Crystal White. Interest- 

 ing from the fact of its be- 

 ing a white blackberry ; and 

 it is the best of its kind. 

 Berries of good size, trans- 

 lucent white, good, sweet 

 and pleasant. Canes of 

 strong growth, very pro- 

 ductive, but not entirely 

 hardy. Should be planted 

 near another variety to 

 properly fertilize its blos- 

 soms. By all means plant 

 a few in the home garden, 

 not only for the unique 

 character of the fruit but 

 also because it is so good. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, 12.00; 1000, 

 - $15.00. 



Early Harvest. Valuable for 

 its earliness, attractive appear- 

 ance, firmness and productive- 

 ness. Berries not of the larg- 

 est size but very uniform, of 

 a bright, glossy black and ex- 

 cellent in quality. It is not 

 entirely hardy, but succeeds 

 in all but very cold sections, 

 and a very slight protection 

 suffices for it there. For the 

 South it is especially valuable, 

 and is a profitable early va- 

 riety everywhere. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $6.00. 



A welcome acquisition to the home grow- 

 er, since it is especially valuable for 

 its fine quality which renders it one 

 of the best for table use. It has 

 Other desirable merits, however, in 

 cane and fruit. The former are 

 strong, hardy and productive, whilst 

 the berries are medium to large, 

 glossy jet black, sweet, melting, rich 

 and pleasant. It grows so well, pro- 

 duces so much'and the fruit is so good 

 that it is sure to give general satis- 

 faction. We are receiving favorable 

 reports of it from many states, at- 

 testing its hardiness and other valu- 

 able properties. Second early. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 

 Taylor's Prolific. Like Snyder, of unusual hardiness 

 of cane, and, ripening later, it makes an excellent com- 

 panion for it in cold locations where hardiness is of 

 more importance than large size of berry. The canes 

 are of strong growth and very prolific; berries of good 

 size, larger than Snyder, and of exceedingly fine qual- 

 ity. Midseason to late. Doz., 35c: 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



Erie. Introduced by us 

 some years ago, and now the 

 most popular of all the stand- 

 ard sorts. It has been very 

 largely grown for market 

 and its many good properties 

 have made it very profitable. 

 Berries large, roundish, very 

 uniform, glossy black and of 

 good quality. Canes robust, 

 hardy and productive. It 

 somewhat resembles the 

 Lawton in habit of growth 

 and shape of berry but ri- 

 pens earlier and is very 

 much hardier. A reliable 

 sort and gives satisfaction 

 everywhere. Doz., 35c; 100, 

 $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 

 Lawton (New Rochelle). This also is an old favorite, 

 justly esteemed for its productiveness and large size. 

 Like Kittatinny, it is of strong, erect growth, but much 

 freer from rust. The berries are large and delicious 

 when fully ripe, but turn black before ripening and are 

 then hard and sour. It succeeds over a wide range of 

 country and is one of the best standard sorts, but has 

 now been somewhat superseded by Erie and other sorts. 

 Midseason to late. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00: 1000, $7.00. 



Kittatinny. Well-known and 

 once very popular, but its lack 

 of hardiness at the North and 

 tendency to rust, in some loca- 

 tions, have caused it to be some- 

 what less in demand. It is a 

 choice variety, however, especi- 

 ally for the home garden, with 

 large, handsome berries of deli- 

 cious flavor; canes of strong, 

 erect growth, and very pro- 

 ductive under good culture. 

 Its fruit is so fine in appear- 

 ance and good in quality that 

 it pays well for extra culture. 

 Midseason to late. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $r.oo. 



Ohmer. Large, late and pro- 

 fitable. In both cane and fruit 

 it is all that can be desired; 

 canes vigorous, strong, hardy, 

 and very productive, with tough 

 healthy foliage. The berries are 

 large, jet black, glossy and at 1 ' 

 tractive, firm, and of sweet, 

 rich flavor, tender and good. It ' 

 ripens about with Taylor's Pro- 

 lific, but is much larger in size 

 and infinitely better, except for 

 extreme northern localities. 

 It very acceptably fills a vacant 

 place and supplies the existing 

 demand for a profitable, large, 

 late blackberry. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Snyder. A popular early sort for planting at the 

 North and north- 

 west; its extreme 

 hardiness of cane 

 rendering it valu- 

 able for cold clim- 

 ates. It is wonder- 

 fully productive, 

 and though the ber- 

 ries are but medi- 

 um in size they are 

 of good quality, 

 sweet and juicy, 

 and, when fully 

 ripe, are without 

 hard core. It is 

 largely planted and 

 is the best early 

 blackberry for ex- 

 treme northern lo- 

 cations where other 

 varieties winter- 

 kill, its earliness 

 and productiveness 

 making it exceed- 

 in g 1 y profitable 



and desirable. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $i 



Wilson's Early. Once the leading early market vari- 

 ety and still popular in many lo- 

 calities, but it has been supersed- 

 ed by better sorts. Canes slender, 

 rather tender, productive; berries 

 large, long and of good quality. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 

 Sucker plants, doz., 35c; 100, 

 $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Wilson Junior. A seedling of 

 Wilson's Early, whose place it 

 has taken very largely. It pos- 

 sesses all the good qualities of its 

 parent, combining size, earliness 

 and productiveness with its fine 

 appearance and market proper- 

 ties. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, 

 $9.00. Sucker plants, doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $6.00.
