A few acres of our nursery are devoted to the 
clean cultivation of broadleaved evergreens 
and Azaleas. We believe we have the farthest 
north cultivated field of this size. 

Our broadleaved evergreens are grown in full 
sun so they will not lose their leaves when 
transplanted to your home. Plants from the 
South or those grown under shade often lose 
most of their foliage when set in sunny loca- 
tions. You will avoid this trouble by securing 
our hardy Vermont grown plants.

PEAR TREES 


When you plant Pears bear in mind that 
they will fruit better if two or more varieties 
are planted together. Such varieties as Bart- 
lett and Sheldon should never be planted 
alone. Also do not expect to buy Sheldon or 
Bose in dwarf stock, as these varieties do not 
unite with the Quince root on which other 
varieties are grafted to make dwarf trees.

RASPBERRY PLANTS 


Not only are Raspberries one of the most 
delicious of all fruits for home use, but they 
are also one of the safest to plant commer- 
cially. In our twenty years of growing Rasp- 
berries there has never been a time but what 
all we produced could be sold. 

Plant on good, well-drained soil, on a slope, 
if possible, and cultivate freely. Fertilize with 
chemicals and wood ashes rather than manure. 
Of the red varieties about 2400 to 3000 plants 
per acre are required, planted 21% to 3 ft. 
apart in rows 6 ft. apart. The black and pur- 
ple varieties, planted 3 ft. apart in rows 7 ft. 
apart, take about 2000 plants per acre. 
Columbian (Purple). This is the standard 
purple raspberry. Makes no sucker plants but 
roots from the tips. With good conditions ex- 
tremely heavy yields are obtained. Splendid 
for canning. $1.00 per 12, $1.50 per 25, 
$4.00 per 100, $30.00 per 1000. 

Latham (Red). The leading commercial va- 
riety of the country. Erect canes, very hardy, 
a heavy yielder, a good shipper. Fair quality. 
75e per 12, $1.25 per 25, $3.50 per 100, $30.00 
per LOOO. 

Newburgh (Red). This has proven itself to 
be one of the heaviest yielding and the har- 
diest of all raspberries. No injury was ap- 
parent after the winter of 1933-34. Newburgh 
bears very heavy crops of immense berries, 
ripening in mid-season. Fruit is of good 
quality and very firm, making it the best 
shipping raspberry. Newburgh is very re- 
sistant to disease. The canes are medium 
height. $1.50 per 25, $4.00 per 100, $30.00 
per LOOO. 


Plum Farmer (Black). One of the finest 
black-cap raspberries ripening early in the 
season. Tip plants 75e per 12, $1.25 per 25, 
$3.50 per 100, $25.00 per 1000.

raspberry. Plants are vigorous, hardy and 
productive but it is more subject to mosaic 
than Newburgh. The berries ripen shortly 
before Latham. $2.00 per 25, $5.00 per 100, 
$40.00 per 1000. 


BLACKBERRY PLANTS 


Culture same as for Raspberries. Avoid

market. Upright grower. Fruit large, and of 
good quality if allowed to ripen fully on the 
bushes. 75c per 10, $1.25 per 25, $4.00 per 100, 
$30.00 per 1000.

size. Dwarf bush not over 4% ft. when fully 
grown.

CURRANTS 


Currants and Gooseberries like rich soil and 
plenty of fertilizer. They usually bear the 
year after planting and are commercially

Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and 
Connecticut prohibit their being planted in 
certain towns.

clusters of large berries. Red. 30c¢ each, $2.50 
per 10, $22.00 per 100.

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 


A good bed of strawberries will reduce the 
living expenses tremendously. They should 
be planted on rich soil that has been plowed a 
year previous. Do not fertilize with wood 
ashes or any material containing lime. Most 
varieties are planted 18 inches apart in rows 
4 ft. apart. 

Everbearing kinds produce more berries if 
planted in hills and not allowed to make 
plants. 


Howard 17. The old standby, still planted

commercial value yielding immense crops of

POTGROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS 


Many people think that best results are 
obtained by planting potgrown Strawberry 
plants in August and September, as these 
plants will bear a fairly good crop the follow- 
ing season. We will have available for de- 
livery in August and September, 1940, pot- 
grown plants of leading varieties. Write us 
for varieties and prices.
