BLOWERS 



In this we have a large productive and 

 hardy Blackberry. Blowers is a sturdy grower 

 (the canes, if unchecked, attain a height of 

 ten to twelve feet on fertile soil). It yields 

 very heavily and for a long season. The fruit 

 is handsome as well as large, and is of superb 

 (juality. Its canes have endured a tempera- 

 ture of twent\' degrees below zero unharmed, 

 and it has yielded at the rate of 280 bushels 

 per acre. We have had this variety in bearing 

 for several years and think better of it all the 

 time. It begins to ripen in midseason and con- 

 tinues for a long time. R. C. plants, dozen, 

 75c.; 100, S3. 50. Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $4.50. 



'-^ EARLY HARVEST 



A well-known variety and largely grown in 

 the west and southwest. Berries rather small, 

 of pretty form, firm 

 and of mild, sweet fla- 

 vor. It ripens very 

 early (by July 4th at 

 the north) and the 

 canes are very proli- 

 fic. We do not recom- 

 mend it for locations 

 north of the latitude 

 of Xew York City, as 

 it is sometimes injured 

 in winter -where the 

 mercury falls lower 

 than ten degrees below 

 zero. R. C. plants, 

 doz., 75c.: 100. $3.00. Transplanted, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $4.00. 



HIMALAYA 



A giant, indeed, in growth. Although of de- 

 lightfully sweet, brisk flavor, at Monmouth 

 the berries are small and the yield has been 

 unsatisfactor3\ We have, however, received 

 so many letters from patrons commending it 

 highly that we deem it proper to revise our 

 description of it. Tfie canes are tremendous 

 growers, hardy and with some, at least, are 

 enormously prolific. Berries jet black, very 

 firm, but rather small. Ripens late. Tip 

 plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50. Transplanted 

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

 cent white, sweet and 

 tender and are borne 

 very profusely in clus- 

 ters. A unique variet}

 Midseason. The blos- 

 soms are lacking in 

 pollen and it should be 

 planted near some other 

 variety in order to yield 

 freely. R. C. plants, dozen 75c 

 Transplanted plants, dozen. $1.00; 100, $5.00. 

 KENOYER 



100. $4.00. 



A very early and entirely hardy Blackberry 

 of good size and excellent quality; hence, a va- 

 riety of great value. At ^lonmouth it is ripe 

 by July 1st. In the i)ast Early Harvest has 

 been the variety- chiefly planted for early 

 Blackberries. Kenoyer gives berries nearly 

 double the size of it, ripens a few days earlier 

 and the canes are absolutely hardy.

 planted plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50.
