JOY BLACKBERRIES 



Blackberries That Delight 



Standing before a well-grown, heavily laden 

 Blackberry bush, with each individual berry 

 shining like a bouquet of black diamonds, we 

 bow in admiration before one of nature's mas- 

 terpieces. And then, the more material part 

 of man will assert itself: Visions of these ber- 

 ries deluged in cream and sugar; the tempting 

 fragrance of baking blackberry pies; the 

 thoughts of jams and jellies — all these make 

 us glad that we have the room to grow Black- 

 berries galore. And you should do so, too. 



Fall is truly the ideal time to set out plants 

 and we are prepared to supply the choicest 



varieties, in the finest plant product our 

 nurseries have ever turned out. Our supply 

 of both transplanted plants and root cutting 

 plants is second to none in the country. We do 

 not offer ordinary "sucker" plants. 



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. 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, 

 provided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



JOY BLACKBERRY ^" 



This "best of all" variety was introduced by 

 us eleven 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, to 

 bear fruit as does the Joy Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of twenty-four 

 degrees below zero unharmed; and is apparent- 

 ly immune to "Orange Rust," and other Black- 

 berry diseases. 



rs superlative quality, ironclad hardiness 

 and great productiveness 



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, ripen- 

 ing 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 ofifered, both for commercial 

 growers and for the home garden. 



Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1,50; 

 100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $2.00; 

 100, $10.00.
