TRUE-TO-NAME SMALL-FRUIT PLANTS 



DEWBERRIES 



Do not plant Dewberries on too 

 rich garden soil, as they go too much 

 to \ine, with a corresponding loss of 

 fruit. For fertilizer use a small per- 

 centage of ammonia and a large per- 

 centage of potash. The plants may be 

 set in rows 5 to 6 feet apart and about 

 3 feet in the row, for \'arieties other 

 than Atlantic, which should have 

 rows 7 feet apart and be planted 5 feet 

 apart in the row. 



Some growers let their Dewberries 

 trail on the ground and keep the vines 

 back to 2 or 3 feet in length; but much 

 better results are obtained if the 

 vines are given some support, either by 

 trellis or by stakes driven between 

 ever>- alternate hill, tying one hill 

 from each side to the top of the stake, 

 which should be notched at the top 

 to prevent slipping down. Cut ofF all 

 surplus vines 18 inches beyond where 

 tied. 



We Hope You Will Be Able to Grow 

 Berries Many Years Yet 



I have been getting berries from you ever 

 since I have been planting berries and I have 

 been perfectly satisfied. I am 71 years of age 

 now. — CoHN Erskime, Hamilton Co., Ohio.

Atlantic. Free from rust; berries firm and good 



ATLANTIC 



It has always been considered that the really 

 good varieties of Dewberries have been practi- 

 cally limited to two varieties. 

 This was true until the advent of 

 the Atlantic. We have tried a 

 number of varieties of Dewber- 

 ries, and have invariably gone 

 back to Lucretia and Aus- 

 tin as the only two worthy of 

 cultivation. In the Atlantic we 

 have something decidedly new, 

 good and exceptionally valuable. 

 The berries are about the size 

 of the Snyder blackberry, jet- 

 black, of good quality, excep- 

 tionally firm; are good keepers 

 and will carrv in excellent con-
