Little Silver, N. J. ^gg^ Small Fruit Plants 



DEWBERRIES 



If to go by mail, add 40c. per 100 ; 

 mailed at dozen rates if desired 



Dewberries prefer a light, sandy soil, but will 

 succeed upon any except wet land. As the vines 

 trail upon the ground, it is necessary to stake 

 them or to use a mulch to prevent the fruit 

 from becoming spattered with earth and sand. If 

 to be staked, plant in rows four feet apart each 

 way; if to be mulched, plant in rows six feet 

 apart and the plants three feet apart in the 

 rows. The work of trimming, staking and mulch- 

 ing should be done in early spring, before the 

 buds have become swollen. 



LUCRETIA.— The standard Dewberry; earlier 



than Blackberries and as large as the average of 

 them. The canes are hardy and exceedingly pro- 

 lific, thriving everywhere: of slender, trailing 

 habit, and entirely free from disease and insect 

 attacks. The fruit is of fairly good quality, jet 

 black and handsome. Ships well and keeps well. 

 (See cut.) Dozen, .35c.; 100, 81.2.5; 1,000, $6.00. 



AUSTIN'S IMPROVED.— The earliest Dew- 

 berry: of excellent quality and prolific. Berries 

 large, short and thick: canes vigorous, hardy and 

 productive. Ripens fullv a week earlier than 

 Lucretia. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $6.00.
