ROBINSON 



Is One of the Largest 

 Blackberries Grown 



Everbearing Blackberry 



This new Everbearing Blackberry has proved to be a 

 profitable fall cropping variety as well as producing a 

 fine crop of extra large solid berries along with the other 

 well-known blackberry varieties that produce their crop 

 only in the early summer months. This variety has been 

 tested in several states and is not in the experimental 

 stage, having passed the test of a profitable variety for 

 the market gardener fruit grower as well as home gar- 

 deners. It takes no more attention for them than the 

 ordinary Blackberry, and is sure to be of great benefit 

 thruout the coming years to the fruit grower who is 

 catering to the roadside markets. 



ZIARIiY HARVEST is one of the earliest Blackberry vari- 

 eties to ripen and most productive of the early sorts. If you ars 

 looking for a very early blackberry then plant Early Ha'vest 

 of Townsend's Selective Strain. Fruit is very firm, medium 

 large and a vigorous grower. Our stock is grown from root 

 cuttings only.

XSIiDORADO is the most widely planted Blackberry on the 

 Market; it does well in the Extreme North on account of its 

 hardiness where some of the other varieties winter kills if 

 not properly protected. Eldorado is of fine quality; berries 

 are glossy black and with very little core. For making 

 jellies, jams and pies it is unexcelled, having a very rich flavor. 

 W^e only offer stock grown from rooted cuttings, as we consider 

 them far superior to sucker plants. You can depend on 

 Townsend's Eldorado to give you satisfaction as a Midseason 

 to Late Variety. 



New ALFRED Blackberry 



Large, Very Sweet and a Heavy Producer 



Alfred is grown thruout the Northwestern states. Also is 

 heavily planted in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, New 

 York and Pennsylvania. It is of recent introduction. Mid- 

 season fruiting; extremely large; practically free from seeds 

 and coreless. Very sweet and juicy. For a midseason variety 

 we recommend Alfred.
