BLACKBERRIES 



EBONY KING 



The sensational new, heavy bearing blackberry that is 

 proving superior becaiise of its ability to bear consistent 

 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. 



THE EBONY KING BLACKBERRY 



BOYSENBERRY 



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 six feet 

 apart and seems to do much better when trained on wires 

 similar to grapes. Plants are especially resistant to disease 

 and drought. Try them this year. 



THORNLESS BOYSENBERRY 



Has the same characteristics as the Boysenberry except 

 for the fact that the vines are THORNLESS. Can be easi- 

 ly handled at all times without glo\'es. 



LAVACA BERRY 



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 higher general quality. It is superior for 

 freezing. We feel it to be a handsome addition to your 

 small fruits planting.
