My stock of dewberry plants is one of the largest and cer- ever, that dewberries start to grow very early in the season, 



tair.'.y equal to the best in the country. ar.J I shall be pleased and should be ordered an J -I just asearly as you can 



to have your order for whatever you plant, whether a dozen possibly work the ground. Northern c-jstomers should order 



irtdred thousand. two or three weeks before they car. plant, as they can bed 



Plants will be ready to ship any time from the time you plants somewhere convenient, and they will be in better shape 



get this catalogue until the season :s over. Bear in mind, how- than if shipped late. 



BLACKBERRIES. 



My stock of blackberry plants is not 

 over and above large, but I have some 

 very n!ce stock which I can offer by the 100 

 or under. I have added biaekberries to 

 my list owing to the fact that we have had 

 quite a number of calls from our custom- 

 ers who want them to grow in their gar" 

 dens or in a small way. If the demand 

 calls for it, we will propagate more in the 

 future, 



WARD.— This is doubtless a seedling 

 of Kittatinny, which it closely resembles. 

 It is vigorous, hardy and free from rust. 

 It was found growing wild in Monmouth 

 county, N. J.; its fine fruit, strong canes, 

 clean, healthy foliage, loaded with enor- 

 mous crops of large berries, soon attracted 

 attention. It has now been fruited for 

 several years, bearing large crops annually 

 of handsome berries ; very hghly recom- 

 mended at a recent meeting of the New 

 Jersey State Horticultural Soc'ety. It is 

 doubtless a variety of great merit. 



KENOYER.-Is said to be the earliest 

 of blackberries and remarkable in its abili- 

 ty to resist drouth, beat and cold. It origi- 

 nated ir. Kansas, a section where the con- 

 ditions are so destructive to blackberries 

 that but few varieties survive. It is be- 

 lieved to bea cross between the Early Har- 

 vest and Kittatiny. Ita valuable proper- 

 ties may be summarized as follows : "Ear- 

 liest of all blackberries, ripens several days 

 in advance of Early Harvest, of excellent 

 quality and good size, much larger than 

 the Early Harvest : in color is a rich glossy 

 black and has small seeds; clings well to 

 the stem, and is very productive, hardy 

 and free from disease." It ia claimed to be 

 so drouth resisting that it will mature its 

 crop perfect when others become shriveled 

 and drier?, on the canes : canes stalky with 

 but few short th»rns. I have a few hun- 

 dred extra nice plants of these. 



SNYDER.— Berries are medium in size, 

 but are borne in great profusion, literally 

 covering the bush with fruit sweet and 

 juicy. Its great hardiness of canes ren- 

 ders it valuable to cold climates, hence 

 popular for planting in the North. Season 

 early. 



LAWTON.— An old favorite, esteemed 

 for it3 productiveness and large size. It 

 is of stalky and erect growth and free 

 from rust. The berries are large and de- 

 licious when full ripe, but turn black be- 

 fore full ripe and axe then hard and sour. 

 It succeeds over a wide range of country 

 and is one of the best standard sorts. Mid- 

 season to late.
