BLACKBERRIES 



General List of Varieties 



IN field culture, plant in rows from five 

 to seven feet apart (according to the 

 vigor of the variety) and three feet apart 

 in the rows. In the garden, plant in rows 

 five feet apart and the plants three feet 

 apart in the rows. 



JOY BLACKBERRY— A unique com- 

 bination of absolutely proven hardi- 

 ness backed by an ironclad constitu- 

 tion. A prolific bearer of super-quality 

 berries. (See illustration alongside.) 



When we first introduced this sensational 

 berry, back in 1914, we pronounced it the 

 greatest bearer of delicious fruits among 

 either Blackberries or Raspberries. Thir- 

 teen consecutive years of close observation 

 have fully confirmed our opinion and greatly 

 increased our enthusiasm concerning Joy's 

 record performances. 



Back of all stands its sturdy constitution. 

 Stocky, vigorous ca^es bear abundant, 

 heavy foliage arid the canes are literally 

 loaded with fruit,' yielding heavily year 

 after year. The individual berries are very 

 large and almost as thick through as they 

 are long. They are lovely jet black and of 

 a rich, luscious flavor. 



Joy deserves to be called the best all- 

 around Blackberry^for both home and mar- 

 ket garden. The characteristic that makes 

 it most valuable for market gardening is its 

 endurance of zero clima'tes and its apparent 

 immunity to "Orange Rust," "Double Blossom," 

 and other Blackberry diseases. Market gardeners 

 will find it a reliable crop under all conditions of 

 soils and climate. Selected root-cutting plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50; 1,000, $60.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



BLOWERS (See illustration below)— On fer- 

 tile soils, canes often grow to ten or twelve feet

BLOWERS A HEAVY, 



LONG SEASON YIELDER 



JOY BLACKBERRY — BEST ALL-AROUND 

 FOR ALL SECTIONS AND PURPOSES 



They yield very heavily and for a long season, be- 

 ginning in midseason. The fruit is large, attractive 

 and of superb quality. Twenty degrees below zero 

 has not harmed it and it is a phenomenal cropper. 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $45.00. Trans- 

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



BUSHEL BERRY— A most vigorous grower 

 which, in the southern part of this state, is rapidly 

 superseding Star or Wonder. Being of long trail- 

 ing growth it should be staked like grapevines. 

 Known to have yielded a bushel of fruit per plant, 

 on an acre patch . Strongplants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



EARLY HARVEST— An old 

 variety and a favorite, especially 

 with western and southwestern 

 growers. The mild, sweet ber- 

 ries are rather small but firm and 

 symmetrical. Ripens very early; 

 sometimes suffers from winter 

 injury in the North. Dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



ELDORADO — Among t h e 

 highest in quality. Very popular, 

 especially throughout the North 

 and Northwest, oh account of 

 its extreme hardiness and vigor. 

 Berries of medium size, jet black, 

 mild, sweet, and melting. Fruits 

 early to midseason. Dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00.
