(Ready October 20th.) 
RATHBUN. The plant is very vigorous, branching 
naturally, producing fruiting canes very freely 
and an abundance of large, luscious fruit. It ‘‘suck- 
ers” but slightly, the roots are strong and branching, 
penetrating deeply into the soil, a valuable character- 
istic in dry seasons and locations. The fruit is very 
large and handsome, intense black with a very high 
polish and without any hard core, juicy, high-flavored; 
of so superior a quality that it is in a class by itself. 
Those accustomed to the old varieties would searce- 
ly recognize it for a Blackberry. For table use, for 
canning or for culinary purposes itis equally desir- 
able. It literally melts in the mouth. Price, 40c. each, 
3 for $1.00, 7 for $2.00, 12 for $3.00, 25 for $5.50, 50 for 
$10.00, 100 for $18.00.

sturdy in cane as the Cuthbert and Marl-
