AUSTINS IMPROVED DEWBERRIES. 



Austin's Improved (Mayes). — An early dewberry of excellent quality 

 and large yield, but the berries lack firmness for long shipment; hence valu- 

 able chiefly for home use and local markets. Berne? large, short and thick; 

 canes vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens fully a we?k earlier^than 

 Lucretia and for this reason is valuable to grow in connection with that'va- 

 riety. 1 have shipped many thousands of quarts of this variety to Philadel- 

 phia, 125 miles, and New York, over COO miles, and received good prices hav- 

 ing marketed over half the crop before other varieties are in the way. I al- 

 ways plant about one third of my field in this variety. It is verv hardy'and 

 never fails to give a full crop.
