above) that we no longer offer "sucker" plants of the Blackberry. The transplanted plants 

 are root-cutting plants, planted closely and grown the second year in the nursery. 



Do not order less than a half dozen of a variety as a test to amount to anything cannot be 

 made with a less number. 



JOY BLACKBERRY 



First offered in 1913 after having been tested for many years, and has now attained the 

 same prominence among Blackberries as has the Gandy among Strawberries and the Cuthbert 

 and St. Regis among Raspberries, all of which were disseminated by the Monmouth Nursery. 

 Yes, Joy has "made good" and has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the finest and 

 the best Blackberry for American growers as yet offered: both for the commercial growers 

 and for the home garden. 



It may be briefly described as follows:— Canes of stocky, vigorous habit (so stout and 

 strong it needs no staking) with abundant large five fingered leafage; yields very heavily 

 every year and all the canes are loaded with fruit. We have never known any variety, either 

 Blackberry or Raspberry, with such an inherent propensity to bear fruit as the Joy Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of twenty-four degrees below zero unharmed; and is entirely 

 immune to "Orange Rust," "Double Blossom" and all other diseases of the Blackberry. For the 

 past two years, in order to test its resistance to Orange Rust, we had it growing in adjacent 

 rows to a Blackberry, the canes of which were badly infested with this scourge, and not a 

 trace of Orange Rust appeared upon the Joy. 



The berries are large and almost as thick through as they are long— a characteristic of the 

 variety— and are coal black. In rich, luscious flavor, it surpasses all other Blackberries. It 

 is not an early variety, ripening in midseason ; with Ward. Blowers and Mersereau.
