TWENTIETH CENTURY FRUITS 
11 
fruit is extremely handsome and very large for an early fruit, globular, 
five and one-half to six inches around each way, beautiful deep pink 
or light crimson; freestone; flesh honey-yellow, firm, rich, aromatic, 
apricot-like; unequalcd in its combination of size, beauty, productive- 
ness, and quality by any other early fruit of any kind. 
Trees, one year, 60c; three, $1.50; ten, $3. 
The New Apple-" Goldndge" 
A seedling of the Newtown Pippin, but ripens soon after the Graven- 
stein in the Fall and is in best condition for two months or more. 
Fruit averages about as large as apples ever grow and as smooth and 
perfect as if turned in a lathe. Quality, for any purpose for which 
apples are ever used, surpassingly fine. Has been almost universally 
pronounced the best apple ever produced. Pale yellow with a crimson 
blush on the sunny side. 
Price, one year, 60c; three, $1.50; ten, $3. 
The Burbank Thornless Blackberries 
These thornless blackberries produce when well established, enor- 
mous quantities of firm, sweet fruit. The vines are just what all berry 
growers and berry pickers have wished for and waited for during the 
past one hundred years. The production of new thornless berries has 
been very expensive of time, thought, and labor, and I have taken 
peculiar pleasure in offering them to growers. No one who has not 
worked among them can imagine the sense of perfect security from 
ugly wounds which all other blackberries are prepared to inflict. I am 
still at work improving them, but am happy to offer two varieties which 
produce great quantities of large, sweet, luscious fruits. They ripen 
later in the fall than most berries and are unlike the common black- 
berry which produces a multitude of unnecessary suckers. These grow 
only from tips. Both of these here offered are as free from spines 
as a silken thread, making them, owing also to their firmness and 
rare keeping qualities, altogether the most desirable of all berries for 
home use or for market. "SANTA ROSA," the earliest of the two, and 
"SEBASTOPOL," a few days later and possibly slightly larger. 
Each, 50c; both, 90c; ten of either or both, $3. 
A New Himalaya Berry— The "Superb" 
The well known "Himalaya" introduced by myself some twenty 
years ago is proving to be of inestimable value. Thousands of acres 
are now in bearing and it has been found to be the most productive 
of all berries, as well as the best keeper, by careful test at one of the 
United States Experiment Stations. These facts are so well known
