BLACKBERRIES 



See important notice on rates, below 



All blackberries at these prices : 15 cents 

 each; 3 for 30 cents; 75 cents per 10, post- 

 paid. By express, not prepaid, S3. 50 per 

 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



BLACK DIAMOND. (Star.) The plants 

 are very vigorous and stocky, thus enabling 

 them to carry to maturity their immense loads 

 of perfect fruit. The foliage remains remark- 

 ably green till late in the autumn. It is also 

 free from rust. 



BLOWERS. Mammoth grower and enor- 

 mously productive. 



DALLAS. A new blackberry dewberry hy- 

 brid of great worth which is proving to be one 

 of the most valuable market sorts as well as 

 one of the best for home use. The cane is short, 

 but very vigorous- and productive; perfectly, 

 hardy, will stand 14 degrees below zero. The 

 ripening season is early and the fruit extra 

 large and fine. Makes a grand companion for 

 the new McDonald listed below. 



ELDORADO. Fruit large and of excep- 

 tional quality and productiveness. Late. 



McDONALD. This grand, new hybrid black- 

 berry dewberry ripens very early; one week 

 earlier than the Lucretia dewberry. The canes 

 trail the first year, but are strong and upright 

 from the second year on. It is entirely hardy, 

 has stood 14 degrees below zero, and its drought 

 resisting qualities are remarkable. The large, 

 extra fine fruit is of excellent quality. The 

 flower of this variety being pistillate, or imper- 

 fect, it should have astaminate, or perfect flow- 

 oring sort planted with it to pollinate; when 

 thus pollinated, it is exceedingly productive. 

 The Dallas blackberry, listed above, which 

 flowers at the same time, is the best variety to 

 plant (in the proportion of one Dallas to each 

 five McDonald) with it. 



RATHBUN. One of the finest; stands 20° be- 

 low zero. Jet black, of the best flavor. 



WARD. The best; fruit is very large; jet 

 black and of excellent quality. Productive and 

 entirely free from rust. 



LUCRETIA (DEWBERRY). Sometimes 

 called creeping blackberry. Is very hardy. 

 Ripens ahead of any of the blackberries (with 

 the exception of McDonald, listed above) . Fruit 

 134 inches long; sweet and melting. 



PREMO (DEWBERRY). Distinct and ex- 

 tra early. Large size and excellent quality.

 each; 3 for 30 cents; 10 for 75 cents, post- 

 paid. By express, not prepaid, $3.50 per

ST. REGIS EVERBEARING. Unlike any 

 other raspberry it bears a crop the first season. 

 Plants of it set out in early April gave ripe ber- 

 ries June 20th of the same year. For four weeks 

 thereafter the yield was heavy and the canes 

 continued to produce ripe fruit without inter- 

 mission until the middle of October. The ber- 

 ries were large and beautiful, firm and full 

 flavored to the very last. 



Berries are of large size, surpassing quality, 

 rich, sugary, with full raspberry flavor and 

 bright crimson in color. 



PLUM FARMER. A black cap of large 

 size. Plants are hardy, vigorous and produc- 

 tive, the berries large, good in color and qual- 

 ity. The berries ripen very early and most of 

 the crop is produced in one week. The fruit is 

 large, thick meated and firm, making a good 

 berry to ship to distant markets. 



CUMBERLAND. The largest of all black 

 raspberries. Strong grower; productive; large 

 berries; quality good; ripens in mid-season and 

 is worthy of a trial by every fruit grower; a 

 good shipper and market favorite. 



COLUMBIAN. A large blue-black sort; un- 

 excelled for productiveness. It is very hardy. 

 Fruit very large, often an inch in diameter; 

 color dark red, bordering on purple. Of rich, 

 sprightly flavor; the best for canning or evap- 

 orating. 



CUTHBERT. A strong grower and produc- 

 tive; very large, bright red; fruit firm, of very 

 fine quality; season medium to very late.

 black currant, as it has proven to be superior 

 to Black Champion. Fruit growing experts 

 have declared it to have surpassed all other 

 black currants by far. The fruit hangs on the 

 bushes for a long time after ripeDing, before 

 dropping. Berries are of sweet, rich flavor, 

 ripen early and the entire crop may be gath- 

 ered at one picking. This currant will prove a 

 money maker for the market as well as an ex- 

 cellent addition to the home garden.

 fruit; enormous bearer. One ol the best and 

 most reliable sorts for home Use and for market.
