mmmi mmiii buckberry. 
The Best to Bear, 
The Best to Sell, 
The Best to Eat, 
The Easiest to Grow, 
The Easiest to Pick. 
The Chase Nurseries are among the pioneers in bringing this valuable fruit 
tn the attention of the public. 
We assert without fear of successful contradiction, tliat the Wachusetts 
Thornless, combines more valuable points than any blacliberry ever offered for 
sale. 
For liome use it is perfection. So harjy as to require no protection in any 
part of New Yorlc, or New England; so thrifty as to grow with really no care 
when once properly planted, yet does not "spread all over creation," like com- 
mon sorts. In fact it. suckers (spreads) very Utile indeed unless the roots are torn 
or cut. 
It will yield more fruit on an average than any variety known to us. The 
fruit has that peculiar refreshing flavor never before found, except in those juicy 
wild berries, picked from shady woodland dells in our boyhood daj's. 
And last but not least, the bearing canes are thornless, an advantage over 
common varieties tliat every grower can appreciate. The new wood each season 
(such as we deliver) always shows an occasional thorn, but these drop off the first 
winter, so the bearing canes are thornless. So mucli for the Wachusetts as a 
family fruit. 
For the benefit of tliose who grow fruit for market purposes, we will ask our 
friends to read what our old customers who have grown it, say of this as a market 
variety. This berry is destined to put many thousands of dollars into the pockets 
of the farmers of our country. He who plants early and freely of tliis variety, 
plants wisely. 
The bushes will be extra selected and should give a good crop the second 
season after transplanting. •
