=y= HE SAME high standard that we have set for our straw- 
berry plants is duplicated in our blackberry plants, 
/ which transplant very easily and produce larger canes 
and superior fruit than the average nursery grown plants. They are 
grown from strong root cuttings, because we know that this method 
of propagating is far superior to sucker plants, making a much more 
fibrous rooted plant than sucker plants and grow off much quicker 
after setting. During the first year, the varieties listed on this page 
grow mostly on the ground, but after the first crop, grow upright, 
standing in bunches, obtaining a height of 4 to 6 feet. One planting 
will last you several years, and while we sell several hundred thou- 
sand plants to commercial growers each year, we believe that every 
home garden should contain a few of these easily grown plants, as 
they will furnish plenty of big, rich-flavored, juicy berries for making delicious 
cobblers, wines, jams and jellies. Prices all varieties blackberries page 47 
THE MOST WIDELY 
PLANTED OF ALL | 
or | BLACKBERRIES 
Eldorado, the most widely planted blackberry on the market, is of fine quality 
with glossy, black berries and very little core, and is unexcelled for making 
jams, jellies, and pies. Because of its hardiness, it does well in the extreme 
North. You can depend on Eldorado to give you satisfaction as a midseason 
to late variety.
