^"SSn?"' Blackberries-Continued 



Blowers. — A variety which possesses the quartet of valuable qualities : 

 Large size, productiveness, absolute hardiness and very prolonged season of 

 fruiting. It yields very heavily for a long period beginning in mid- 

 The fruit is not only large and attractive, but of superb 

 Twenty degrees below zero has not harmed it and it has 

 yielded at the rate of 280 bushels per acre. 



R, plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, 

 $45.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



BUSHEL BERRY. — In growth it resembles Star or 

 Wonder, but it appears to be somewhat more vigorous; hence, 

 in common with that variety, needs stakes or trellises for 

 support. A record of a bushel of fruit per plant on an acre 

 patch. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. Trans- 

 planted, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



EARLY HARVEST.— An old variety and a 

 favorite, especially with Western and Southwestern 

 growers. The mild, sweet berries are rather small but 

 firm and symmetrical. Ripens very early. 

 R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00 

 Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



Eldorado. — The excellent flavor and extreme hardiness of 

 this variety are notable. Among its other good points might 

 be mentioned its early and rather long season of fruiting; its 

 healthy and vigorous growth; and the attractiveness of its 

 fruit, which, though of but mediimi size, is jet black, of 

 good regular form and of mild, sweet and melting flavor. 



Macataum — A tconderful bearer of quality 

 berries on any soil^ any season, anytchere! 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. Tran^lanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $6.00. 



Macatawa 



(See illustration herewith) 



This is frequently classed as an everbearing sort because of its 

 very long season of frviiting. For many weeks it produces fruit 

 which is sweet, almost seedless and entirely coreless. The 

 plants are strong, upright growers, tremendously prolific and 

 extremely hardy. 



Macatawa is one of those relatively rare sorts that are 

 not particular as to soil and season. It thrives in a great 

 variety of soils, does equally well in poor or favorable sea- 

 sons and the fruits are always of uniformly good quality. 

 Particularly useful for the man who grows for market. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50; 1,000, $60.00. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, 

 $10.00; 1,000, $75.00. 



HIMALAYA.— Almost a climber, with 

 extremely long canes, which grow best over 

 stak^ or an arbor. The berries are small, but 

 of sweet, brisk flavor. Transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



Iceberg. — Unquestionably the best white 

 blackberry as yet produced. Clusters of the 

 white, translucent berries are borne very pro- 

 fusely in midseason and are both sweet and 

 tender. It is not so hardy as some of the 

 black varieties. As the blossoms are lacking 

 in pollen, it should be planted neai some 

 black-fruited variety in order to yield freely. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $7.50. 



Kenoyer. — Ripens very early, with us by 

 July 1st. It is hardy and produces berries of 

 exceUent quality, though not very large. It 

 is proljably the best extra early variet;>'. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 

 1,000, $45.00. Transplanted plants, 



dozen. $1.25; 100, $6.00 Texas Everbearing
