DEWBERRIES 



THE DEWBERRY is a trailing blackberry and a little less hardy. It Is 

 grown on a large commercial scale in the central and southern states. 

 With the introduction of the Youngberry and Boysenberry, and Nectar- 

 berry varieties, which are hardier than the Lucretia, the planting sections 

 of the Dewberry have been advanced some two hundred miles north, and 

 growers now are reporting good results as far north as Rhode Island and 

 Western New York. Dewberries ripen earlier than Blackberries, are much 

 larger, and have a very fine flavor. We consider the dewberry an ideal 

 addition to the home garden. They are becoming very popular on the 

 market. On account of the texture of the Dewberry it should be placed 

 on the market soon after picking and long hauls be avoided. Unless 

 weather is cool and favorable for such trips, they should not be picked

LUCRETIA. Exceptionally hardy vines 

 that may be successfully planted in the 

 Northern States, also grown on large 

 scale in the South— large, firm, juicy 

 fruit.
