BLACKBERRIES 



General List of Varieties 



7^ 



BLOWERS— On fertile soil canes often 

 grow to ten or twelve feet. They yield very 

 heavily and for a long season, beginning in mid- 

 season. The fruit is large, attractive and of 

 superb quality. Twenty degrees below zero 

 has not harmed it and it is a phenomenal crop- 

 per. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. 

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



BUSHEL BERRY.— In growth it resembles 

 Star or Wonder, but it appears to be somewhat 

 more vigorous. In the southern part of this 

 state, it is rapidly superseding Star or Wonder. 

 Both these varieties, of course, being of long 

 trailing growth, must necessarily be given sup- 

 port. Though a record of a bushel of fruit per 

 plant may seem phenomenal, we know this 

 variety to hold this record, on an acre patch. 

 Transplanted, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



ELDORADO. — Considered among the high- 

 est in quality of all Blackberries. Very popu- 

 lar, especially throughout the North and North- 

 west, not only on account of its quality but 

 because of its extreme hardiness. The fruit 

 is of medium size, jet black, mild, sweet and 

 melting. A good, healthy, vigorous grower. 

 Fruits early to midseason. Dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $4.50: 1.000, $40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 

 100, $6.00. 



ICEBERG. — Unquestionably the best white 

 blackberry yet produced. Clusters are borne 

 very profusely in midseason and are both sweet 

 and tender. It is not so hardy as some of the 

 black varieties. Should be planted near some 

 black fruited variety for thorough pollenization, 

 in order to yield freely. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 

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



LA GRANGE.— A very valuable variety by 

 reason of its large yield, early ripening, long 

 season of fruiting, and particularlv its fine size 

 and superb quaHty. Dozen. $1.00; 100. $6.00. 

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



MACATAWA 



Classed as an everbearing sort because of its 

 very long season of fruiting. Fruit sweet, al- 

 most seedless and entirely coreless. A strong, 

 upright grower, is tremendously prolific and 

 extremely hardy. Dozen. $1.50: 100. $7.50; 

 1.000, $60.00. Transplanted, dozen, $2.00- 100, 

 $10.00; 1.000, $75.00. 



KENOYER. — Ripens very early, with us by 

 July 1st. It is hardy and produces berries of 

 excellent quality, but not very large. Dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $45.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen. $1.25; 100, $6.00. 



TAYLOR. — A most profitable late variety. 

 Clean, healthy foliage, with berries of good 

 size, and is almost sure to produce a good 

 crop annually. Dozen. $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000. 

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

 $6.00. 



STAR OR WONDER.— This is indeed a 

 wonder. Imagine picking great clusters of 

 Blackberries from canes that resemble grape 

 vines. Over eighty quarts of berries have been 

 picked from a single plant of this variety in one 

 season. Should be trained to stakes or trellis 

 or over an arbor, as grapes are grown. 



Berries are of medium size, attractive appear- 

 ance and rich, refreshing, luscious quality; keep 

 in good condition for a long time and can be 

 safely shipped almost any distance. Ripens very 

 late. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Transplanted 

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



WARD. — A grand blackberry. A descendant 

 of the once famous Kittatinny, and the most 

 popular variety in New Jersey at the present 

 time. The canes are of strong growth, are 

 hardy, and annually yield a heavy crop of large, 

 handsome berries of first quality that always 

 command the top price in market. It is a re- 

 liable varietv and an excellent one for the home 

 garden. Dozen, $1.00; lOO, $5.00; 1,000, $45.00. 

 Transplanted, doz- 

 en, $1.50; 100, $7.50.
