PERFECTION CURRANT Currants (Concluded) PERFECTION Equally satisfactory in various soils and sec- tions. A strong grower, it is naturally very pro- lific. Ripens in mid-season and the berries re- main in good condition for a long time. The berries are of large size, being clear, bright, sparkling red and with juice of highest quality. 1 year old, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 2 years old, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. Fay's Prolific—Bunch and berry large, bright and sparkling. A regular and prolific bearer. Pres. Wilder—Produces, late in the season, very large bright red, juicy berries of high quality. Red Cross—Exceptionally vigorous growth. Bears great crops of good sized, sparkling red berries. White Grape—By far the best of the white fruited sorts. It is a beautiful translucent white and of mild, good quality. 1 year old, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00; 2 years old, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. Other Berries Useful for Dessert and Preserving Plants will be shipped by mail, provided cash IS sent for postage as per table on inside back cover. LOGANBERRIES This most interesting hybrid is the result of crossing a wild California Blackberry with a Raspberry, probably the old Red Antwerp. The berries are of great size, equalling large Blackber- ries, and are deep reddish-maroon in color. In flavor, they are rich and refreshing. Dozen, $4.00; 100, $25.00. Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, $35.00. GOOSEBERRIES Oregon Champion—Entirely distinct from all others in foliage and habit of growth. It is of slender, willowy growth—not a very strong grow- er. The berries when fully ripe are pale amber, of excellent quality and of good size. 1 year, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, $7.50. Carrie—It is a marvel of productiveness, a splen- did, strong grower and one that holds its foli- age much later in the season that do most others. When ripe, it is maroon in color and of good quality, though rather small. 1 year, each, 30c; dozen, $3.00. 2 years, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. Downing—The most popular market variety. The pale green berries are of large size and fair quality. 1 year, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. STRAWBERRY- RASPBERRY Another delightful, everbearing cane-fruit for which we are indebted to the Orient. Where the seasons are very cold, it acts like a herbaceous perennial, plants freezing to the ground and coming up again the following spring. They are too tart to be eaten raw but, combined and cooked with Raspberries, they develop a flavor certain to delight any epicure. Strong plants, dozen, $2.50. WINEBERRY This interesting native of the wilds of Asia forms a most welcome addition to our fruit gardens. The berries are exceptionally useful in making a delightful wine as well as most palatable preserves. Rather acid as a dessert fruit unless quite ripe. Heavy plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. Strawberries How to Enjoy Abundant Crops of Fine Big STRAWBERRIES BECAUSE of their extreme popularity and desirability, it is gratifying to know that Strawberries will grow in any climate and thrive in most any soil, providing reasonable at- tention is given to their slight needs. Soil that is low and sour is about the only exception that must be noted. By careful selection of the va- rieties best suited to your soil and climate, and the inclusion of Everbearers you can be assured of delicious berries for your own consumption. or commercial uses, from early June until late frosts. Within the limitations of the home garden it pays well to take particular pains in the pre- paration of the soil. The beds should be dug or plowed deeply and liberal quantities of well- rotted manure should be incorporated. Particular care should be exercised to have the surface rich, mellow and well provided with plant food, for the Strawberry plant is a heavy but shallow sur- 58
