GENERAL LIST OF BLACKBERRIES. 



EARLY HARVEST. One of the most valuable and 

 profitable for market on account 

 of its extreme earliness. Ber- 

 ries of small size but very uni- 

 form, of a bright, glossy black, 

 and of excellent quality. 

 While not of ironclad hardi- 

 ness it succeeds in all but very 

 cold sections, and a slight pro- 

 tection suffices for it there. 

 It is especially valuable for the 

 South and for the Pacific Coast, 

 where it thrives unusually well, 

 nnd it is a profitable early 

 variety everywhere except at 

 the Far North. Doz., 35c ; 100, 

 $1.00; 1000, $6.00. 



ELDORADO. Of unusually fine quality, rendering 

 it especially desirable for table use. It is an excellent 

 variety both in cane and fruit. The former are of iron- 

 clad hardiness, strong and productive, while the berries 

 are medium to large, glossy jet black, sweet, melting, 

 rich, and pleasant. Ripens about second early. Doz., 

 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



KITTATINNY. A choice 

 variety, well known and once 

 very popular, but its lack 

 of hardiness at the North and 

 tendency to rust, in some loca- 

 tions, have caused it to be some- 

 what less in favor. It is a 

 choice variety, however, espe- 

 cially for the home garden, with 

 irge handsome berries of deli- 

 cious flavor; canes of strong, 

 erect growth, and very prt)- 

 dnctive under good culture. 

 Its fruit is so fine in appear- 

 ance and good in quality that 

 it pays well for extra culture. 

 Midseason to late. Doz., 40c ; 

 100, *1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



LAWTON. (Mew 

 Rochelle.) A fine old favor- 

 ^ ite, justly esteemed for its 

 choice large fruit and great 

 productiveness. It is of 

 strong, vigorous growth, 

 hardy, and succeeds over a 

 wide range of country. The 

 berries are large, of deli- 

 cious quality Vihen fully 

 ripe, but turn black in ad- 

 vance of ripening and are 

 then acid. It is a reliable 

 cropper and valuable both 

 for market and for home 

 use. Midseason to late. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000. 

 $10.00. 



LOVETT. The berries are large, roundish, jet 

 black, firm, and of suj)erior quality. Canes of strong, 

 vigorous growth, and productive. It ripens early and 

 continues to bear until the close of the season. The 

 berries do not turn red after gathered in hot muggy 

 weather, as do those of many varieties. Doz., 40c ; 100, 

 $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



MAXWELL. The berries are as large as Wilson's 

 Early, glossy black, sweet, rich, and luscious, melting in 

 the mouth — no core whatever. Canes exceedingly pro- 

 lific, strong and stocky, entirely free from rust and all 

 other disease. It ripens almost as early as Early Har- 

 vest and is superior to it in quality. Every home garden 

 should contain it for its earlv, finely flavored fruit. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



SNYDER. A popular early sort for planting at the 

 North and North- 

 west; its extreme 

 hardiness of cane 

 rendering it valu- 

 able for cold cli- 

 mates. It is very 

 productive, and 

 though the ber- 

 ries are but me- 

 diiim in size they 

 are of good qual- 

 ity, sweet and 

 juicy, and, when 

 fully ripe, are 

 withoiit hard 

 core. It is largely 

 planted, and is 

 the best early 

 blackberry for ex- 

 treme Northern 

 locations where 

 other varieties 

 winter -kill, its 

 earliness and pro- 

 diTctiveness ren- 

 dering it profitable and desirable. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 

 1000, $8.00. 



TAYLOR'S PROLIFIC. Like 

 Snyder, of unusual hardiness of cane, 

 and, ripening later, it makes an ex- 

 cellent companion for it in cold loca- 

 tions, where hardiness is of more 

 importance than large size of berry. 

 The canes are of strong growth and 

 very prolific; berries of good size, 

 larger than Snyder, and exceedingly 

 sweet and rich. Midseason to late. 

 Doz.. 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



OHMER. Large, late, and profit- 

 able. In both cane and fruit it is all 

 that can be desired; canes vigorous, 

 strong, hardy, and very productive, 

 with tough, ' healthy foliage. The 

 berries are large, jet black, glossy and attractive, firm, 



and good. Doz., 40c; 



The well-known 



and of sweet, rich flavor, tender 

 100. $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 

 Vl^lLSON'S EARLY (true) 



market variety still popular in 

 many localities for its fine 

 berries and earliness in ripen- 

 ing, biit has become so badly 

 mixed and deteriorated that it 

 has been superseded by other 

 sorts. I have the true variety — 

 absolutely pure. The berries 

 are large, long, and of good 

 quality; canes slender, not very 

 hardy, but productive. A prof- 

 itable and desirable sort 

 where the winters are not too 

 severe. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.50: 

 1000, $10.00. 



Vi^ILSON JUNIOR. Aseed- 

 ling of Wilson's Early, and is 

 very like its parent in every way, uniting extra large 

 size, earliness, and productiveness with fine appearance 

 and superior shipping and keeping properties. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $1.50: 1000, $10.00.
