Erie. One of the most popular sorts, largely planted, 

 always reliable and satisfactory. The canes are robust, 

 hardy and productive. Berries large, roundish, glossy 

 black, of good quality. It may be relied upon to pro- 

 duce a large crop of fine fruit. Ripens second early. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, #10.00. 



Kittatinny. A choice variety, well-known, and once 

 very popular. It is especially valuable for the home 

 garden, bearing large, handsome berries of delicious 

 flavor. The canes are of strong, erect growth and 

 very productive, but of late years are frequently at- 

 tacked and injui-ed by fungus known as orange rust. 

 Profitable also for market where fine quality is in de- 

 mand. Midseason. Doz., 35c ; 100, fl.OO ; 1000, $8.00. 



Lawton {New Rochelle). This, also, is an old fovorite, 

 justly esteemed for its large, fine fruit and productive- 

 ness. It is of vigorous growth and succeeds over a 

 wide range of country. The berries are large and 

 roundish, and of delicious quality when fully ripe, but 

 turn black in advance of ripening. Midseason to late. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.^0; 1000, $8.00. 

 Lovett. One of the best standard sorts, yielding large 



crops and great 

 profit. The ber- 

 ries are large, 

 roundish, j e t - 

 black, firm, and 

 of extra high 

 quality. Canes 

 of ironclad hardi- 

 ness, strong, vig- 

 o r o u s growth, 

 and productive. 

 It ripens early 

 and continues to 

 bear until the 

 close of the sea- 

 son. The berries 

 do not turn red 

 after gathered, 

 in hot muggy 

 weather, as do 

 those of many 

 varieties. Es- 

 pecially valuable 

 for planting at 

 the far North, on 

 account of its 

 great hardihood 

 and fine fruit. Doz., 35c ; 100, $1.00 ; 1000, 17.00. 



IMaxwell. A choice early variety of good size and su- 

 perior quality, but lacking firmness for market. It is 

 very desirable for the home garden. The berries are 



DEWBERRIES. 



These ripen their fruit between raspberries and black- 

 berries, and are earlier and larger than blackberries 

 Plant in rows six feet apart with the plants three feet 

 distant in the rows. 



Austin's Improved Dewberry. 



An extra early variety from 

 Texas, of wonderful size and 

 delicious flavor. In produc- 

 tiveness it is ahead of all other 

 varieties and succeeds every- 

 where, withstanding drought 

 and h.ot suns with extraordinary 

 endurance. The vines are of 

 trailing habit and can be easily 

 covered for winter protection at 

 the North. The berries are 

 very large, of glossy black color, 

 never turning red, of excel- 

 lent quality, sweet and tender 

 to the centre. It ripens just 

 after strawberries and long be- 

 fore any blackberries are ripe. 

 Prof. S. P. Heiges. Pomologist 

 of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington. D. C, says of it : "I con- 

 sider It by far the finest Dewberry I have ever seen. 

 Doz., 50c ; 100^ $2.50. 



Lucretia. A tri^d variety and a most valuable sort. 

 The berries are large and long, handsome, jet black 

 rich, melting and delicious. Plant entirely hardy 



glossy black, sweet, rich, and luscious — no core what- 

 ever. Canes strong, stocky, and exceedingly prolific, 

 entirely free from rust. Doz., 40c ; 100, $1.00 ; 1000, 

 $8.00. 



Ohiner. Large, late and profitable. In both cane 

 and fruit it is all that can be des'red ; canes vigorous, 

 strong, hardy, and very productive, with tough, healthy 

 foliage. The berries are large, jet black, glossy and 

 attractive, firm, and of sweet, rich flavor, tender and 

 good. It ripens with Taylor's Prolific, but is much 

 larger and infinitely better, except for extreme North- 

 ern localities. Doz., 35c ; 100, $1.25 ; 1000, $10.00. 



Taylor's Prolific. Like Snyder, of unusual hardiness 

 of cane, and, ripening later, it 

 makes an excellent companion for 

 it in cold locations, where hardi- 

 ness is of more importance than 

 large size of berry. The canes are 

 of strong growth and very pro- 

 lific ; berries of good size, larger 

 than Snyder, and exceedingly sweet 

 and rich. Midseason to late. Doz., 

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



Snyder. A popular early sort 

 for planting at the North and 

 Northwest ; its extreme hardiness 

 of cane rendering it valuable for 

 cold climates. It is wonderfully pro- 

 uctive and though the berries are 

 but medium in size, they are sweet taylor. 

 and juicy, and without anv hard core. Doz., 35c ; 100, 

 $1.00 ; 1000, $8.00. 



Wilson's Eany {true). Once the leading early mar- 

 ket variety and still popular in 

 many localities, but it has been 

 superseded by better sorts. Canes 

 slender, rather tender, produc- 

 tive ; berries large, long and of 

 good quality. My {)lants were 

 grown from a fruiting planta- 

 tion, and are strictly genuine 

 and unmixed. Doz., 40c ; 100, 

 $1.00 ; 1000, $8.00. 



Wilson Junior. A seeding of 

 Wilson's Early and is very like 

 its parent in every way, uniting 

 extra large size, earliness and 

 productiveness with fine appear- 

 ance, and superior shipping and 

 keeping properties. Doz., 40c ; 

 100, $1.25 ; 1000, $8.00. 



everywhere, a healthy strong grower, and exceedingly 

 productive. In some sections it has proved exceeding- 

 ly profitable as a market fruit. Doz., 40c ; 100, $1.00 ; 

 1000, $8.00. 



IMay's Hybrid. A new variety from Texas, said to 

 be exceedingly hardy and of enormous size. A photo- 

 graph of it sent me by the introducer shows the berries 

 to be as large as small peaches. Doz., 50c ; 100, $2.50. 



Hampden Co., Mass., March 27tli, 1898. 

 The trees arrived yesterday In >rcod order and plants some 

 days previous. To say I am pleased does not half expres It. 

 The trees are the very best I have ever bought, and I shall be 

 delighted to show thf m to the croakers and tell them they are 

 New Jersey stock. I shall recommend your Company to my 

 friends and you may expect to hear from me again another 

 year. I have purchased a good many hundred dollars worth 

 of goods in this line, but never received better returns.

Hampden Co , Mass., Sept. 21st, 1898. 

 The Japan Plum trees I bought of you last spring were the 

 finest trees I have ever bought, and I have bought trees for the 

 last eleven years. Not one of tbfm but llvjd and have 

 made good growth. Next spring I shall want 100 more.
