Ancient Briton. One of the best of the hardy varieties. 

 Very vigorous, healthy and hardy; fruit stems loaded with 

 good sized berries of fine quality, carry well to and fetch 

 highest price in market. For general planting for homes or 

 market in all sections subject to severe winters, the Ancient 

 Briton is recommended as a first-class variety. 



Blowers. Originated in the celebrated small fruit belt of 

 Chautauqua County, N. Y., where it has been thoroughly 

 tested for several seasons. Claimed to be the hardiest, most 

 productive, the finest quality, and to bring on the market 

 the highest price of all blackberries. Has produced 2694 

 berries on one bush, 2720 quarts on 1-3 acre. Large size, 

 jet black, good shipper, best quality ; unexcelled productive- 

 ness are the main characteristics of this splendid new sort. 

 By mail, 15 cts.; 15 for $1.50; 100 for $6.75. 



Early Harvest. Not entirely hardy in the north and needs 

 winter protection. Its earliness, combined with good 

 shipping qualities, make it very profitable. Compact 

 dwarf grower, enormous bearer. Fruit medium size, black, 

 of excellent quality. 



Eldorado. The vines are very vigorous and hardy, enduring 

 the winters of the far. northwest without injury, and their 

 yield is enormous. Berries large, jet black; borne in large 

 clusters, and ripen well together, they are very sweet, 

 melting and pleasing to the taste; have no hard core, and 

 keep eight or ten days after picking with quality unimpaired. 

 By mail, 15 cts.; 15 for $1.50; 100 for $6.75. 



Mersereau. Remarkably strong grower, upright, producing 

 stout, stocky canes. Claimed to be the hardiest blackberry, 

 standing uninjured 20 degrees below zero without protec- 

 tion. An enormous producer of extra size berries which are 

 brilliant black and retain their color under all conditions; 

 extra quality; sweet, rich, melting, without core. 



Miller. Originated by D. J. Miller, who devoted many years 

 of his life to the improvement and introduction of fruits, 

 originating some of the best varieties of peach, strawberry 



and other fruits. The Miller is supposed to be a descendent 

 of the hardy old Taylor, crossed by some of the larger fruited 

 sorts — was grown by Mr. Miller ten years before 

 we bought the entire stock. One of the finest 

 large blackberries, hardy and very prolific; canes 

 strong and robust, has produced fruit 

 one inch in diameter and one and one- 

 half inches long. Fruit dark color, 

 \ sweet and juicy, no core. Mail size, 



25 cts., 10 for $1,50; 25, $3,50 

 Ohmer. Hardy, late, large, 

 productive; finest flavor. 

 ; ; * -\ _ - Snyder. Extremely hardy, 



enormously productive, me- 

 dium size, no hard, sour core, 

 sweet and juicy. The lead- 

 ing variety where hardiness 

 is the consideration. Ripens 

 early. 



Taylor. Berries of fine flavor 

 larger than Snyder. Canes of 

 vigorous growth, iron-clad 

 hardiness and wonderfully 

 prolific. Ripens late. A 

 1 fine companion for Snyder in 

 cold sections. 



Ward. Undoubtedly a seedling of the Kittatinny, which it 

 resembles, having all of its good qualities and none of its 

 defects. A healthy, strong grower, with sturdy canes pro- 

 ducing fine large fruit, black throughout, without core, and 

 of excellent quality. Has never suffered from winter injury 

 in New Jersey. An exceedingly prolific sort, the bushes 

 being covered with its fine fruit, producing as many bushels 

 per acre as the Wilson in its prime. 



Wilson. A magnificent, large, very early, beautiful berry of 

 sweet, excellent flavor. Ripens evenly, holds its color well 

 and brings highest market price. Strong grower, exceeding- 

 ly productive. 



Blower Blackberry 



Lucretia. It equals any of the tall-growing sorts. Per- 

 fectly hardy, healthy and remarkably productive, with 

 large, showy flowers. The fruit, which ripens early, is 

 often one and one-half inches long by one inch in diameter; 

 soft, sweet and luscious throughout. By mail, 10 cts.;
