BLACKBERRIES - Concluded 



Mt. Pocono. This introduction of our nursery resists zero climates 

 successfully, bears fruit above average size and the quality of 

 the fruit is extra high. Being a hardy, vigorous grov/er, with 

 healthy, strong-growing canes, it logically is also a heavy pro- 

 ducer of qualtiy berries. As to its hardiness, only a sort of the 

 hardiest type could weather the zero climates of Mount Pocono. 

 We heartily recommend Lovett's Mt. Pocono Blackberry for sec- 

 tions having extreme climatic conditions. 1-yr. plants, doz. $2.00, 

 100 $10.00; strong transplanted plants, doz. $3.00, 100 $15.00. 



New Lowden. A new variety from Canada where its hardiness is 

 a byword. Its berry is very similar to those of Eldorado, being 

 equally handsome and delicious. 1-yr. plants, doz. $2.00, 100 

 $10.00; strong, transplanted plants, doz. $3.00, 100 $15.00. 



Taylor. Late. Popular, with juicy, rich berries of high quality. 

 1-yr. plants, doz. 75c, 100 $4.00; strong, transplanted plants, doz. 

 $1.25, 100 $6.00. 



Ward. Popular for home garden or market, with large handsome 

 berries which bring top prices. 1-yr. plants, doz. 75c, 100 $4.00;

CURRANTS 



All strong, 2-year plants. 



Cultural directions. Plant either in sunlight or partial shade. 

 Do not cultivate the plants too deeply. Best results are obtained 

 by placing a fairly thick mulch of leaves or straw about the plants 

 and doing no cultivating whatsoever. 



Price, all varieties, except as noted otherwise: 2Sc each, S2.50 

 per doz. 



Cherry. Sharply acid, big, crimson fruit, uniform in size, and de- 

 licious when cooked. 



Fay Prolific. Very dark red in color are these juicy, big berries, 

 excellent for canning. 



Perfection. Undoubtedly the finest of all varieties for the home gar- 

 den. This sort bears big clusters of easily picked red Currants 

 over a long period, each rivaling the other in delicious flavor. 

 Each 35c, doz. $3.50. 



White Grope. Probably the most attractive of Currants with its big 

 clusters of translucent white berries. Each 35c, doz. $3.50. 



Wilder. Among the most prolific sorts — with bright red, attractive 

 berries which are firm and of good flavor. 



ASPARAGUS 



Culture. In the family garden, the roots should be set from one 

 to two feet apart in rows three feet apart. They should be placed 

 in furrows six or eight inches deep, but covered with only about 

 three inches of soil at time of planting, the remainder of the trench 

 being filled in by degrees as the plants increase in height. Care 

 should be taken to enrich the soil by a liberal digging in of well- 

 rotted manure. 



WASHINGTON 



Because Washington is unquestionably by far the best and most 

 delicious of all varieties of Asparagus, we have discontinued grow- 

 ing the other varieties which we have offered in former years. 

 The outstanding characteristics of the new variety are: Exceptional 

 rust-resistance, extraordinary yielding qualities, large size of in- 

 dividual stalks, and their rapid development to cutting size, which 

 rapid growth stands for tenderness. The shoots are straight, of 

 dark green color, with a heavy purple overtone. They are always 

 tight and do not open until well above the ground. 1 yr., doz. 30c, 

 100 $1.25, 1000 $9.00; 2 yrs., doz. 40c, 100 $1.50, 1000 $12.00; 

 extra large, 3 yrs., doz. 90c, 100 $3.50, 1000 $25.00.
