ICEBERG. — The best white blackberry yet introduced. 



The berries are a snowy, 

 translucent white, sweet and 

 ,„,vrr: . tcndcr, borne in large clus- 



ters very profusely. An 

 unique variety. The berries 

 of this, mingled with black 

 ones, present a beautiful and 

 appetizing dish. Not entire- 

 ly hardy at the far north. 

 Midseason. The berries are 

 reduced to half natural size 

 in the cut. Root cutting 

 plants, doz., 40c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 



MERSEREAU.— The cardinal properties of the Mersereau 

 are large size, luscious flavor and great hardi- 

 ness of cane. Berries jet black, large, luscious, melting 

 and firm enough to ship well. Canes of strong growth 

 and healthy. Unfortunately it is not prolific except upon 

 soil that exactly suits it, i. e., clayey loam. Season 

 early to midseason; with the Ward, but not so early 

 as Kenoyer. Canes grow vigorously upon all soils. Doz., 

 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



TAYLOR. — An old variety, valuable by reason of its 

 exceptional hardiness of cane, superior quality, lateness 

 and productiveness. Berries of good size and extra fine 

 flavor; rich, sweet and luscious. It is one of the most 

 reliable of all blackberries and never fails to mature a 

 crop. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



WILSON and WILSON, JR.— These once popular vari- 

 eties winter kill so badly and are so unreliable of late 

 years that I have discarded them entirely. 



DEWBERRIES 



If to go by mail, add 40c per 100; post free at dosen 

 rates, if desired. 



Dewberries prefer a light sandy soil, but will succeed 

 upon any except wet land. As the vines trail upon the 

 ground, it is necessary to stake them or to use a mulch 

 to prevent the fruit from becoming sandy and unmarket- 

 able. If to be staked, plant in rows four feet apart each 

 way; if to be mulched, plant in rows six feet apart and 

 the plants three feet apart in the rows. The work of 

 trimming, staking and mulching should be done in early 

 spring, before the buds have started growth. 



Boston, Mass., April 2, 1911. 



I happened to go to M April 1st., just the day the 



St. Regis Raspberries arrived. They are splendid looking 

 plants and I am much pleased with them.

LUCRETIA 



The standard dewberry; earlier than blackberries and 

 as large as the largest of them. The canes are hardy 

 and exceedingly prolific, thriving everywhere; of slea- 



ze plant of Lucretia in Bearing. 



der, trailing habit, and ei tirely free from disease and 

 insect attacks. The fruit is of excellent quality, large 

 and handsome; jet black, rich and melting. Ships well 

 and keeps well. (See cut.) Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 1000, 

 $6.00. 



AUSTINS' IMPROVED.— The earliest dewberry; of ex- 

 cellent quality and large yield. Berries large, short and 

 thick; canes vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens fully 

 a week earlier than Lucretia. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 

 1000, $6.00. 



Ontario, Can., Feb. 10, 1911. 

 Will you please send me your catalog? In the mean- 

 time reserve for me 6 St. Regis Everbearing Raspberries 

 and two roots of Rosemary. I will send for more things 

 when your catalogue comes, as I have always found your 

 things very satisfactory.

Currants 



One year plants mailed postpaid at dozen rates, if desired. If by mail at 100 rates, add 50c per 100 



Two year plants are too large to mail, 

 A sandy, moist location is best for the Currant, and for this reason it succeeds admirably when planted by a 

 stone wall or fence, being benefitted by partial shade. Plant in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart in 

 the rows. Keep the ground mellow and free of weeds and grass, using fertilizer copiously. Mulching is necessary 

 for the best returns. So soon as the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall, with a pruning knife remove all the old wood 

 and cut back the young shoots a third of their length, cutting to the ground enough of these to admit air and light 

 into the bush freely. 



Thousand rates of any variety or grade desired, promptly given by letter.
