SMALL FRUIT PLANTS. 



BLACKBERRIES. 



Ancient Briton — The best and most profitable variety grown. It is en- 

 ormously productive, extremely vigorous and fairly hardy; berries 

 very large and lucious. 



Rathbun — A superior variety, in quality in a class by itself. The berries 

 are large, jet black, very glossy and permanent, never turning red, 

 have small seeds and no hard core, and their flavor is delicious. It 

 forms a compact bush, four to five feet high, with canes much less 

 thorny than other varieties. The fruit ripens early and carries well 

 to market. 



Snyder — Early, hardy and productive. The leading variety where 

 hardiness is demanded. Price, each 10c; per doz. $1.00; per 100... $2. 50 



HIMALAYA GIANT BERRY. 



Classed by culturists among the Blackberries but in reality a Rasp- 

 berry-Blackberry. The canes are like those of the Raspberry and the 

 fruit is black, resembling mammoth Blackberries in appearance. The 

 berries are of great size and under favorable conditions the plants grow 

 to a great height. Note the comparative height of the woman in the 

 cut. It is claimed by the introducer of this prodigy that growths of 

 twenty to thirty feet in a year are not uncommon and the canes do not 

 die back to the root after fruiting but continue to bear fruit on the 

 same wood from year to year. The fruit is produced in enormous 

 clusters all summer and the total product is much in excess of that of 

 any other known berry. They are rich and sweet in flavor and liter- 

 ally melt in the mouth.
