BAILEY 



^HEDRICK 



Also a New York State Introduction of recent years wliicli 

 is highly promising. The plants are vigorous, productive 

 and hardy. The berries are somewhat larger than the Eldo- 

 rado, moderately firm, without core, subacid, and of good 

 quality. Ripens in early August about one week later than 

 Hedrick. Seems to be the most promising introduction of 

 recent years for commercial production. 



EBONY KING 



The sensational new, heavy bearing blackberry that is 

 proving superior to the older varieties because of its ability 

 to bear consistent heavy crops. Also contributing to the 

 popularity of this new 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 proces- 

 sing, home use, and for fresh fruit markets. Fruit ripens 

 early. Plants are thrifty and hardy. Plant Ebony King and 

 get in the blackberry business this year.

BOYSEN BERRY 



A giant of the blackberry type. More flavorful tlian the 

 l)lackberry and can be picked over a longer period of time. 

 Yields are extremely high giving as much as 20 baskets of 

 lierries the second year after planting. The plant is a vig- 

 orous 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. 



N LAVACA BERRY 



A wonderful new seedling of the Boysenberry found near 

 Lavaca, Arkansas, resembling its parent most but having 

 higher production, larger berries, and more resistance to C"ld 

 and disease. The berries are firmer than the Boysenberry, 

 less acid, and higher general quality. Also superior for 

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

 small fruits planting. 



DEWBERRIES 



Introduced by the 2s'ew Y'ork State Fruit Testing Coopera- 

 tive as a promising new blackberry warranting extensive 

 trial for home and market use. Plants are vigorous, pro- 

 ductive and hardy. The berries are large, medium firm with 

 no core. The flavor is subacid. Ripens in late .July.

 handled at all times without gloves.

 as well as the Boysenberry as they are almost identical in 

 size and general structure, the LAVACA berry being- slight- 

 I.V larger and much firmer, and reportedly more hardy and 

 heavier producer.
