medium. 



SNYUER.-Valua- 



ble for the north by rea- 

 son of Its extreme hardi- 

 ness. Wonderfully pro- 

 ductive, and though the 

 berries are but small to 

 medium In slze,they are 

 of sweet julcyflavor.and 

 when fully ripe without 

 the hard core of many 

 other sorts. Until the ap- 

 pearance of the Erie this 

 was the standard early 

 sort for the North and 

 Northwest and Is stlU 

 very popular, belnfj 

 more largely planted 

 than any other of the 

 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, S9.00. 



Taylor's 

 Prolific— A 

 suitable compan- 

 ion for Snyder, 

 for it is also a va- 

 riety of great har- 

 diness and pro- 

 ductiveness, but 

 ripens somewhat 

 later. Berries are 

 very much larger 

 and of flne flavor. 

 Canes of strong 

 growth and iron- 

 clad hardiness. 

 Of especial value 

 for planting at the 

 North and desir- 

 able for its flne 

 flavor Its large 

 size, great hardi- 

 ness and wonder- 

 ful productive- 

 ness render it of 

 greatest value for 

 the North. Season 

 Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50: 1000, $10.00. 



Wilfson Junior.— Takes the place of the old- 



Wilson's Early; it possesses all its good qualities and 

 is hardier and more productive, combining size, ear- 

 liness and productiveness with the flne appearance 

 and market properties of that variety. It is also with- 

 out double or rose blossoms. The fruit in all respects 

 fully equals that of Its parent, Wilson's Early, which 

 it has now completely superseded; holds its bright 

 color and carries weil to market. It proves entirely 

 hardy in New Jersey, withstanding the winters here 

 without injury, quite unprotected. Doz., 50c, 100, 

 $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



WilMon'H Early.— A well known variety, once 

 the leading early blackberry and still a popular mar- 

 ket sort in many sections. It has now become en- 

 feebled by disease and there are few sources from 

 which healthy plants may be procured, hence it has 

 been pretty generally superseded by better sorts. 

 Suckers: Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.50. Root 

 Cutting Plants: Doz., 50c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



DEWBERRIES. 



The Dewberry has thus far not been cultivated to any great 

 extent on account, perhaps, of the few varieties that are worth 

 growing. There is no reason, however, why people should not 

 enjoy this wholesome fruit, especially as it comes at a season 

 between the raspberries and blackberries. The best mode of 

 culture is to treat it somewhat like the strawberry and plant it' 

 In rows six feet apart with the plants three feet distant in the 

 rows, or setting the plants four feet by four. Keep the soil 

 mellow and clean. 



I.UCRETI A.— Decidedly the best of all dewberries. As 

 early or earlier than Early Harvest blackberry and larger than 

 Erie. It is a superb fruit; large and handsome, of a shining 

 jet black, melting and of a delicious quality. The plant is en- 

 tirely hardy everywhere, a healthy, strong grower, and exceed- 

 ingly productive. We can confidently recommend the Lucre- 

 tia as being a flne acquisition to the family garden and a de- 

 lightful Introduction to the blackberry season. The accom- 

 panying illustration represents medium sized berries. Root 

 cutting plants : Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. (If to be 

 sent by mail add 10c. per doz., 50c. per 100 for postage).
