lsoils, whether light and sandy or cold heavy clay. St.Regis is of pure American blood and iron-clad hardiness;the canes endure severest cold uninjured and are wonder-fully prolific. St. Regis is a perpetual bearer at all timesand under all conditions. 4 for 50c; 12 for $1.00; 100 for$7.00. New Blackberry Bigearly A most remarkable new berry on account of its ex-treme earliness and great size. Berries four times larger thanEarly Harvest and two weeks earlier. It is, in fact, oneof the very largest berries grown and ten days earlier thanany Dewberry. It often ripens ahead of Raspberries andsometimes before Strawberries have gone. Flavor extrafine, none better and enormously productive. Claimed toout-yield Blowers or any other Blackberry known. Re-mains in bearing about four weeks. We are convinced thatBigearly is one of the greatest new fruits ever introduced.To get it well introduced we are offering fine plants at:3 for 50c; 12 for $1.75. 46 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, INC., FLORAL PARK, N.

I regard it as the mostbeautiful Strawberry I have ever seen. Blossoms appea
