 IT LEADS THE FIELD 



Famous for being the most widely planted of all com- 

 mercial blackberries, Eldorado's unexcelled productiveness 

 cannot be beaten. Its fragrant, jet black, large sized, 

 practically roreless berry is in demand wherever and 

 whenever blackberries are marketed. Eldorado does excep- 

 tionally well even under extreme cold weather, and you 

 can depend upon this hardy variety for satisfaction far 

 beyond your greatest expectations. Eldorado is a mid- 

 season to late variety and is superb for making pies, 

 jams, jellies and wines.

The Earliest Of All 

 Blackberries 



This variety is unquestionably 

 the most productive of all the 

 early ripening blackberries. Its 

 growth is superlatively abundant 

 and vigorous, and the canes are 

 very hardy. It fruits a medium 

 large but very 

 firm berry that 

 is excellently 

 suited for ship- 

 ping purposes.

 ity early black- 

 berry — plant

 SUCCEEDS ALMOST EVERYWHERE 



Known to have successfully withstood 35 degrees below 

 zero, the New Alfred's hardiness cannot be adequately 

 evaluated. This rugged producer of large, sweet, coreless 

 berries ripens a few days earlier than Eldorado. Alfred's 

 northern locale origination has made it adaptable to all 

 sections. Growers in all of the northwestern states as well 

 as in Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana. Illinois, New York 

 and Pennsylvania are loud in their praises as of the 

 merits of this new variety. We recommend the New Alfred 

 highly, and in our estimation, for a fine mid-season 

 variety, there is none better.
