The circumstances of soil and climate greatly influence the varieties, both in productiveness and quality, hence 

 the wide difference of opinion upon their respective merits. Of so many new varieties of which we hear and try, 

 few stand the test, or last over a year or two. We have discarded, in the following lists, the poorer kinds, and offer 

 only those that have stood a severe test. 



BLACKBERRY. 



These are rank growers, requiring an ordinary soil, with a spading of manure in the spring ; trim out the dead 

 wood in the autumn, and the end of growing shoots in the summer. Plant 3 by 8 feet apart. 



Per doz. Per 100. 



Early Dorchester. The earliest sort, good bearers $ 75 $3 00 



Early Wilson. Early, large, sweet, and productive 75 3 00 



Early Harvest. (New.) The earliest, good size, and quality 200 1400 



Kittatinny. Very large, superior quality, and productive 75 3 00 



Snyder. Early, medium berries, excellent quality, rust proof. 100 400 



Taylor. Very hardy, medium early, extra large berries 1 00 4 00 



Thornless. Good bearer, medium 4. 100 5 00 



Add 35 cts. per doz. when ordered to be sent by mail. 



CURRANT. 



These require a cool, rich ground. Plant 3 by 4 feet apart. A thorough mulching is necessary for large returns. 

 The currant worm is most effectually destroyed by dusting the bushes with powdered white Hellebore while the 

 dew is on them. 



Per doz. Per 100. 



Black Naples. Black fruit, suitable for jams, etc $1 50 $ 8 00 



Cherry. Dark red. very large fruit 1 50 8 00 



Fay's New Prolific Red. Color rich red. As compared with the Cherry Currant it is equal in 

 size, better in flavor, with much less acid, and five times as prolific ; also from its peculiar stem 

 less expensive to pick Each $1 10 00
