PREMO DEWBERRY. 



CHESTNUT. — A new variety which I obtained 

 last spring a year ago from Texas This was highly 

 recommended to me, and I have no doubt that in a 

 warm climate it is all right. I do not believe It is 

 hardy as far north as Maryland. My observations 

 are taken from the fact that at one end of my 

 plot where they were exposed there were very few 

 berries, but at the other end where they were pro- 



tected by a pine grove they bore quite a good croe. 

 The berries were of good size, and firm. It is the earli- 

 est variety of any that I have seen. I would not ft* 

 surprised if it would not prove a satisfactory variet* 

 as far North as North Carolina. The foliage is at 

 evergreen, and it blooms and bears very early. J 

 would suggest it for trial where the winters are ml)«S

Dewberry plants should be planted very early in 

 the spring, as they start to grow early, and the 

 sooner they can be planted the better. Any time when 

 'he ground is not frozen is suitable for planting them. 

 <tven in the winter. In sections where there is no 

 ■)pen weather during the winter they should be planted

BLACKBERRIES. 



■WARD. — This is doubtless a seedling of Kittatiny ; 

 closely resembles it in growth. It is vigorous, hardy 

 and free from rust. It was found growing wild in 

 Monmouth County, New Jersey. Its fine fruit, strong 

 canes, clean, healthy foliage, loaded with enormous 

 crops of large berries, always attract attention. It 

 has now been fruited for several years, bearing large 

 crops annually. It was very highly recommended at 

 a recent meeting of the New Jersey State Horticul- 

 tural Society. It is doubtless a variety of great merit 

 and one of the most reliable to plant for commercial 

 purposes. 



ELDORADO. — This Is one of the valuable varie- 

 ties for home use or market. It is a strong, upright 

 grower, moderately full of thorns, about equal In 

 productiveness to Snyder. The fruit is jet black, 

 never coloring red after picking; fully as large again 

 as the average Snyder. The flavoring is excellent, dif- 

 fering from all others in this respect, imparting a rich 

 aroma ; rich and juicy, with but little core. This is 

 unquestionably one of the finest. Highly recom- 

 mended by experiment stations and growers every- 

 where. 



MERCEREATJ. — Large size, good flavor. The 

 berries are sparkling black, which adds greatly to their 

 market value. They remain black and do not turn 



red after being gathered. The canes are exceeding!;, 

 strong and upright in habit of growth. The foliage z's 

 large, abundant, and entirely free from rust. Earlr 

 to mid-season. 



KENOYER.— Said to be the earliest of blackber- 

 ries, and remarkable in its ability to resist drought, 

 heat and cold. It orginated in Kansas, where condl 

 tions are so destructive to blackberries that but few 

 varieties survive. It is believed to be a cress betwees 

 the Early Harvest and Kittatiny. It has not fruited 

 here, but is said to be earlier than the Early Harvest 



LAWTON, — An old favorite, esteemed for its pro- 

 ductiveness and large size. It is of stalky and erect 

 growth, free from rust. The berries are large and 

 delicious when full ripe, hut turn black before iuli 

 ripe, and then are hard and sour. It succeeds over & 

 wide range of country and is one of the best standard 

 sorts. Mid-season to late. 



ANCIENT BRITAIN.— A vigorous, ' healthy, 

 productive variety ; berries good size and fine quality. 



ICEBERG. — The best white blackberry yet Intro- 

 duced. The berries are very attractive ; when fully 

 ripe they are pure white, and so transparent that yos 

 can see the seeds. A great curiosity. These whltt 

 berries mingled with black ones present a very beac- 

 tiful appearance on the dish.
