"I had excellent results this season from the Joy Blackberry purchased of you three years 

 ago. I never saw such quantity and quality combined."— 5. B, Cozine (Ky.j. 



"The Joy Blackberry was indeed tine. It was grand." — Henry L. Franz (Ohio;. 



Mr. Leonard Barron, editor of the Garden Magazine, writes: "The Joy Blackberry, I 

 have already known and appreciated. It has fruited here at Garden City and is the best Black- 

 berry we have on the place." 



The chairman of the special committee on new fruits of the Xew Jersey State Horticultural 

 Society in a recent report to the society said: "The Joy Blackberry has been carefully watched 

 and I am of the opinion that it is the best variety to plant that is listed today. The plant is a 

 strong grower and a heavy cropper of large black fruit; leaves do not rust and the berries stay 

 black after picking. Planted alongside of Ward and several other varieties, it was the only 

 one entirely free from rust or leaf blight."' 



An expert, writing in Garden Magazine, sayi: "Joy Blackberry has been planted in the 

 eastern states for a few years and has the reputation as a great bearer. The plants are very 

 hardy and the fruit is meaty and good."' 



"The Joy Blackberry is all you claim for it.'" — Geo. S. Chamherlin (R.I.). 



"Caco Grape stood lorty degrees below zero at my place near Bismarck without snow or 

 other protection. Joy Blackberry also came through all right." — John W . Millett (X. Dakota;. 



"The Joy Blackberry is fine and it bears immensel}-." — F. J. Hanson (Oregon).

BLOWERS. — Like the good friend and true, 

 this improves in one's estimation the better it 

 becomes known. In it we have a large produc- 

 tive and absolutely hardy Blackberrj-. 



Blowers is a sturdy grower dht canes, if un- 

 checked, attain a height of ten to twelve feet 

 on fertile soilj and is "as hardy as an oak." It 

 yields very heavily and for a long season. The 

 fruit is handsome as well as large, and is of 

 superb quality. Its canes have endured a tem- 

 perature of twenty degrees below zero un- 

 harmed, and it has yielded at the rate of 280 

 bushels per acre. We have had this variety 

 in bearing for several years and think better of 

 it all the time. It begins to ripen in mid sea- 

 son and continues for a long time. R. C. plants,

EARLY HARVEST.— A well known variety 

 and largely grown in the west and southwest. 



Berries rather small of 

 pretty form, firm and of 

 mild, sweet flavor. It 

 ripens very early (by 

 July 4th at the north) 

 and the canes are very 

 prolific. Sometimes in- 

 jured in winter at the 

 north. R. C. plants,

ELDORADO. — Especially valued for its 



sweetness of fruit and hardiness of cane. The 

 berries are of medium size, glossy, jet black, 

 mild, sweet and melting. Canes are vigorous 

 and producti\e. Its season is second earlj-.

HIMALAYA GIANT.— A giant, indeed, in 

 growth. Although of delightfully sweet, brisk 

 flavor, at Monmouth the berries are small and 

 the yield has been unsatisfactory. We have, 

 however, receixed so many letters from patrons 

 commending it so highK- that we deem it 

 proper to rexise our description of it. 



The canes are tremendous growers and with 

 some, at least, are enormously prolific. Ber- 

 ries, jet black and verv firm. Ripens late.

ICEBERG.— The best white blackberry as 

 yet introduced. The berries are translucent 

 white, sweet and tender 

 and are borne very pro- 

 fusely in clusters. A 

 unique variety. The 

 fruit of this variety, 

 mingled with black 

 ones, presents a beauti- 

 ful and appetizing dish, 

 Xot entirely hardy at 

 the far north. , Midsea- 

 son. The blossoms are 

 lacking in pollen and it 

 should be planted near 

 some other varietj^ in 

 order to yield freel}'. R. C. plants, dozen

KENOYER. — A very early and entirely 

 hardy Blackberry of good size and excellent 

 qualit}-; hence a variety of great value. At Mon- 

 mouth, it is ripe by July 1st. In the past Early 

 Harvest has been the variety chiefly planted 

 for early Blackberries. Kenoyer gives berries 

 nearly double the size of it, ripens a few days 

 earlier and the canes are absolutely hardy. The 

 canes are of stocky habit and yield such quan- 

 tities of berries, the3' are, as one grower puts it, 

 "black with fruit" at picking time. It ripens 

 its entire crop in a short period. R. C. plants, 

 dozen, 50c.; 100. $2.00; 1.000, $15.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00.
