STAR OR WONDER BLACKBERRY 

 Known also as Ewing's Wonder 



STAR OR WONDER BLACKBERRY GROWING UPON A 

 TRELLIS 



A wonder indeed! In growth, in excellence, in 

 productiveness. The canes are hke a grape vine in 

 vigor — growing under favorable conditions twenty feet 

 or more in a season; the fruit is of the very highest 

 quality and a single plant has produced over eighty 

 quarts of berries in one year. The berries are coal black, 

 extremely firm, as large as those of the Ward, or any 

 of the popular varieties, melting and of sprightly 

 flavor. It has undoubtedly descended from the widely 

 known cut-leaf or evergreen blackberry, but is unhke it 

 in flavor and ten times as productive. It holds its leaves 

 until weU into the winter and the canes are very hardy 

 and are entirely exempt from fungus and insect attacks. 



The following statement does not read like a con- 

 servative one, yet it is, and was made by conservative 

 CLUSTER OF STARBLACKBERRY.ABOUT HALF SIZE ^^en of authority. It was issued by Mr. Frankhne 



Dye, Secretary of our fetate Board of Agriculture, after 

 visiting the grounds of Mr. Ewing in company with a number of eminent horticulturists: "The Ewing's 

 Wonder Blackberry is all its name implies and exceeds in productiveness the most sanguine expectations. 

 When the promoter first told us of its growth and yield, we were decidedly skeptical and thought he was 

 romancing. A visit to the farm and to the blackberry field and inquiries made among the neighbors dis- 

 sipated all doubts. 



"The berry is of medium size, compact in structure and of the finest flavor. The plants are trained 

 upon arbors, which they outgrow rapidly unless their growth has been anticipated by the erection of a 

 capacious one, and it grows in clusters, something hke grapes. . . . Thirty-eight quarts have been picked 

 from a two-year old plant and greater yields have been reported. Runners from the parent stem usually 

 grow not less than twenty-eight feet and there are usually several of them. Farmers who give attention to 

 berry raising cannot afford to be without this plant." 



An extremely unique and valuable berry, totally unhke any other blackberry in general cultivation. 

 During the past summer I have made a careful study of it and am more firmly impressed than ever of its 

 importance.

Somerset Co., N. J., April 4, 1912. 

 Received the Giant Himalaya and St. Regis 

 Raspberries yesterday and set them out as soon 

 as received. They were in fine shape. Thanks for 

 the extra St. Regis. J. Clakk. 



Spalding Co., Ga., March 28, 1912. 

 The Raspberry plants and Himalaya plant re- 

 ceived yesterday and are entirely satisfactory. 

 Thank you very much for extra St. Regis plants.

 I will call on jou. later for small fruits. Those 

 I got from you last year were most satisfactory, 

 particularly the St. Regis Raspberry.

 The St. Regis Raspberry plants I had from 

 you in the spring of 1911 have done wonderfully 

 well this year and are the wonder of those who 

 have seen them. A quantity of fruit from them 

 has just been brought in, although we have had 

 several light frosts in our garden.

Manitowoc Co., Wis., Feb. 16, 1912. 

 The goods I purchased of you a year ago prove 

 that you sell good stock. The St. Regis bore 

 fruit from July to November. The LaGrange, 

 Blowers and Himalaya berries all did fine. We 

 had 35 to 40 below zero in January last; this 

 is winter. F. A. Heuener.
