THE LAWTON BLACZBEREY 



IS unique, and not, as some have been led to believe, the coiB- 

 mon "NEW ROCHELLE BLACKBERRY," im2)rwed by 

 ciUtivaiion. It differs in shape, size and quality from all others. 

 Is perfectly hardy, enduring the severest winters without protee-- 

 tion. The fruit is delicious, haviii"; small seeds in proportion to^ 

 its size ; is a prodigious bearer, and in any good farming mil, the 

 stalk, leaf, flower and fruit, will grow of mammoth proportions. 



For the convenience of Clubs, and those who take orders for 

 plants, they will be safely packed in boxes, put up in clusters of 

 one dozen, without charge for package, at the following rates: — 

 A box of 1 doxen, $2 ; a box of 3 dozen, $5 ; a box of S dozen, 

 .*10. To prevent imposition, which has been most extensively 

 practiced, every package zt'iW he marked and branded, and pur- 

 chasers from the undersigned wilt thus seeure the genuine varie- 

 ty, without admixture, and may enjoy this delicious fruit the 

 second summer in perfection. The money should accompany the 

 order, with name and address distinctly written. N. B. — No 

 itinerant plant sellers or traveling agents are employed to sell the 

 plants from my grounds. Address—
