STRAIN 



BLACKBERRIES 



• All Grown from Root Cuttings 



They make a much more fibrous rooted plant and grow off 

 much quicker after setting. One planting lasts for several 

 years, and the first crop generally more than pays for the entire 

 investment. After the first crop, blackberry plants grow upright, 

 standing in bunches and often attaining heights in excess of 6 feet. 

 Despite the fact that we sell hundreds of thousands of blackberry plants 

 to commercial growers every year, we sincerely believe that every home 

 garden should contain several of these easily grown plants. Not only 

 will they furnish plenty of big, tasty berries for making luscious cob- 

 blers, wines, jams and jellies, but will also enable you to sell plenty 

 of left-overs.

THE MOST WIDELY 



PLANTED OF ALL 



BLACKBERRIES

IT LEADS THE FIELD 



Famous for being the most widely planted of all 

 commercial blackberries, Eldorado's unexcelled pro- 

 ductiveness cannot be beaten. Its fragrant, jet 

 black, large sized, practically coreless berry is in 

 demand wherever and whenever blackberries are 

 marketed. Eldorado does exceptionally 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. 

 For a high qual- 

 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. 



Always A Profitable 

 Investment 



Its vigorous and hj.rdy vine, 

 and its heavy fruiting quali- 

 ties have established for 

 Blowers the reputation of 

 being one of the leading 

 commercial varieties on the 

 market. Its berries are 

 borne in large clusters and 

 are sweet and melting to the 

 taste. Blowers is a heavy 

 producer — especially in the 

 northern states. Get in on
