Many experiment stations have placed it at 
the head of the list, all things considered. Its 
canes are very hardy. 30c per doz., $1.25 
per 100 and $7.00 per 1,000. 
The Older, its g-ood qualities are especially 
deep rootage so it succeeds nicely on dry soil and 
IS of iron-clad hardiness. It has been widely 
set in the west and meets with much favor. 
30c per doz., $1.25 per 100 and $7.00 per 1,000. 
Shaffer's Colossal. A very larg^e purple 
berry of much merit. Very productive and fine 
flavor. If it were not for the fruit bloom which 
griyes it a dull color it would be a great success. 
It is fine for canning- or the table. 30c per doz., 
$1.25 per 100 and S7.00 per 1,000. 
Johnson's Sweet. This is the richest and 
sweetest blackcap g-rown. Ripens only two or 
three days later than Palmer. The berries are 
good size, very even and shiny black. 30c per 
doz., $1.25 per 100 and $7.00 per 1,000. 
Gregg. The old standard big- berry. We 
have not yet found anything better for its sea- 
son. Its berries are often an inch in diameter 
when properly propagated and cultivated, very 
hardy and productive and firm, a fine shipper. 
30c per doz., 81.25 per 100 and $7.00 per 1,000. 
RED VARIETIES 
The cultivation is the same as blackcaps 
except they should never be pinched back. 
The buds are not so strong on the laterals, 
and do not produce as good berries as those on 
the main canes. By cutting off the upper third 
of the cane at the winter pruning all the buds 
will be left that are desirable. The plantation 
will last longer and fruit better. Treat all 
suckers as weeds. It soon spoils a fruiting bed 
to cut the roots in digging up plants. 
The Miller. It came to us with the highest 
endorsements and has sustained them all. It 
begins to ripen more than a week before straw- 
berries are gone and is the most productive 
extra early berry we have ever grown. The 
berries are large, bright red, beautiful in the 
box and an excellent shipper. 40c per doz., 
$1.50 per 100 and $10.00 per 1,000. 
The Marlboro. This follows the Miller for 
medium season. On good land, very produc- 
tive. Berries large, bright red, firm and a 
good shipper. 30c per doz., $1.25 per 100 and 
$7.00 per 1,000. 
The CHthbert. This has long been the 
standard late berry. Fruit is large, firm, 
bright crimson. It "stands up" well, and can 
be shipped any distance. 30c per doz., $1.25 
per 100 and $7.00 per 1,000. 
Golden Queen. A seedling or sport of the 
Cuthbert, and closely resembles it except the 
berries are yellow. It is fine for canning and 
near market. After they have been picked a 
short time they turn a dull color and do not 
sell so well. 30c per doz., $1.25 per 100 and 
$7.00 per 1,000. 
The Loudon. Sure to become the leading 
late berry. Everybody is greatly pleased with 
it, and every plant obtainable will be set this 
spring. Its canes have proven very hardy; 
productive, berries very bright red and large, 
firm, and the best of shippers. ]5c each, $1.00 
per doz. and $5.00 per 100. 
A REVOLUTION IN BLACKBERRY 
GROWING. 
Nothing sells better, nothing pays better, 
nothing is grown more easily. The new 
method of starting the plantation produces 
double that of the old way. Its fruit is more 
luscious and a plantation will fruit heavily 
under gnod culture and pruning from fifteen to 
twenty years, giving annually large crops. 
The demand for this fruit is practically 
unlimited. The trouble is blackberries as 
offered are sour, seedy and lack flavor.
