138 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N. Y. CHOICE AND RARE FRUITS. The Fruit Garden is an indispensable part of any rural home. It is a delight, a satisfaction, a convenience, a nrofit and a source of the most bountiful and delicious food supply any family can have. Beginning with the Strawberry in May, the supply is never exhausted until the last winter apples ate used in May or June.

New Everbearing Raspberry, St Regis. Fruits Freely for Four Months. The merits of this reliable, everbearing raspberry may be summarized as follows: It is one of tbe earliest of ail red raspberries; beginning to ripen in June just as the strawberry crop is waning. It is wonderfully prolific: the first or main crop being far greater than that of any other red variety known. It gives a crop of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in generous quantities until late in August- By this date, berries besin to ripen up on the young, i. e., current year's canes, which continue to produce berries in increasing numbers until late autumn. These berries are a bright crimson, of large size and sur- passing quality, rich, suggary with full raspberry flavor. As a shipper it is unexcelled. The canes are of stocky, strong growth with a great abundance of dark green leathery leaves, that never scald nor sunburn. It succeeds upon all soils, whether light and sandy or cold heavy clay. St. Regis is of pure American blood and of iron-clad hardiness; the canes endure severest cold uninjured and are wonderfully prolific. All things considered this is on*1 of the very greatest fruit novelties of our generation. V nlike other so-called Everbearing Raspberries, which fruit only in early summer, and a little in late fall when weather conditions are favorable, St. Regis is a perpetual bearer at all times and under all conditions. Price of strong plants, 20c. each; 3 for 50c; 7 for$1.00; 15 for $2.00, or 100 for $10-00. Two Great New Raspberry. Early Surprise—This ripens weeks ahead of every other Raspberry. It might almost be called a spring fruiting sort. Berries in clusters on every branch from ground to tip. Its fruiting period covers nearly two months, hence doubly valuable for both market and the home The King—Berries large, brilliant red and very beautiful. Strong, sturdy grower and a great cropper. It ripens its enormous crop very quickly and is fine for market as the berries hold their brilliant color a long time. Best garden variety for general cultivation.
