Blackberries 



Blackberries are among- the best known and most 

 valued of our berries. No fruit of any kind is more 

 wholesome. A liberal use of berries and other good 

 fruits will save doctor bills. Blackberries should be 

 planted in rows 6 to 7 feet apart, 3 to 4 feet in the 

 row. Keep the ground light, rich and clean, and 

 pinch the canes back when they have reached 4 feet 

 in height. 



Prices, Strong, Well-Rooted Plants, All Varieties: 

 $1.50 per 25; $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 1,000. 



BLOWERS. Large size, jet black, good shipper, best 

 quality and unexcelled productiveness are the main 

 characteristics of this splendid new sort. 



ELDORADO. Vine is vigorous and hardy; berries are 

 very large, black, borne in clusters; ripens well 

 together; sweet, melting and pleasant to the taste. 



Strawberries 



CULTURE OP STRAWBERRIES 



The ground should be prepared the same as for the 

 other crops; if not already rich, make it so by 

 manuring. Mark out the rows the desired width and 

 set plants 12 to 17 inches in rows; if set 12 inches 

 in rows, 4 feet apart, an acre will require 10,890 

 plants — same as if 16 inches in rows 3 feet apart. 

 Keep in rows and cultivate. A new bed should be 

 planted every two or three years. 



PRICES STANDARD ONE-CROP VARIETIES 



All Varieties, Pine Well-Rooted Plants: 

 25 for 75c; $1.50 per 100; $5 per 500; $8 per 1,000. 

 Write for Prices on Lots of 5,000 and More. 

 Because of the extremely dry season this past year 

 the supply of strawberry plants is limited every- 

 where. Order early so you will not be disappointed. 



Dewberries 



The Dewberry is a dwarf and trail- 

 ing form of the Blackberry. The 

 fruit is highly prized as a market 

 fruit owing to its large size and fine 

 quality. Set the plants 2 feet apart 

 in the row and cover in winter with 

 coarse litter. Should be mulched in 

 the spring to keep them off ground.

EARY VARIETIES 



PREMIER or HOWARD No. 17. The very best of 

 all extra-early varieties. Berries are large, beau- 

 tifully formed, bright red through and through. 

 It is delicious in flavor and a splendid shipper. 

 We have fruited it for years and consider it the 

 money-making king of all the early varieties. It 

 produces a very heavy crop and you should plant 

 heavily, whether growing for home use, local mar- 

 ket or distant shipment. 



KLONDIKE. Large; red; flesh firm; red to the core, 

 with a mild and delicious flavor, unlike any other 

 variety. It is very popular with southern growers 

 who ship. Plant tall, compact, vigorous grower; 

 resists frost well and yields good crops. Perfect. 



MID-SEASON VARIETIES 



AROMA. Perfect. By all means plant Aroma. It is 

 the standard late variety that brings big profits to 

 growers everywhere as it thrives in any climate, 

 the heavy, dark green foliage making it disease- 

 resisting to a remarkable degree. Aroma is a 

 steady producer of big, round, deep red, glossy ber- 

 ries of excellent eating quality. 



SENATOR DUNLAF. This berry is the 

 Warfield type, has a perfect blossom, 

 is hardy, productive, a splendid keeper 

 and able to hold its own under any 

 "rough and tumble" methods of cul- 

 ture to which it is likely to be sub- 

 jected. It is a very heavy bearer. 



MISSIONARY (Per.). The originator 

 describes it as follows: "Large size, 

 beautiful color; large double calyx, 

 like Gandy; immensely productive. 

 Very rich' and best quality; best 

 shipper.
