In field culture, plant in rows from five to 

 seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 

 variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In 

 the garden, plant in rows five feet apart and 

 the plants three feet apart in the rows. 



Of all the berry crops 

 with which we are familiar. 

 Blackberries are the most 

 dependable, j^ear after 

 year ! When all other cane 

 fruits turn out to be "shy" 

 vielders and the customary 

 "berry money" seems to be 

 disappearing from vision, 

 then it is that Blackberries 

 save the day and come 

 through, as usual ! 



Blackberries grow like 

 weeds — any time, any- 

 where, any place. The va- 

 rieties we offer will make 

 good as per our promise in 

 descriptions. The plants 

 we offer have unrivalled 

 constitutions and bearing 

 power.
