Nemaha strongly resembles the Gregg, 
but is more hardy and productive; of a jet 
black and very attractive in the box. It is 
a great favorite in Wisconsin and the nonh- 
west. 40C per dozen; S1.50 per 100; $6 per 
500; and $10 per 1,000. 
Tlie Older has been tested throughout 
the northwest, and has not been found want- 
ing in any instance. It roots very deeply 
and withstands drouth better than any other 
variety. The canes are of ironclad hardi- 
ness and grow to an immense size. It is a 
marvel of productiveness. The berries are 
as large as Gregg and 
free from the bloom so 
objectionable in that 
variety, and are so even 
in size and color that it 
makes it very attractive 
in the box. The de- 
mand for plants is very 
great and will continue 
so until every one who 
sees it has a supply. 
Don't pass it by. Sea- 
son medium early. 50c 
per dozen; $2 per 100; $6 
per 500; and $10 per 
1,000. 
Gregg is the largest 
and finest of the late 
varieties. We have fre- 
quently found them in the 
boxes an inch in diame- 
ter. It is not quite so 
hardy as the others, but 
we have never lost a crop. 
The berries, to have the 
best flavor, should be 
allowed to get fully ripe. 
40c per dozen; S1.50 per 
100; $4.50, 500; S8, 1,000. 
Sluifler's Colossal 
is a hybrid. Crossed be- 
tween the red and black, 
of a dull purple color, of 
immense size and rich 
sub-acid flavor; very pro- 
ductive and the best can- 
ning berry grown. If it 
had a bright red color 
it would siand at the head of the list. When 
people learn its quality it is a ready seller. 
40c per dozen; $2 per 100; $6 per 500; and 
$10 per 1,000. 
J* linson'.s Sweet is the richest and 
sweetest blackcap in existence. Entirely 
hardy and very productive. Berries jet 
black, deliciously sweet, and nearly as large 
as the Gregg, and ripens only two or three 
days later than Palmei'. It should, by all 
means, have a place in every collection. 
40c per dozen; $1.50 per 100; $5.00 per 500; 
and $9 per i ,000. 
Pioneer or Progress. Berries of 
good size, ripens very early and continues 
m bearing a long time. It has been thor- 
oughly tested by practical fruit growers and 
will be largely set the coming season. 40c 
per dozen; S1.50 per 100; S4.50 per 500; and 
$8 per 1 ,000. 
Earliart. An everbearing variety of 
great value. It bears a heavy crop at the 
usual time, and then again on the current 
year's growth of cane in September, bears 
another large crop of large, fine berries. Its 
fall crop is almost as large as the summer 
picking and, of course, readily sells at 
The Older. 
double price. Owing to the canes being 
loaded with berries it is hard to make tips 
root, so that propagating is difficult and 
prices will remain high for some time. 75c 
per dozen; $5 per 100. 
IMianii and Obio are the same. They 
follow Souhegan and are the largest yielders 
of any of the Dlackcaps, and a splendid, all- 
around berry. For evaporating it has no 
equal. I never saw or heard of its being 
injured by cold. 40c per dozen; $1.50 per 
100; $4.50 per 500, and S8.00 per 1,000. 
Soube^an, the earliest of blackcaps.
