J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— BLACKBERRIES 21 



BLOWERS. — Like the good friend and true, ELDORADO. — Especially valued for its sweet- 



this improves in one's estimation the better it ness of fruit and hardiness of cane. The berries are 



becomes known. In it we have a large productive of medium size, glossy, jet black, mild, sweet, and 

 and absolutely hardy^Blackberry. 



Blowers is a sturdy grower (the canes, if un- 

 checked, attain a height of ten to twelve feet on 

 fertile soil; and is "as hardy as an oak." The 

 Blowers yields very heavily and for a long season. 

 The fruit is handsome as well as large, and is of 

 superb quality. Its canes have endured a tem- 

 perature of twenty degrees below zero unharmed, 

 and it has yielded at the rate of 280 bushels per acre. 



I have had this variety in bearing for several 

 years and think better of it all the time. Canes of 

 even stronger growth than the famous Ward, 

 equally prolific, and the berries are slightly larger. 

 It begins to ripen in mid-season and continues for 

 a long time.

EARLY HARVEST.— A well-known variety and 

 largely grown in the west and southwest. Berries 

 rather small, of pretty form, firm and of mild, sweet 

 flavor. It ripens very early (by July 4th at the 

 north) and the canes are very prolific. Sometimes 

 injured in winter at the north.

ICEBERG. 



introduced. 



— The best white blackberry as yet 

 The berries are translucent white, 

 sweet and tender and 

 are borne very profusely 

 in clusters. A unique 

 variety. The fruit of 

 this variety, mingled with 

 black ones, presents a 

 beautiful and appetizing 

 dish. Not entirely hardy 

 at the far north. Mid- 

 season. The blossoms 

 are lacking in pollen and 

 it should be planted near 

 some other variety in 

 order to yield freely.

MERSEREAU.— An excellent variety intro- 

 duced by me some fifteen years ago. The canes 

 are of ironclad hardihood and the berries are of 



good size and of excellent quality. Formerly, it 

 was not productive enough to suit me on some soils 

 but of late years it has proved to be exceedingly 

 prolific and profitable with many growers, who 

 regard it as the best variety in general cultivation.
