EBONY KING 
(6201) 
The sensational new, heavy-bearing blackberry that is 
proving superior because of its ability to bear con- 
sistent heavy crops. Also contributing to the popularity 
of this fine variety is the fact that non-bearing plants 
are easily distinguished and may be removed from the 
planting when necessary. Berries are large, glossy black, 
with very high dessert quality. Fruit is suitable for 
processing, home use, and for fresh fruit markets. Fruit 
ripens early. Plants are thrifty and hardy. 
DARROW 
(6202) 
This is the finest of all new blackberries. Darrow pro- 
duces very large crops of delicious, firm berries. These 
luscious berries measure about 1 inch long and as much 
as | inch wide. Plants are vigorous, ver3 r winter hardy, 
and produce well at an early age. Try some! 
✓ LAVACA BERRY 2 
A seedling of the boysenberry, resembling its parent 
most but having higher production, larger berries, and 
more resistance to cold and disease. The berries are 
firmer, less acid, and of higher general quality. It is 
superior for freezing. We feel it to be a handsome addi- 
tion to your small fruits planting.

New— THORNFREE 
A fine new thomless blackberry from the 
U.S.DA. that is hardy in all but the most 
northern areas of the United States. Fruits of 
Thornfree ripen about three weeks later than 
Eldorado and about one week earlier than 
Smoothstem. Fruits are medium-large, glossy, 
firm, blunt, and good. Canes are not so vigorous 
as Smoothstem, generally trailing the first year 
ter planting, but semiupright thereafter. 
New— SMOOTHSTEM 
(6204) 
A completely thomless companion variety to 
Thornfree that was originated by the U.S.D.A. 
The canes are vigorous, productive, and hardy to 
central Ohio. Fruits ripen about one month after 
Eldorado. They are large, firm, blunt, jet black 
and of good flavor. Plants of Smoothstem and 
Thornfree do not sucker. 
✓ BOYSENBERRY " 5 
A giant of the blackberry type. More flavorful than 
the blackberry and can be picked over a longer period 
of time. Yields are extremely high. The plant is a 
vigorous grower and should not be planted closer than 
6 feet apart. It seems to do much better when trained 
on wires similar to grapes. Plants are especially re- 
sistant to disease and drought. Try them this year. 
y THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY (6216) 
Has the same characteristics as the boysenberry ex- 
cept for the fact that the vines are THORNLESS. Can 
be easily handled at all times without gloves.
