BLACKBERRIES 



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. 



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. 



We believe we have this season the finest and largest supply of root-cutting and transplanted 

 blackberry plants of any concern in the United States. 



THE JOY BLACKBERRY 



Unites superlative quality, ironclad hardiness and great productiveness. 



This variety was introduced by us nine years ago and is rapidly superseding all other sorts. 

 It may be briefly described as follows: Canes of stocky, vigorous habit 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 Joy Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of twenty-four degrees below zero unharmed, and has not 

 been troubled with "Orange Rust," "Double Blossom" or 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, luscious flavor it surpasses all other Blackberries. 

 Ripens in midseason with Ward, Blowers and Mersereau. 



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 offered, both for market growers and 

 for the home garden. Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



Blowers. — A variety which possesses the 

 quadruple valuable qualities of large size, pro- 

 ductiveness, absolute hardiness and very pro- 

 longed season of fruiting. Under hig;h culture 

 on fertile soil, the canes often attain a growth 

 of from ten to twelve feet if kept untrimmed. 

 It yields very heavily for a long season begin- 

 ning in midseason. The fruit is not only large 

 and attractive, but of superb quality. 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. — The excellent flavor and extreme 

 hardiness of this variety are notable. Because 

 of both of these qualities it is extremely popu- 

 lar, especially throughout the North and North- 

 west. 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 medium size, is jet black, of good regu- 

 lar 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. 



Early Harvest. — An old variety and a fa- 

 vorite, especially with Western growers. Tt 

 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, $1.00; 100, $4.50. Trans- 

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



Himalaya. — Although we have received many 

 fine reports from various parts of the country 

 relative to this variety, at our nurseries it has* 

 been a shy yielder and the berries have been 

 small, though of sweet, brisk flavor. It is a 

 climbing variety, producing long canes which 

 grow best over stakes or an arbor. 



Transplanted olants. dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 



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 as hardy as some of the black 

 varieties. As the blossoms are lacking: in 

 pollen, it should be planted* near some black 

 fruited variety in order to yield freely. 



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

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