Blackberries. 



HOW THEY ARE GROWN. 



The Blackberries we offer are all strong Root 

 Cutting plants which are vastly superior to the 

 "sucker plants" so largely sold. The varieties 

 offered are the very best on the market. For gar- 

 den culture Blackberries should be planted in rows 

 five feet apart with three feet between the plants 

 in the rows. If wanted by mail, postage must be added 

 at the rate of 10c. per doz. 



LOVETT' S BEST. A thoroughly reliable Black- 

 berry of large size, with a cane of ironclad hardi- 

 ness. Unites not only these two invaluable 

 properties in an eminent degree, but possesses 

 in addition the merits of ripening early, great 

 productiveness, entire freedom from disease, and 

 double or rose blossom, strong, vigorous growth 

 of cane, extra high quality, jet-black permanent 

 color and fine appearance. (See cut.) Price, 

 75c. per doz., $5.00 per 100. 

 Wilson Junior. Takes the place of the old "Wil- 

 son's Early ; it possesses all its good qualities 

 and is hardier and more productive, combining 

 size, earliness and productiveness with the fine 

 appearance and market properties of that vari- 

 ety. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 

 ERIE. The most popular of all the standard Blackberries. 

 The canes are of ironclad hardiness, of the strongest 

 growth, free from rust, double blossom and> all other 

 diseases, and wonderfully productive, bending the robust cane to the ground with the weight of fruit. 

 The berry is of the very largest size, of excellent quality, handsome and firm. Early. 50c. per doz., 

 $4.00 per 100. 

 Early Harvest. The earliest Blackberry except Early King. The berries are not of the largest size, but 

 very uniform and of a bright glossy blackness that renders them extremely enticing. For the South its 

 value can scarcely be overestimated, and its early ripening brings it into market at a time when it has no 

 competitors. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 

 Kittatinny. Once the most popular of all Blackberries for general planting and very fine for main crop. The 

 berries are large, handsome and of delicious flavor; canes of strong, erect growth and productive. Season 

 medium to late. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 

 Snyder. Valuable for the North by reason of its extreme hardiness. "Wonderfully productive, and though the 

 berries are,but small to medium in size, they are of sweet, juicy flavor. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 

 DEWBERRY*, Lucretia (or Creeping Blackberry), conceded to be the finest of its class, as early as Early Harvest and 

 as large as the Erie Blackberry. The quality is superb, juicy and melting. Set the plants in rows 6 feet apart, and 

 3 feet between the plants in the rows. Keep the soil mellow and clean at all times. Price, 50c. per doz. , $3.00 per 100.
