Mersereau — Half Size. 



MEBSEBEAU. — The cardinal properties of tlie Mersereau 

 are large size, luscious flavor and great hardi- 

 ness of cane. Berries jet black, large, luscious, melting 



and firm enough to ship well. Canes of strong growth 

 and healthy. Unfortunately it is not prolific except upon 

 soil that exactly suits it, i. e., clayey loam. Season 

 early to midseason; with the Ward, but not so early 

 as Kenoyer. Canes grow vigorously upon all soils. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50, 1,000, $12.00, 

 ICEBERG.— The best white blackberry yet introduced. 



The berries are a snowy, 

 translucent white, sweet and 

 tender, borne in large clus- 

 ters very profusely. A 

 unique variety. The berries 

 of this, mingled with black 

 ones, present a beautiful and 

 appetizing dish. Not entire- 

 ly hardy at the far north. 

 Midseason. The berries are 

 reduced one half in the cut. 

 Doz., 50c; 100, $3.00.

Its

exceptional hardiness of cane, superior quality, late- 

 ness and productiveness. Berries of good size and 

 extra fine flavor; rich, sweet and luscious. It is one of 

 the most reliable of all blackberries and never fails to 

 mature a crop. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50. 



Dewberries

They 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 sandy and unmarketable. 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 mulching should be done in early spring, before 

 the buds have started growth. 



A plant of Lucretia in Bearing. 



LUCRETIA. 



The standard dewberry; earlier than blackberries and 

 as large as the largest of them. The canes are hardy 

 and exceedingly prolific, thriving everywhere; of slen- 

 der, trailing habit, and entirely free from disease and 



insect attacks. The fruit is superb, large and hand- 

 some; jet black, rich and melting. Ships well and 

 keeps well. (See cut). Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 1,000, 

 $6.00. 



AUSTIX'S IMPBOVED.— The earliest dewberry; of ex- 

 cellent quality and large yield, but the berries lack 

 firmness for long shipment; hence valuable chiefly for 

 home use and local markets. Berries large, sliort and 

 thick; canes vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens 

 fully a week earlier than Lucretia. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 

 1,000, $6.00. 



Whitman Co., Wash., March 5, 1910. 

 The Dewberry plants I ordered from you two years 

 ago, bore their first crop last summer. They were fine^ 

 I never saw anything to beat them. One neighbor said 

 that the only way he could describe them was that you 

 could rake them up by the hatful. Mason Brown. 



New Haven Co., Conn., Jan. 16, 1911. 

 The order you sent me last spring was received in fine 

 shape, very satisfactory to me; everything grew finely. I 

 wish to place another small order with you this spring 

 and would like to have you send me your 1911' catalog of 

 Hardy Perennials. C. H. Holton. 



Independence Co., Ark., January 5, 1911. 

 I received my stock today all O. K. Thank you for 

 promptness. I want more of your goods in spring.
