of either plants or cuttings. Special rates will be made on sucker plants, to be grown

Blowers. —Well known. From western New York. A sturdy grower and a very 
prolific bearer. The fruit is large and continues to ripen through a long season. The 
plant is hardy in its native region, and has endured quite a low degree of tempera- 
ture unharmed. We begun selling the Blowers in 1904, and have sent it all over the 
country. We have received onl}' one report of its having been winter killed, so far 
as we can remember, and that was from northern Minnesota. 
Eldorado. — A general favorite. The best known of all blackberries the country 
over, and perfectly reliable in every way. It is a good grower, and hardy everywhere. 
The berries are of good size, glossy black, and very sweet and tender. They retain 
their luster a long time after being picked. This variety was discovered by E. M. 
Buechley of south-western Ohio many years ago. 
Ward. — A native of New Jersey, found in a fence row. A thrifty grower making 
rather short canes with health}^ foliage. The fruit is large, equal to the Blowers, 
and both are generally described as very large. The color is jet black, the flesh 
melting, and the quality very fine.

Currants. 
Comet. — This it a native of the island of Jersey. We have had it in bearing eight 
years, and it ranks high in our estimation. It is a vigorous grower with healthy 
foliage which stays on late. It is a prolific yielder, and both bunches and berries are 
large. It is rich red in color, of excellent flavor, and makes a long season. 
Perfection. — A cross between Fay's Prolific and White Grape, originated by C. 
G. Hooker of Rochester, N. Y. It is the best American currant, and received the 
fifty-dollar Barry gold medal of the Western New York Horticultural Society, and 
the highest award at the Buffalo Exposition; also, a gold medal at the World's Fair 
in St. Louis. 
It is a splendid grower, making large, strong plants which produce wonderful 
crops of large, bright red fruit in very long clusters. The flavor is mild and agreeable 
making it fine for table use. It is easy to pick, having a long stem between fruit 
and branch.

"The strawberry plants arrived in due season, — fine plants, packed in your usual 
first-class style. In my whole experience with your firm, probably in over a dozen 
different seasons, covering nearly twenty-five years, I have never got a bad lot of 
plants, nor any that were poorly packed, or that proved untrue to name. It seems 
to me that this ranks about as close to 100 per cent, in the scale of fair dealing and 
general excellence as one can hope to meet in a finite world." 
T. C. Robinson, Owen Sound, Ont. 
"We are very well pleased with the strawberry plants. We have not lost one out 
of the lot of 1,200. They were heeled in and planted when we could get the ground 
ready, and now they are doing very nicely, in fact better than any we ever planted." 
C. Betsch^R, Canal Dover, Ohio.
