds the lawn
throughout the season. Sincerely yours,
F. F. FOWLER, Agent, Benton Harbor.
