 and is the best early 

 blackberry for extreme 

 Northern locations

 and product i ve ness 

 rendering it profitable 

 and desirable. Dozen,

ROLIFIC. Ltke Snyder, of unusual 

 hardiness of cane, and ripening later, 

 it makes an excellent companion for it 

 in cold locations, where hardiness is of

 and "vers- prolific; berries of good size, 

 larger than Snyder, and exceedingly 

 sweet and rich.' Midseason to late.

GOOSEBERRIES. 



Plant in row«inur feet apart and three feet distant in the rows. The directions given for currants will apply equally to 

 g-ooseb^rries. The greatest eneni3 I is mildew, which, however, may be generally avoided by planting in partial shade and 

 by thorough mulching. Milde w is now successfully treated by dissolving one ounce of potassium sulphide 'fiver of sulphur) 

 in four gallons < f water and spraving it over the bushes as soon as the buds have opened in spring, and several times 

 during "the summer. The varieties offered are seldom attacked by mildew. 



One year plants will be sent by mail at dozen rales if desired. Add 50c per 100 if to be sent by mail at hundred rates. The t-j? 

 years plants are too large to mail. Thousand rates will be given upon application.
