THE GREAT HIMALAYA BERRY 
Here you have an absolute distinct new berry direct from the Himalaya Mountains ; which 
for quality, yield, and hardiness, surpasses even the most delicious Raspberries, Blackberries, 
or, in fact, any of our native fruits. The fruits are borne in enormous clusters, ripenmg from 
time to time all summer and continue so until killing frost. Each berry is an inch long, very 
thick, meaty, melting and sweet, almost no core, and unusually rich. They need but very lit- 
tle sugar in cooking, and do not spoil for many days after ripening when left hanging on the 
vine. For long distance shipping and rough handling such as our native fruits are required to 
stand you will find this New Wonder the best of them all. The sprouts do not come up from 
the ground as Blackberries do, but all start from one root. When a year old and afterwards 
the canes send out fruit laterals which get to be from 14 to 40 feet long and upon these are 
borne the enormous crop. The berries are clustered on the outside of the bush, where they are 
very easy to pick. Plants are extremely hardy, standing any temperature in this country. We 
offer very strong, thrifty, well rooted plants at reasonably close prices. 20 cents each; 3 for 
50 cents; $1.50 per dozen, postpaid.
