 good keeper, ships well, and is, therefore, valuable 

 as a market berry. The plant is said to do just as 

 well on light as on heavy soils, and to bear" heavy 



crops where other varieties have failed. V«jy

 colored. Plant hardy ; ripens earlier and is more 

 productive than its parent of great size. 50 cts.

DEWBERRY, or RUNNING BLACKBERRY, 



Lucretia — The plants are perfectly healthy, and 

 remarkably productive. The fruit, which ripens 

 with the iVlammoth Cluster Raspberry, is often 1^ 

 inches long by 1 inch in diameter, soft, sweet and 

 luscious throughout, without any hard center or 

 core. As the Dewberry roots only from the tips, 

 and does not sprout like blackberries, this will be 

 much more desirable for garden culture. 10 ets. 

 each, 75 cts. per dozen. 



CURRANTS. 



This fruit comes partly with the Raspberry, but follows it sev- 

 eral weeks. Indeed, none of the small fruits will remain so long 

 upon the bushes without injury as the Currant. Set the plants 4 

 feet apart in rich ground ; cultivate well or mulch heavily ; prune 

 out old wood, so that each remaining shoot will have room to grow. 

 Manure freely. 



Black Naples— Very large, sometimes measuring half an inch in 



diameter.; fine for wine or jellies. 8 cts. each, 50 cts. per dozen. 

 Cherry — The largest of all the red currants. Berries sometimes more 



than half an inch in diameter; bunches short; plant very vigor- 

 ous and productive when grown on good soil and well cultivated. 



2 j'^ears, 75 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100 ; extra size. 2 years, 10 cts. 



each, $1 per dozen, |7 per 100. 

 Fay's Prolific— Color deep red ; great bearer ; stems longer than 



cherry, and berries hold their size to the end of the stem better. 



Quality first-class, nut quite so acid as Cherry ; the best of all the 



red currants ; abundant bearer. 2 years, 1() cts. each, $1.00 per 



dozen ; extra size 15 cts, each, $1.50 per dozen. 

 Lee's Prolific— Large, black, of fine flavor. 50 cts. per dozen.

which promise to make it of great value for popular use ; a thrifty 



grower, and succeeds on all good soils ; its productiveness is un- 

 surpassed. The fruit is large, of bright crimson color. 2-years 15 



cts. each, 151,50 per dozen. 

 Red Dutch— An old variety, excellent and well-known ; 2 years, 75 



cts. per dozen, $5 per 100 

 White Grape — Very large, yellowish white, sweet, or very mild acid, 



excellent quality and valuable for the table. The finest of the 



white sorts; very distinct from White Dutch, having a low, 



spreading habit and dark green foliage : very productive. 2-year, 



75 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 



A NEW CURRANT. 



Pomona — This Currant, while not the largest, yet is of good size and 

 always attracts the buyer on market. It is a beautiful, clear, bright, 

 almost transparent red, has but few and small seeds, is much less 

 acid than any of the common sorts. It is easily picked, hangs a 

 long time after ripe, and is one of the best to hold up in shipping 

 or on market. It retains its foliage long after all other sorts have 

 shed most of theirs, thus shading the fruit and protecting it from 

 scalding by the hot sun. It is a most vigorous grower, open in 

 habit, does not sucker badly, causing a choking and consequent 

 dying out of inside branches as do most others ; is entirely hardy 

 and comes into bearing profitably the second year after planting. 

 What better than this do you want. From the originator : " A most 

 vigorous grower ; healthy, hardy plant ; productive ; sweetest and best in quality, not having the unpleas- 

 ant currant flavor, and making it a very choice dessert fruit ; bearing a greater number of years than any 

 other sort ; larger than Red Dutch and Vicoria ; will hang on bush in good condition longer than anr 

 other ; it brings more dollars per acre to the grower, and with less work, than any other fruit 2 years 

 25c. each., $2.50 per doz., |15 per 100. '
