BLACKBERRIES 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, provided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



In field culture, plant in rows from five to seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 

 variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In the garden, plant in rows five feet apart and the 

 plants three feet apart in the rows. 



Our blackberry plants are either root-cutting plants that have been grown from pieces of 

 roots in nursery rows, or they are heavily rooted transplanted plants. Both are far superior to 

 ordinary or sucker plants. 



JOY BLACKBERRY 

 Unites superlative quality, ironclad hardiness and great productiveness. 



This "best of all" variety was introduced by 

 us nine years ago and is rapidly superseding 

 all other sorts. Joy may be briefly described 

 as follows: Canes of stocky, vigorous habit (so 

 stout and strong it needs no staking), with 

 abundant large five fingered leafage; yields very 

 heavily every year and all the canes are loaded 

 with fruit. We have never known any other 

 variety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, with 

 such an inherent propensity to bear fruit as the 



It has endured a temperature of twenty-four 

 degrees below zero unharmed; and is apparent- 

 ly immune to "Orange Rust," "Double Blos- 

 som" and all other diseases of the Blackberry. 



The berries are large and almost as thick 

 through as they are long — -a characteristic of 

 the variety — and are coal black. In rich, lus- 

 cious flavor, it surpasses all other Blackberries. 

 It is not an early variety, ripening in midsea- 

 son ; with Ward. Blowers and Mersereau. 



Joy Blackberry. 



It 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; 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



EARLY HARVEST.— An old variety and a 

 favorite especially with western and south- 

 western growers. The mild, sweet berries are 

 rather small but firm and symmetrical. Ripens 

 very early; sometimes suffers from winter in- 

 jury in the North. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 

 1,000, $40.00. 



100, $7.50; 1,000, $60.00. Transplanted plants, 



HIMALAYA.— Almost a climber, with ex- 

 tremely long canes, which grow best over 

 stakes or an arbor. At our nurseries it has 

 been a shy yielder and the berries are small, 

 but of sweet, brisk flavor. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00.
