St. Regis Everbearing seedlings of Latham. It is immensely product- ive, even surpassing Latham in that respect; the berries are of good size and excellent quality and the bushes are absolutely hardy and resistant to disease. We consider Chief the most outstanding Red Raspberry that has been produced in years and believe these two, Chief and Latham, will make more mon- ey for fruit growers than any other two they can grow, combining as they do, a long fruiting season, extra heavy yield and fruit of such size, color and quality as to com- mand top prices at all times. Our supply of Chief is quite limited. Price: 5c each; 50c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1,000. Benton County Nursery Co., Rogers, Arkansas. Gentlemen:— It is human nature when anyone has done anything commendable to like being patted on the back, so I am writing this to serve you as a pat. I received the stock Monday in fine shape, and I have never seen finer roots on Strawberry plants in my life. The grape vines and raspberry plants were fine, and I am well pleased. I sent your catalog to Mrs. Chas. Stewart of Oswego, Kans., and she received a small order from you and she thinks the same as I do. I will probably have a small order this fall and if I do you will get it. O. W. Bailey, 1222 E. Walnut, Columbus, Kansas.
