MAMMOTH 
BLACKBERRY 
Named by some 
"The Black Loganberry" 
The fruit is enormously 
large, some specimens 
measuring from 2}£ to 2% 
inches long; the very largest 
blackberry known to the 
world. The globules are 
large, seed small, soft and 
not very abundant; core 
quite small and very soft. 
The flavor is a decided im- 
provement on any known 
variety of blackberry, the 
acid flavor so pronounced, 
in all other kinds is very 
mild and pleasant, and 
when fully ripe is quite 
sweet. This berry in size 
and delicious flavor will 
eclipse any blackberry here- 
tofore produced. 
It is advisable in plant- 
ing the Mammoth Black- 
berry plants that they be 
given plenty of room. If 
grown upon a trellis, which 
is by far the best way, 
the rows should not be less 
than 9 feet apart and the 
plants 6 to 8 feet in the 
rows. 
One year old plants 
(stock limited), 15c each; 
$1.25 per 10. 
Tip rooted, ready Febru- 
ary. 10c each; 75c per 
10; $4.00 per 100. 
STRAWBEERIES 
To cultivate the Straw- 
berry for family use we 
recommend planting in beds 
four feet wide, with an alley 
two feet wide between the 
beds. These beds will 
accommodate three rows of 
plants, which may stand 
fifteen inches apart each 
way, and the outside row 
nine inches from the alley. 
Ground should be well pre- 
pared by digging or plow- 
ing at least ten or twelve 
inches deep, and be enriched 
with well rotted manure, 
ground bone, wood ashes 
or any other good fertilizer. 
Price, 25c per dozen; 
$1.50 per 100; $8.00 per 
1,000. 
Varieties marked (Imp.) 
are imperfect in blossom 
and need at least every third 
or fourth row to be planted 
with some perfect or stam- 
inate sort. Those marked (Per) are especially good to 
use as staminates or to be grown alone. 
LONGWORTH. (Imp.) An old popular variety. Fruit small, 
very sweet. Requires to have a perfect variety to be planted in 
proximity.
