Dewberries. 



I have now been growing dewberries for a number of years, and must can- 

 didly confess that I have found it year in and year out one of the most protita - 

 ble crops that I have ever grown. It has never failed to give me a profitable 

 crop of fruit. This is more than I can say of any other crop that I grow; com- 

 ing in as they do immediately after strawberries, and before blackberries of 

 such yarieties as, Early Harvest and Wilson, being very sweet and large, 

 they will always command a ready market at paying prices. I now have 

 in oyer 60 acres to fruit next year, which, with a fair crop, will make a 

 carload a day throughout the season, with something over during the big 

 pickings. I grow these for fruit, and not for plants, but incidentally, in 

 growing so many for fruit it is an easy matter to supply quite a great many 

 very fine plants, and we can do this cheaper than the growers who grow 

 them for plants only at £G.00 or $^.00 per M. Our stock of plants this spring 

 will consist of three or four hundred thousand, and will be extra fine, as 

 our growth is unusually strong and healthy, notwitwstanding our dry sum- 

 mer; and right here is one of its great advantages: the drought affects it less 

 than any other small fruit we grow I would advise my patrons everywhere 

 to plant a liberal supply of dewberries, as there is not one market in fifty that 

 is well supplied with this delicious fruit. It comes into bearing as quickly 

 as strawberries, producing a full crop the first year, and with only a reason- 

 able amount of care, will stand for five, ten, fifteen or even twenty years. It 

 can be planted any time during the winter when the ground is not frozen, 

 and, if planting is delayed until spring they should be planted just as early as 

 the ground can be worked owing to the fact that they start to grow very early 

 and if planting is delayed until late in the spring the young shoots get broken 

 off which makes them backward in getting started again. Dewberry plants 

 caa be shipped safely by freight anywhere in the United States if ordered early.
