Too much can scarcely be said in commendation of each of the following- five varieties of Berries. Each one is a veritable 

 Star and surpasses by far all others of its class that have preceded it. They are so valuable I want everybody to plant them; 

 for I believe ever3-bod}- who plants one or more of them will be greathy benefited by so doing-. As I can offer these varities at 

 lower cost in a collection, by reason of the fact that several orders for the same items can be gotten together for shipment at 

 one time more cheaply than when gotten up one at a time, I group them together and offer them below at a remarkable 

 reduction from regular prices. These offers are bargains that no one who has room to plant , or is in any way interested in 

 Small Fruits, can well afford to overlook. At the reduced prices named, there is practically no profit in the sales from them, 

 and I make them to extend the planting of these grand sorts; feeling assured that all who plant them will want larger 

 quantities another year (and thus create trade), and with a desire to benefit my patrons, by offering them good plants of the 

 finest varieties of Berries that have thus far appeared, at less cost than it would be possible to otherwise obtain them. Please 

 bear in mind, however, these collections must be taken exactly "asoffered and that no change or alteration can be made in them. 



GLADSTONE STRAWBERRY. An American variety, 

 produced at the home of the venerable Sharpless. Berries of 

 enormous size and produced in vast numbers : and they are 

 as beautiful and good as they are large and abundant. The 

 plant is a marvel of vigor. For illustration and description, 

 see page 4. 



SAnPLE STRAWBERRY. As a late sort this is nearly 

 or quite equal to Gladstone, as a variety ripening- in mid- 

 season. See page 5 for description. 



CUMBERLAND RASPBERRY. A veritable monster 

 among Black Cap Raspberries: rivaling the Blackberry in 

 size. "Canes of strong growth. Very hardy and an enormous 



yielder. The fruit is of excellent quality and the variety is 

 without defect in fruit or plant. See page 8. 



KING RASPBERRY. A king indeed, and destined to 

 have a long and royal reign. As a Red Raspberry even more 

 valuable than Cumberland as a Black one. For full descrip- 

 tion, illustration, etc., see page 7. 



MERSEREAU BLACKBERRY. Last but not least, as 

 it is the greatest of all. It is just what eve^body wants, 

 and has wanted for a long time, viz,, a large and delicious 

 Blackberry with an ironclad cane 3'ielding abundantly. It 

 affords a profit of $1,000 a year per acre with but fairly good 

 culture. See page 9 for fuller account of it. 



For $ 1 .OO I will send a dozen plants of each of the two Strawberries, a dozen each of the two raspberries and a half 

 dozen of the Blackberry (costing at regular rates, $1.65) ; by mail if preferred. 



For $2.00 I will send by express two dozen of each of the two Strawberries, the two Raspberries and Blackberry 

 ten dozen plants in all, costing at regular rates $3.80.) 



For $3.0O I will semi by express fifty of each of the two Strawberries, the two Raspberries and Blackberry (costing 

 at regular rates, $4.50., 



For $5.00 I will send by express or freight 100 each of the two Strawberries, the two Raspberries and Blackberry 



(500 plants in all) .
