LA GRANGE 



This is unique in its habit of growth, sending 

 out fruit stems from the ground up, each stem 

 having abundant foliage. UnHke other varieties, 

 which as a rule produce the fruit at the ends of 

 the canes and stems (hence is frequently scalded 

 by exposure to the sun), the fruit of La Grange 

 ripens in the shade, and is, therefore, of supe- 

 rior quality. When the first crop of berries are 

 about two-thirds grown, a second crop of blos- 

 soms appear, thus giving a long season of fruit. 

 It begins to ripen early in July and continues 

 for four or five weeks, yielding heavily. In addi- 

 tion to the extreme hardihood of its canes, it 

 is a very valuable variety by reason of its large 

 yield, early ripening, long season of fruiting, and 

 particularly the fine size and superb quality of 

 its fruit. R. C. plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50; 

 1,000, $18.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 

 100, $3.50; 1,000, $25.00. 



MACATAWA 



The berries of this are large, sweet, coreless 

 and almost seedless. Canes of strong growth, 

 upright habit, great hardihood and are tremen- 

 dous yielders. It gives ripe fruit for such a long 

 season that it has been termed "everbearing" by 

 some growers. ^ Owing to its inherent merit it 

 is rapidly growing in favor. R. C. plants, dozen, 

 60c. ; 100, ^.50. Transplanted plants, dozen. 75c. ; 

 100, $3.50. 



MERSEREAU 



An excellent variety, introduced by us over 

 fifteen years ago. The canes are of ironclad 

 hardihood and the berries are of good size and 

 of excellent quality. Formerly it was not pro- 

 ductive enough to suit us on some soils, but of 

 late years it has proved to be exceedingly pro- 

 lific and profitable with many growers, who re- 



gard it as the best variety in general cultivation. 

 Exceptionally free from "Orange Rust" and other 

 diseases. R. C. plants, dozen. 50c.; 100, $2.00; 

 1,000, $15.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 

 100, $3.00. 



STAR or WONDER 



Although of recent origin it may well be termed 

 the Blackberry of many names, such as Star, 

 Wonder, Ewing's Wonder, Vineland, Black Dia- 

 mond, Bowerberry, Atlantic Dewberry, etc. It 

 is indeed a wonder. Imagine picking great clus- 

 ters of Blackberries from canes that resemble 

 grape vines. This is what you can do if you 

 plant the Star Blackberry. The yield is so great 

 that over eighty quarts of berries have been 

 picked from a single plant of it in one season. 



Train to stakes or trellis_ or over an arbor 

 as grapes are grown, and give plenty of room. 



Berries of medium size, attractive appearance 

 and rich, sprightly luscious quality ; keep in good 

 condition for a long time and can be safely 

 shipped almost any distance. 



It has made a brilliant record at the New 

 Jersey State Experimental Station, as jt has 

 wherever planted. It does not ripen until late. 

 R. C. plants, dozen, 60c.; 100. $2.50: 1.000, $20.00. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50. 



THORNLESS (Wachussett Thornless) 



This variety is practically without thorns or 

 spines. Canes are of good strong growth and 

 ironclad hardihood. Berries, long, jet black, 

 firm and sweet, mild flavor, but are not very 

 large nor freely produced, except under high 

 culture. Highly esteemed as an amateur va- 

 riety by many, particularly at the north. Sucker 

 plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50.
