Snyder. This is the old standby which succeeds wherever a Blackberry can be 
grown. For some time we have been selecting a superior strain of this variety which 
is in every way better than the common Snyder. This year for the first time we offer 
them to our patrons. Extremely hardy, enormously productive, medium size; no 
hard, sour core; sweet and juicy. 5c each; SOc per dozen; $3.00 per 100; $20.00 per 
1,000. 
Dewberries 
Great care and peculiar treatment are necessary for successful Dewberry growing. 
They do best on high, well-drained clay soil, but can be grown with reasonable suc- 
cess on alrnost any good soil. Plant in rows 7 feet apart and 4 to 5 feet in the row. 
Begin pruning by pinching out the ends of the canes as soon as they reach a length 
of 3 feet, and of the laterals when they reach 2 feet. In the fall prune away all but si.x 
of the best canes to each hill and these canes to a length of 4 to 5 feet. Press them 
closely to the ground lengthwise of the row and cover with three inches of forest 
leaves or by throwing a light furrow upon them. Uncover in spring when all danger 
of freezing is past, and tie to a wire trellis. 
Lucretia. Claimed to be the best of the Blackberry family, and as productive as 
any. The berries are far larger and incomparably better than any blackberry, and 
cf unequalled excellence; soft, sweet and luscious throughout; of brightest, glossy 
black color. The Lucretia Dewberry has received the endorse- 
ment and praise from the best horticulturists in the country. 
Its eminent success in all soils, from Maine to California, from 
Minnesota to Florida, is something phenomenal in small fruit 
culture. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to winter-kill. 
10c each; 75c per dozen; $3.00 per 100; $20.00 per 1,000. 
Strawberries 
No one owning a home, or for 
that matter one who is renting for 
a term of years, can put a little 
money to a better use than to buy 
three or four hundred plants of the 
standard variety of Strawberry. 
Give them the proper care, .and a 
good sized family can hardly use 
all the fruit they will produce the 
next season after planting. Noth- 
ing will bring quicker and greater 
satisfaction to the planter, more 
keen delight to his children, 
or lessen the burdens of his 
good wife in providing for 
the table than a well kept 
Strawberry bed. 
The best time to plant 
Strawberries is in early spring 
and on fertile new soil, or old 
land brought to a high state 
of cultivation. If horses are 
to be used in cultivating, 
plant in rows 314 to 4 feet 
apart, and 1 to 3 feet in the 
row, but for hand culture, 1 
to 2 feet will answer. 
Here is the plan we have 
found the most profitable and 
always gives large, fine fruit. Set plants as 
early in spring as season will permit; pinch ' 
off all the blossom stalks which appear the 
first season; this throws all the strength 
into a good stand of new plants for the next 
year. About November 1st cover with rye 
or wheat straw just deep enough so_ they 
can come up through it; if too much is on.
