R. C. preceding the price of plants signifies the plants offered were grown from pieces of 

 roots in the nursery rows and are far superior to ordinary or sucker plants.

JOY BLACKBERRY, FROM A PHOTOGRAPH 



After many years of thorough testing, we were convinced that "Joy" would prove to be an 

 appropriate name for this variety and our judgment has been confirmed by the fact that during the 

 eight years since its introduction by the Alonmouth Nursery it has become, in the opinion of growers, 

 both commercial and home, the pre-eminent Blackberry. 



The printed word seems lame in picturing it; but a brief summary of its habits fellows: 

 Stocky, vigorous canes, so stout they need no staking, with luxuriant five-fingered leafage, all yield 

 each year very abundantly ; in fact, are all so loaded with fruit we unhesitatingly say we have 

 never known any other variety to equal its prolific quality. 



The large coal-black berries are almost as thick though, as they are long, a characteristic of 

 the variety; and they surpass all others in their rich, luscious flavor. 



Growers need have little fear of its winter-killing, for it has endured, unharmed, a tempera- 

 ture of twenty-four degrees below zero; and no fear of the usual Blackberry diseases, like "Orange 

 Rust" or "Double Blossom," for with us it has been entirely immune to these. Ripens in mid-season, 

 with Ward, Blowers and Mersereau. 



Root cutting plants, dozen, $1.25: 100, $6.00; 



BLOWERS. — Those who have grown it con- 

 tinue doing so, and many insist upon only "Blow- 

 ers," for it possesses the quadruple valuable quali- 

 ties of large size, productiveness, absolute hardi- 

 ness and a very prolonged season of fruiting. 



On fertile soil the canes often grow to ten or 

 twelve feet, if unchecked. It yields very heavily 

 and for a long season, beginning in midseason. 

 The fruit is large, attractive and of superb qual- 

 ity. Twenty degrees below zero has not harmed 

 it and it has yielded at the rate of 280 bushels 

 per acre. 



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

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



ELDORADO. — Boasts numerous good quali- 

 ties, but the excellent flavor and extreme hardiness 

 of this variety are notable. Because of both these 

 qualities it is very popular, especially throughout 

 the North and Northwest. 



Among its other good points are to be men- 

 tioned its early and rather long season of fruit- 

 ing ; its healthy vigorous growth, and the at- 

 tractiveness of the fruit, which is of medium size, 

 jet black, good regular form, and is mild, sweet 

 and melting. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100. $4 50: 1.000. 

 $40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 



1.000, $50 00. Transplanted, dozen. $1.50; 100. $7.50. 



EARLY HARVEST.— An oM variety and a 

 favorite, especially with Western growers. It 

 ripens very early, but sometimes is injured in 

 winter at the North. The mild, sweet berries are 

 small, but firm and symmetrical. 



R. C. plants, dozen, $100; 100, $4.50. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $5.00. 



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. 



Heavy tip plants, dozen. $1.25 ; 100, $6.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



ICEBERG. — Each home garden should boast 

 some white blackberries, and this is unquestion- 

 ably the best yet produced. Clusters of the white 

 translucent berries are produced very profusely 

 in midseason and are both sweet and tender. 

 Alone, or with the fruit of the black varieties, a 

 beautiful and appetizing dish may grace the table. 

 It is not as hardy as some of the black varieties. 

 As the blossoms are lacking in Dollen, it should 

 be planted near some other variety in order to 

 yield freely.
