THORNLESS BLACKBERRIES 



Now you can pick delicious blackberries at home without getting scratched and stuck with thorns. 

 Pick your own blackberries in a short-sleeved shirt. These two new introductions are very productive. 

 Ideal for "pick your own" operations and for the home garden. Our limited supply will not last 

 through the season. Order early. 



SMOOTHSTEM. Originated from seed of U. S. 1482 (Merton Thornless and U. S. 1411). The 

 seedling selected in 1958 by Dr. D. H. Scott and Dr. D. P. Ink, at Beltsville, has been evaluated in 

 fruiting plots at several locations. It ripens about August 1 at Beltsville. The fruit is large, firm, 

 blunt conic, jet-black when fully ripe, has a delicious flavor. Canes are thornless, very productive 

 and hardy in central New Jersey, central Ohio and southward. Be sure to try some in your garden 

 this year. 



THORNFREE. Originated by a cross made in 1956 of U. S. 1410 and U. S. 1414, was selected by 

 Dr. D. H. Scott and Dr. D. P. Ink, It ripens about 3 weeks later than Eldorado, and a week earlier 

 than Smoothstem. The fruit is medium large, firm, blunt conic, glossy black and has a good tart flavor. 

 Canes are thornless, not quite as vigorous as Smoothstem, but very productive in fertile soils. It has 

 been hardy in Oregon, New Jersey, Ohio, Illinois and southward. This is another good blackberry 

 that you should try.
