 EARL.V 



HARVEST.— The earliest black- 



berry except Early 

 King and conse- 

 quently one of the 

 most valuable. Ri- 

 pening the 4th of 

 July at Monmouth* 

 with its very attrac- 

 tive appearance, 

 firmness and ex- 

 ceeding' productive- 

 ness, renders it em- 

 inently prcfltable 

 for market: whilst 

 its earliness and 

 good quality make it a favorite in the home garden. 



The berries are not of the largest size, but very 

 uniform and of a bright glossy blackness that ren- 

 ders them extremely enticing. For the South its 

 value can scarcely be overestimated, and its early 

 ripening brings it into market at a time when it has 

 no competitors. The statement has been made by 

 some that this variety is not hardy, and we find it 

 explained by the fact of Brunton's Early having been 

 sent out in many instances by unscrupulous parties 

 for it. Doz.. :ioQ- 100. Si. 00; 1000. $8.00. 



liAW'TOlN (New Rochelle.)~An old favorite, 

 esteemed for its productiveness and large size. 

 Delicious when fully ripe.but turns black in advance 

 of ripening. Season medium to late. Doz.. 50c; 100, 

 S1.50; 1000. SIO.OO. 



ITIinneAvaski.- An early blackberry of consid- 

 erable value in the neighborhood of its home in the 

 Hudson River fruit district. It has not been planted 

 so largely as many other sorts and is perhaps not so 

 well adapted to such a wide range of country, but it 

 possesses sufficient good qualities to render it valti- 

 able both for market and for the home garden. Its 

 canes are hardy and productive and the fruit is large 

 and of good quality. Doz., 50c; 100, $3.00; 1000, 820.00. 



blackberries and has now superceded all other kinds. 

 For several seasons past the demand for plants of 

 this variety has been so great that we have been un- 

 able to supply them in sufficient quantity. The canes 

 are of ironclad hardiness, of the strongest gro^vth. 

 quite free from rust, double blossom and all other 

 diseases, and wonderfully productive, bending the 

 robust canes to the ground with the weight of fruit. 

 The berry is of the very largest size, exceeding the 

 Wilson. Kittatinny or Lawton, of excellent quality, 

 handsome and firm. In shape it is almost round, 

 which gives it the appearance of being larger than 

 it really is, and very uniform both in size and shape. 

 The Erie somewhat resembles Lawton in habit of 

 growth and shape of berry, but a careful comparison 

 shows them to be quite distinct. In season of ripen- 

 ing the Erie is mm-h earlier than Lawton, the canes 

 are more vigorous in gro\\th and very much hardier. 

 There is no standard blackberry that equals it in the 

 possession of the four important properties of hardi- 

 ness, large size, earliness and productiveness, or that 

 will compare with it for general planting, either for 

 market or the home garden. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50; 

 1000, $20.00. 



Kittatinny. — Once the most popular of all 

 blackberries for general planting and it is still very 

 fine for main crop, in the home garden, or for mar- 

 ket in some locations, but it is not safe from winter- 

 killing north of the latitude of New York City, and of 

 recent years it has become badly affected with the 

 "rust" or blackberry fungus. The berries are large, 

 handsome, and of delicious flavor; canes of strong, 

 erect growth and productive. Season medium to late. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50: 1000. $10.00.
