WARD. — This is doubtless a seedling of Kittatiny, 

 and closely resembles it in growth. It is vigorous, 

 hardv and free from rust. It was found growing wild 

 in Monmouth County. New Jer.sey. Its finefruit. strong 

 canes, clean, healthy foliage, loaded with enormous 

 crops of large berries, always attract attention. It has 

 now been fruited for several years, bearing large crops 

 annually. It is doubtless a variety of great merit, and 

 one of the most reliable to plant for commercial pur 

 poses. 



SNYDER. — Its great hardiness of cane renders it 

 valuable for cold climates, and hence popular for plant- 

 '" " "" the North. Berries of medium size, but are

 seedling of the Wilson and has all the vigor and pro-

MERCEREAU. — Large size; good flavor; The ber- 

 ries are s|iarkling black, which adds greatly to their 

 market vaUn-. The canes are exceedingly strong and 

 upright in habit of growth. The foliage is large, abun- 

 dant, and entirely free from rust. Early to mid-season. 

 We can only offer this by the dozen and 100, as our 

 stock is very short. 



LAWTON". — An old favorite, esteemed for its pro- 

 duct ivmiess and large size. It is of stalky and erect 

 growth, free from rust. The berries are large and de- 

 licious when full ripe. It succeeds over a wide range 

 of country ancl is a good standard variety. Season me- 

 diiim to late.

 ducti'.c variety : lierries good size and fine quality. 



EARLY HARVEST.— Extremely early and very 

 productive, rendering it profitable and popular. Berries 

 medium in size, bright, glossy black, sweet and tender. 

 It succeeds admirably in the South and is a favorite on 

 the Pacific Coast, but is said to be not entirely hardy 

 north of New .Jersey. 



ICEBURG.— The best of the white blackberries yet 

 introduced. The berries are very attractive; when 

 fully ripe they are pure white and so transparent that 

 you can see the .se<'ds. A great curiosity. These white 

 berries mingled with black ones present a very pleasing 

 appearance on the dish.

RASPBERRIES. 



BRIDLIANT (Red). — A new red raspberry sent 

 out by W. N. Scarff, of Ohio, and is described by him 

 as follows : "Offered b.v us after thorough tests on our 

 grounds. We offer it with perfect confidence. It ripens 

 its fruit early and quick ; the entire crop is ready for 

 market while prices are high. The berries are large, 

 beautiful, brilliant, just as the name implies. Carries 



its bright red color to market and looks as fresh as 

 when first picked. A great market variety." 



PALMER (Black Cap). — ^One of the best of the 

 earlier varieties of black caps. Fruit large and good 

 size ; bush a vigorous grower and very productive.
