BLACKBERRIES 



General List of Varieties 



BLOWERS.— Many who are familiar with 

 this variety insist upon only "Blowers." for 

 it possesses the quadruple valuable qualities of 

 large size, productiveness, absolute hardiness 

 and a very prolonged season of fruiting. On 

 fertile soil the canes often grow to ten or 



twelve feet, if unchecked. It yields very heav- 

 ily and for a long season, beginning in mid- 

 season. The fruit is large, attractive and of 

 superb qualit}'. Twenty degrees below zero 

 has not harmed it and it has yielded at the 

 rate of 280 bushels per acre. Dozen, $1.00: 100. 

 $5.00: 1,000, $45.00. 



^ EARLY HARVEST.— An old variety and a 

 favorite especially with western and south- 

 western growers. The mild, sweet berries are 

 rather small but firm and symmetrical. Ripens 

 verv earlv: sometimes suffers from winter in- 

 jury in the North. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50: 

 1,000, $40.00. 



■y ELDORADO. — Considered among the high- 

 est in quality of all Blackberries. \^ery popu- 

 lar, especialy throughout the North and North- 

 west, not only on account of its quality but 

 because of its extreme hardiness. The fruit 

 is of medium size, jet black, mild, sweet and 

 melting. A good, healthy, vigorous grower. 

 Fruits early to midseason. Dozen, $1.00: 100. 

 $4.50: 1,000, $40.00. 



\y HIMALAYA. — Almost a climber, with ex- 

 tremely long canes, which grow best over 

 stakes or an arbor. At our nurseries it has 

 been a shy yielder and the berries are small, 

 but of sweet, brisk flavor. Heavv tip plants, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.

 My first bearing last year of your Everybody's Currents 

 was 17 boxes. This year they doubled 34. also Blackber- 

 ries and "Raspberries are bearing fine.

ICEBERG.— Each home garden should 

 boast some white blackberries, and this is un- 

 questionably the best yet produced. Clusters 

 of the white translucent berries are produced 

 very profusely in midseason and are both sweet 

 and tender. Alone, or with the fruit of the 

 black varieties, a beautiful and appetizing dish 

 may grace the table. It is not as hardy as 

 some of the black varieties. As the blossoms 

 are lacking in pollen, it should be planted near 

 some black fruited variety in order to yield 

 freely. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



MACATAWA. — Too high praise can scarce- 

 ly be given this exceptional variet3^ By man}' 

 growers it is classed as an everbearing sort 

 because of its very long season of fruiting. 



Who would not desire a blackberry producing 

 profusely for many weeks, fruit which is sweet, 

 almost seedless and ^entirely coreless? Well, 

 here we have it! It is a strong, upright grower, 

 is tremendously prolific and extremely hardy. 

 You, as have we, will doubtless find this one 

 of the most profitable varieties. Dozen, $1.00: 

 100, $5.00: 1.000 $45.00. 



MERSEREAU.— A superb berry with great 

 hardiness of cane, having originated in north- 

 western New York, where for many years it 

 has stood unharmed. Great size, luscious 

 flavor, great hardiness, great productiveness 

 and unusual freedom from "Orange Rust" and 

 other diseases are combined in this one va- 

 riety. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00: 1.000. $45.00. 



Rockingham Co., X. H.. Aug. 2, 1921. 

 The Early Jersey Giant, the Edmund Wilson and the 

 Late Jersey Giant are the very best strawberries I have 

 had in my garden. Pantel W. Shea.
