 postage jnust be added at the rate 0/ lOc.per doz, 



LOVETT'S BEST. A thoroughly reliable Blackberry of large 

 size, with a cane of ironclad hardiness. 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 citt.) Price, 75c. per doz,, $5.00 per 100. 



Wilson Junior. Takes the place of the old Wilson'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 variety. 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 

 nist, double blossom and all other diseases, and wonderfully pro- 

 ductive, 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. 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 



Early Harvest. The earliest Blackberrry except Early King. 

 The berriesare 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 do2.,$3.oo per 100. 



Kattatinny. 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, 500. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 



Red Raspberries. 



(Ready Oct. 20th.) 

 If ivanted by }naii^ add loc. per doz. 



THOMPSON'S EARLY PROLIFIC 



Probably the best early red raspberry for general 

 cultivation that we now have. The plant is'an 

 excellent grower; canes erect, stout and hardy. 

 Berries are medium to large in size, of a bright 

 crimson color, very productive. It is the earliest 

 red raspberry we have seen, coming into bear- 

 ing just as the strawberry season is over. Puce, 

 60c. per doz., §4.00 per 100. 



CUTHBERT. The leading market variety; 

 proved of such general adaptabihty. Canes 

 hardy and of strong, rampant growth, with large, 

 healthy foUage, and exceedingly productive. 

 Berries large, dark crimson, quite firm and of 

 good flavor. Season late. Price, 50c. per doz., 

 $3.00 per 100. (See cut.) 



MARLBORO. The largest of the early red 

 raspberries, ripening a few days later than 

 Hansell. The canes are hardy and fairly pro- 

 ductive. Fruit exceedingly large, bright crim- 

 son, and of fair quality. Price, 50c. per doz., 

 $3.00 per 100, 



TURNER. (Southern Thornless.) Extremely 

 hardy and desirable as an early sort for the 

 home garden, but too soft for market purposes. 

 The canes make a strong, healthy growth and 

 are very productive. Berriesof good size, bright 

 crimson color, soft and of honeyed sweetness. 

 The plants sucker immoderately, and these 

 should be treated as weeds. Early. Price, 

 50c. per doz., ^3.00 per 10c. 



yello\i' Raspberry. 



Golden Queen. The most popular and best 

 yellow Raspberry yet introduced, Of large size,
