BLACKBERRIES 



6 All Crown from Root Cuttings 



THE SAME high standard that we have set for our straw, 

 berry plants is duplicated in our blackberry plants 

 which transplant very easily and produce larger canes 

 and superior fruit than the average nursery grown plants. They arc 

 grown from strong root cuttings because we know that this method 

 of propagating is far superior to sucker plants making a much more 

 fibrous rooted plant than sucker plants and grow off much qmckei , 

 after setting. During the first year, the varieties listed on this pagt 

 grow mostly on the ground, but after the first crop, grow upright 

 standing in bunches, obtaining a height of 4 to 6 feet. One Planting 

 will last you several years, and while we sell several hundred thou- 

 Band plants to commercial growers each year, we believe that everj, 

 home garden should contain a few of these easily grown Plants, as 

 they will furnish plenty of big, rich-flavored, juicy berries for making delicious cobblers 

 wines, jams and jellies. P«ces all varieties Page 47
