Joy Blackberries — A Profitable Crop Everywhere 



Blackberries Bearing Bumper Crops 



There are few greater delights which the lover of 

 fruit can imagine than a heaping big dish full of 

 delicioxis Blackberries or a steaming Blackberry 

 pie, just coming out of Milady's kitchen stove; or 

 the thoughts of ^ams and jelly on the pantry 

 shelves. It makes us jealous of the little fellow who 

 got "in a jam" because he got "at mother's jam" 

 and then mother would not punish him because 

 she thought at first he was hurt. 



Grow more Blackberries; for not only are they a 

 delightful fruit prepared in any of the various ways 

 but if you have the ground and space that you can 

 spare, you should by all means grow some Black- 

 berries for market. Everything considered. 

 Blackberries are perhaps the most reliable berry 

 crop year after year and require less ftissing, after 

 the annual priming, than any other cane fruits. 



In field culture, set the plants 3 feet apart, allow- 

 ing 5 to seven feet between the rows. We handle 

 only transplanted and Root-Cutting plants, both 

 being far superior to ordinary or sucker plants, 

 which we do not grow. Our stock of Transplanted 

 plants is heavily rooted, and is bound to give 

 gratifying results next season. 



JOY BLACKBERRY 



Unites superlative quality, ironcUid hardi 

 ness and great productiveness 



This "best of all" variety was introdu- 

 ced by us twelve years ago and is rapidly 

 superseding the older sorts. Joy may he 

 briefly described as follows: Canes of 

 stocky, vigorous habit (so stout and 

 strong it needs no staking), with abun- 

 dant large five-fingered leafage; yields 

 very heavily every year an d all the 

 canes are loaded with fruit. We have 

 never known any other variety, either 

 Blackberry or Raspberry, to bear fruit 

 as does the Joy Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of 

 twenty-four degrees below zero unharmed; 

 and is apparently immime to "Orange 

 Rust,*^ and other Blackberry diseases. 



The berries are large and almost as 

 thick through as they are long — a characteristic of 



the variety — and are coal black. In rich, luscious 

 flavor, it surpasses almost all other Blackberries. 

 It is not an early variety, ripening in midseason 

 with Ward and Blowers. 



Joy has more than "made good," as it has 

 proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to be the 

 finest and the best Blackberry for American 

 growers as yet offered, both for commercial growers 

 and for the home garden. 



Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 

 100, $7.50, 1,000, $60.0a. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 1(M), $10.00. 



Ashley B. Baker, Saratoga Co., N. Y., writes v — 

 The raspberries and blackberries bought of you 

 last fall for my home garden got a fine start and 

 have every promise of doing splendidly this season.
