Blackberries 



Eldorado — One of the best, especially for the 

 north and northwest on account of its hardiness. 

 Vine vigorous; berries large, black, borne in pendu- 

 lous clusters, jet black, mild, sweet and rich in 

 quality. Ripens early in midseason. Dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00; transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $6.00. 



Himalaya — The extremely long canes of this 

 variety which do best when trained over stakes or an 

 arbor put this in the climber class. Berries are small 

 but with a sweet, piquant flavor. Strong plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



Iceberg — ^( White). Unquestionably this is the 

 best white blackberry yet produced. The clusters of 

 white, almost transparent berries are very pro- 

 fusely borne in midseason, and are both sweet and 

 tender. Being lacking in pollen it should be planted 

 near some black-fruited variety in order to yield 

 freely. Root-cuttings, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 

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



La Grange — A valuable variety noted for its 

 large yields, early ripening, long fruiting season. 

 Berries of good size, and extra quality. Dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $6.00; transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



Mersereau — A hardy variety, very productive, 

 of large sparkhng black berries, of excellent quality. 

 Plants unusually free from "Orange Rust" and 

 other diseases. Ripens in midseason. Root-cutting 

 plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00; transplanted 

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



Star or Wonder— Well named, because of its 

 great yield. Over eighty quarts of berries have been 

 taken from a single plant during one season. The 

 plant is vigorous, of traihng habit, so that it is 

 trained Uke a grape vine; berries of medium size, 

 attractive, and of fine quahty. They keep in good 

 conditi9n for a long time and may be shipped to the 

 most distant markets. Ripens early. Root-cutting 

 plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; transplanted 

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



Taylor— A very profitable late variety with 

 clean, healthy fohage. Berries of large size, and pro- 

 duces a good crop regularly. Root-cutting plants, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00; trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 



Joy Blackberry 



Superlative quality y ironclad hardiness y great productiveness 



Second only to the Mount Pocono, the Joy 

 Blackberry is recommended by Lovett's Nursery 

 for honie and commercial plantations. Introduced 

 something like fourteen years ago, the Joy has con- 

 tinually increased in popularity on account of its 

 unique hardiness, and prolific crops of super- 

 quality fruit. 



The plant is of vigorous growth, canes stocky and 

 needs no staking, abundant large five-fingered 

 leaves; yields are heavy every year, and all canes 

 are loaded with fruit. We have never known any 

 other variety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, to 

 bear fruit so freely as does the Joy. 



A temperature of twenty-four below zero has 

 failed to harm it, and the plant is evidently im- 

 rnune to "Orange Rust," and other Blackberry 

 diseases. 



The individual berries are very large, as thick as 

 they are long, and coal black. Flavor is rich and 

 pleasant, surpassing most others. Ripens in mid- 

 season, with Ward and Blowers. 



For home and market Joy has made good and 

 proved beyond doubt that it is one of the finest and 

 best Blackberries for both types of growers. 



Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $7.50; 1,000, $60.00; transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $2.00; 100, $10.00.

Bought a hedge from you in the Spring 1924 North Amoor 

 Privet, and I wish you could see it after three summers, most 

 wonderfully growing. Everybody is wondering how on this 

 hill it survived as we are pretty high, my neighbors teUing 

 me it would get winter killed the 6rst winter. But it stands 

 well, covered with high snow and people going over snow
