Two Hills of Dewberries Tied to a Stake. 



LUCRETIA DEWBERRY.— The best of the blackberry family and decided 

 ly the mot-t productive. The berries are far larger, and incrnparably better 

 than any blackberry and of umqualled excellence, sweet and luscious through- 

 out of brightest, gloss> b>ack color. The Lucretia Dewberry has received the en- 

 dorsement and high* si praise from the best horticulturist in the country. Its 

 •minent succesH in all 6oils from Maine to California, trom Minnesota to Florida 

 is something phenomenal in small fruit culture It* trailing habit renders it 

 *f88 liable to winder kill Dew berries should be planted in rows 5 or 6 feet apart 

 and ir<>m 2i to 3 reet apart in the row Planted 2 feet 9 inches apart in rows. 6 

 feet apart, it will require 2500 p'antp per acre Dewberries b»-ar considerable 

 better if staked, which can be done by driving a A\ foot stake between each alter 

 n-oe hill, leaving about 'Si feet above ^r und and ti> ing two hills to one stake 

 as in above illustration which v as drawn from a photograph taken in my field 

 at«d is no exa. geratmn of a well gro^n hill of d-w berries The vines shn uld b- 

 allowed to run on the ground until a'l dang-r of winter killing is over bu 

 should be tied up earlv in the spring before the bads get to large or you may 

 rub many of them off in handling and thus injure \our crop Some co not 

 stake the n i at. all bur simply ke» p th« vines cut bick to a ><mr two fVet in length, 

 thi- is a cheaper way to gTOW th« m but the berries are b -d to find in picking and" 

 main of them are apt t<> be left from ti >.e to time and get too ripe and thev are 

 Tso often spoiled by getting full of dirt and grit. Price of lucretia the b. S f 

 variety by express or freight f i>. h. Salisbury. $1.00 pet 10 : (5.00 per I600 

 2u.0<' per 5000; $85 00 p>r 10 000, I also have a f-w Austin^ Dewbem plants
