Two Hills of Dewberries Tied to a Stake. 



LUCRETIA DEWDERRY— The best of the blackberry family and decided- 

 ly the most productive. The berries are far larger, and incomparably better 

 than any blackberry, and of uneqnaled excellence: sweet and luscious through- 

 out; of brightest, glossy black color The Lucretia Dewberry has received the 

 endorsement and highest praise from the best horticulturists in the country. Its 

 eminent success in all soils from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Florida, 

 is something phenomenal in small fruit culture. Its trailing habit renders it less 

 liable to winter- kill. 



AUSTIN'S DEWBERRY— This makes a stronger growth than Lucretia and 

 its canes are nearly twice as large but has the same trailing habit as the Lu- 

 cretia. The fruit is ab ut same size as Lucre Ja but of different shape, being 

 shorter and thicker. Both Lucretia and Austin Dewberries are as large as the 

 Wilson blackberry. The Lucretia is three or four days earlier than Early Har- 

 vest blackberry, and are two-thirds gone when Wilson commences to ripen, and 

 Austin's is nearly or quite a week ahead of Lucretia, but not as good a shipper, 

 being softer; but for a near market where earliness counts for more than firm- 

 ness,- Austin's will fill the bill. An average yield of ei her variety is one quart 

 per hill, but under favorable conditions this may be exceeded 50 per cent or even 

 more. Price of plants, either variety, 50 cents per dozen by mail post paid-, $1.00 

 per 100, or $5.00 per 1000 by express or freight, receiver to pay charges.
