NEW VARIETY OF
RASPBERRY
STATE NURSERY g. SEED CON-
PANY OFFERS NEW VARIETY TO
HOME GARDENERS

The Thousand Dollar raspberry is
the prosperous sounding nam by
which the State Nursery and Seed
company designates the new variety
of this plant which it announces for
the first time, this season, and offers
to the home gardeners of the state.
The berries, large, firm, luscious, and
purplish red in color, have been cul-
tivated for several years in western
Montana in a commercial way for mar
ket, but have never before been made
available for paintings in the smaller
home gardens. Hardy, heavy bearing
plant, growing upright without use of
supports, and of medium early matur-
ing, it is featured by the State Nursery
and Seed company among the offerings
in this field, and is chosen among the
more priced products for color repro
duction in their new year book. Known
as the king of all jam makers, the rec
ipe for the famous Seven-Minute jam
is included on the page given to berry
listings.
In their listings of Strawberries this
year, the State Nursery gives prominent
place to the Progressive. fine everbear-
ing plant. which through recent efforts
in rigid selection, has been bred to such
an improved strain as to be almost a
new variety.
Raspberries, strawberries, and black
berries, in limited, carefully selected
varieties, make up the Nursery's Offer
ings for the home berry patch, and
there is scarcely a location in the entire
state where these berries cannot be
successfully grown, according to Will
liam J. Mills, of the State Nursery and
Seed company staff. Nothing more
