Erie. SOc per doz., 82.00 per 100 and 812.00 
per 1,000. 
The Erie. The experiment stations and 
growers who have now fruited this for sev- 
eral years unite in placing^ the Erie at the 
head of the list among- the most desirable 
varieties. This season and for many years 
it has stood equal with Western Triumph or 
any other berry. While it has not been 
fruited so long- yet I heartily urge it as a 
leading berry. I have never seen it injured 
here by cold. It is reported hardy every- 
where. SOc per doz., $2.00 per 100 and $12.00 
per 1,000. 
Taylor Prolific follows the Western 
Triumph, Erie and Snyder and the three 
make a long season. It rarely fails in hard- 
iness and is very productive and desirable. 
In quality it is probablj' the richest black- 
berry grown, having that sweet flavor 
peculiar to the wild berry. As it prolongs 
the season to the early grapes it should be on 
the list. SOc per doz., $2.00 per 100 and $12.00 
per 1,000. 
Snyder is that old iron clad which suc- 
ceeds everywhere a blackberry can be grown. 
If properly pruned the bei-ries are large and 
fine. Like all other blackberries under neg- 
lect and not pruned it overbears and berries 
are small. Our stock has been bred up and 
is in the fullest vigor. SOc per doz., $2.00 
per 100 and $12.00 per 1,000. 
The ANCiEN-r Bkiton. 
The Erie. 
Ancient Briton. A leading berry in 
the northwest where it grows to great per- 
fection. Its canes and roots are such that 
it is easy to lay down for winter protection. 
Its berries are fine. Season medium. SOc 
per doz., $2.25 per 100 and $14.00 per 1,000. 
The Eldorado is comparatively a new 
berry, but is coming to the front in great 
shape. All who have tested it are wild in 
its praises and it will undoubtedly come 
into general cultivation. The demand for 
plants has exceeded supply every year. 15c 
each, 81.00 per doz. and $8.00 per 100. 
The Rathburn is a new blackberry 
which propagates from the tips. From 30 to 
60 plants are obtained in fall from spring set 
plants by burying the tips in August. It is 
without doubt the largest blackberry grown 
and of the highest quality. When it be- 
comes known, the demand for plants will be 
very great and by procuring a few now you 
can have a good start next year. 2Sc each, 
$1S.00 per 100. 
Early Harvest. The earliest black- 
berry grown, ripening with first raspberries. 
The berries are not large, but so very even 
in size and beautiful they sell fast. It 
comes in long in advance of other varie- 
ties. It is not classed as hardy but its long 
slender growth makes it easy to lay down 
for winter protection. SOc per doz., 82.00 per 
100 and $12.00 per 1,000. 
DEWBERRIES. 
When properly grown the Dewberry is 
very profitable and a ready seller. It 
comes on the market two or three weeks 
ahead of the high bush blackberry and 
therefore always commands a high price. 
The better way is to put up a trellis of three 
No. 9 wires and prune in early spring and 
tie canes to these wires. Pick every other 
day or for table every third day. Give clean 
culture.
