Nanticoke. A dandy 



ar near-by markets 



BLACKBERRIES, continued 



ular variety, with berries equally large, beautiful 

 and firm. Ripens at the same time as its sup- 

 posed parent with all of its good qualities of keeping 

 shipping, etc. 



Robinson. This variety first came to my notice 

 from growers in the Ozark regions. I notice lately 

 a great deal is being said about its wonderful merits 

 in the farm and fruit papers of the West. I have not 

 fruited it yet, but it is said to be large, of the best 

 quality, hardy and wonderfully productive. It is 

 at least worthy of a trial, and I am pleased to be in 

 a position to furnish a few very nice plants to those 

 desiring them. 



Snyder. Berries of medium size, but borne in 

 great abundance, literally covering the bush with 

 sweet and juicy fruit. Its season is early, and its 

 great hardiness of canes renders it valuable for cold 

 as well as warm climates. It is a great berry, and 

 no one will go wrong in planting it. 



Ward. A seedling of the Kittatinny and closely 

 resembles it in color. It was found growing wild in 

 New Jersey, and its finefruit, green, healthy foliage 

 and strong canes loaded with enormous crops of 

 large berries, attracted much attention and com- 

 ment. It is a variety of great merit and has now 

 been fruited for a number of years and bears large 

 crops annually. 



Watt. The plant is an excellent grower, much 

 better than Eldorado and fully equal to Blowers. 

 The wood is of very fine texture and so tough that 

 the branches rarely ever split down with its load 

 of fruit. Its habit of growth and productiveness 

 are such as to commend it to all who cultivate 

 Blackberries. It extends over a long season of ripen- 

 ing, beginning soon after the earliest and continuing 

 until very late. The fruit is large, jet black, glossy 

 and attractive, and the quality is excellent. I do 

 not warrant it to be proof against insects and 

 diseases of the Blackberry, but I believe it will 

 resist their attacks as well as any, and better than 

 the most of them. A good, reliable variety that no 

 one need hesitate to plant. 



He Says Allen's Plants Beat the World 



We ordered a few thousand plants from you last 

 year, all of which gave perfect satisfaction. My son 

 set out i. ooo Dewberries very close together, thinking 

 only part would grow, but every one grew. He says 

 "Allen's strain of plants beats tha world." Wish 

 you the surcess your efforts 

 deserve. — C. M. Gardner
