BLACKBERRIES (co»ti«««o 



In field culture, plant in rows from five to seven 

 feet apnrt (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. 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, pro- 

 vided cash is sent for postage. See table, page 64. 

 Please note: Our blackberry plants are either 

 Root-Cutting plants that have been grown from 

 pieces of roots in nursery rows, or they are heavily 

 rooted transplanted plants. Both are far superior 

 to ordinary or sucker plants, which we do not grow ! 

 Our stock of heavilv rooted, bearing age transplanted 

 plants was never better ! 



JOY BLACKBERRY — A unique combina- 

 tion of absolutely proven hardiness backed by 

 an ironclad constitution. A prolific bearer of 

 super-quality berries. (Sec illustration above.) 



Twelve years have passed since we first introduced 

 Joy and we assure you that it has been a great joy 

 to us to be identified with such a masterpiece among 

 berries as Joy has proved. Frankly, no other 

 variety, either among Blackberries or Raspberries, 

 bears the tremendous crops of delicious fruit that 

 we have gathered from Joy. 



Back of all this is a sturdy constitution. Stocky, 

 vigorous canes bear abundant, heavy foliage and 

 the cones 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 market garden. The characteristic that makes 

 it most valuable for market gardening is its endurance of 

 -zero climates 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. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



BLOWERS— (See illustration alongside.) On fertile 

 soil, canes often grow to ten or twelve feet. They yield very 

 heavily and for a long season, beginning 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 trailing growth it should 

 be staked like grapevines. Known to have yielded 

 a bushel of fruit per plant, on an acre patch. Strong 

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



EARLY HARVEST — An old variety and a 

 favorite, especially with western and southwestern 

 growers. The mild, sweet berries are rather small 

 but firm and symmetrical. Ripens very early; some- 

 times suffers from winter injurv in the North. 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. Trans- 

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



ELDORADO — Among the highest in quality. 

 Very popular, especially throughout the North and 

 Northwest, on account of its extreme hardiness and 

 vigor. Berries of me- 

 dium size, jet black, 

 mild, sweet, and 

 melting. Fruits 

 early to mid- 

 season. Dozen, 

 $1.00;100,$4.50; 

 1,000, $40.00. 

 Trans- 

 planted, 

 dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, 

 $6.00.
