Some very strong claims are made for this new 

 | blackberry! viz: as large or larger than Wilson's 

 I larly and to ripen as early as Early Harvest. 

 I The canes are low but strong stocky growers, 

 I apparently free from rust, double blossom or 

 I ether disease. Fruit claimed to be very large, 

 sweet, rich, luscious, without any core what- 

 ever. In view of its great promise it is well 

 worthy of general trial. This should prove a fine 

 eompanion to Ohmer. Doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00.

A new variety from the same source as the Gregg 

 raspberry; the successor which should be a guaran- 

 tee of the worth of any other introduction of itsdis-

sem Inator. In this case, the bearing of his own name 

 is an evidence of his high opinion of the variety and 

 his judgment is that of an experienced fruit grower. 

 He describes it as a very strong grower, productive 

 and hardy; berries very large, firm, and of sweet, 

 fine flavor. We strongly recommend it for trial. 

 Ripens late. Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



EARLY KING. 



Unexcelled for the home garden by reason of 

 its extreme earliness and very fine quality. The 

 berries are not of the largest size, but they 

 are larger than Early Harvest and their de- 

 licious flavor more than recompenses for that 

 deficiency. The canes are of strong growth, 

 hardy and prolific. This should certainly be in- 

 cluded in all assortments for family use. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $20.00. 



GENERAL LIST. 



If to be sent by mail add 10 cents per dozen ; 50 cents per 100 additional for postage. 



, EARLY HAR- 

 VEST.- The earli- 

 est blackberry except 

 Early King, and ri- 

 pening the 4th of 

 July at Monmouth. 

 Its very attractive 

 appearance, firmness 

 and productiveness 

 ' render it eminently 

 profitable for market 

 growing. 



The berries are not 

 of the largest size, 

 but very uniform and a bright glossy black. Its 



extreme earliness,however,more than compensates 

 for its lack of size and in many localities it has 

 proved the most profitable blackberry grown. For 

 the South it Is especially valuable. It is not very 

 haidy, but succeeds in all except very cold sec- 

 tions, and a very light protection suffices for 1$ 

 there. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $7.00. 



Crystal White.— Berries of a fine translu- 

 cent white, of good 

 size, sweet and 

 pleasant. Canes are 

 of a pale green 

 color, of strong 

 growth, exceeding- 

 ly prolific but not ; 

 ent irely hardy.: 

 Should be planted j 

 near other sorts to ! 

 fruit well as its 

 blossoms are pistil- 

 late. Dozen, 50c; 

 100, $2 00.
