Iceberg. — The best white blackberry yet 

 introduced. The berries are very beautiful, 

 of a snowy, translu- 

 cent white, sweet 

 and tender, borne in 

 large clusters very 

 profusely. A unique 

 variety. The berries 

 of this, mingled with 

 black ones, presents 

 a beautiful and appe- 

 tizing dish. Midsea- 

 Bon. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $2.00. Half Size 



Mersereau — The cardinal properties of the 

 Mersereau are large size, luscious flavor and 

 great hardiness of cane. It has now been 

 fully tested and has proved to be of general 

 adaptability. Berries jet black, large, luscious 

 and melting — firm enough to ship well. Canes 

 of strong growth and healthy; unfortunnately 

 it is not prolific except upon soil that exactly 

 suits it, viz., clayey loam. Season early to 

 midseason — with the Snyder but not so early 

 as Kenoyer or Earlv Harvest. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



Eathbun. — A large and beautiful Black- 

 berry that ripens early. It is of rather poor 

 quality but is very firm and ships well. When 

 first introduced it was hardy and very pro- 

 lific, but of late years it has proved unreliable 

 as a yielder, some plants bearing heavily 

 while many others produce but a meager crop 

 of imperfect berries — due, it is believed, to 

 insufficient pollen in the blossoms. The canes, 

 too, are often badly injured in winter, even 

 here in Northern New Jersey. In brief, it 



has become so unreliable of late that I can 

 no longer recommend it as a profitable variety. 

 I have a large stock of it and will be pleased 

 to quote very low prices to any one wishing 

 to purchase in quantity. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 

 1000, $8.00. 



Kittatinny. — Large, handsome berries of 

 delicious flavor. Canes strong and erect, but 

 rather tender at the North, and very subject 

 to attack of the orange rust upon its foliage. 

 Midseason. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50. 



Snyder. — Its great hardiness of cane ren- 

 ders it valuable for cold climates, and hence 

 popular for planting at the 

 North. Berries are but 

 medium in size, but are 

 borne in great abundance, 

 literally covering the bush 

 with fruit; sweet and juicy, 

 but quite seedy. Early. 

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

 $8.00. 



Taylor's Prolific. — As 



hardy as Snyder, but rip- 

 ens late; hence an excel- 

 lent companion for it in 

 cold climates. Berries of 

 good size and extra fine 

 flavor, rich, sweet and lus- 

 cious. It is one of the most 

 reliable of all blackberries 

 and never fails to mature a 

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



Wilson, Jr. — A seedling of the once famous 

 Wilson 's Early and very much like it in every 

 way. Berries large and firm; canes of slender 

 habit and rather tender in winter. It is also 

 more or less subject to the diseases of its par- 

 ent, namely, double or rose blossom, winter 

 killing, etc. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $7.00.

STEAWBEEEY-EASPBEEEY. 



This unique raspberry has been the subject 

 of much sweeping censure on account of the 



insipid character of its fruit, but, on the 

 other hand, a vast amount of admiration has 

 been expressed for the great beauty of both 

 fruit and plant. It is indeed so ornamental 

 as to be worthy of a place in the garden for 

 that reason alone. It is a true raspberry of 

 herbaceous habit, with a mass of deep green 

 foliage and large, fragrant, pure white blos- 

 soms, producing ripe berries from early in 

 July until frost. These are of great size,"' rich 

 bright crimson, and of globular shape. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50. (By mail if preferred.)

 The strawberry plants I bought of you in the spring are 

 doing beautifully. I have been so pleased with all my 

 plants that you seem to be the one I wish to ask for advice.

Bristol Co., Mass., May 7, 1907. 

 I first bought plants from you nearly thirty years ago.

 lived in the city and bought no plants.

 thing is good.
