BLACKBERRY AND RASPBERRY 
McDonald — The earlist and heaviest bearirg blackberry. 
BLACKBERRIES 
The blackberry is one of the most common and most tenacious of American native 
fruits. The cultivated varieties are much juicier and larger and better in quality. They 
are profitable for local markets, but cannot be shipped long distances. Even for nearby 
markets they must be picked before fully ripe. They are much appreciated from the 
home garden for eating fresh, for canning and preserving, and for cordials. They are 
easily grown and bear abundantly and early the second year. 
EARLY HARVEST (Early) Glossy black, medium size, 
excellent quality; ships well. 
Compact, dwarf grower; very productive, but not very 
hardy, requiring protection in the North.

(Early) Early Harvest and a week before Snyder. 
It is only a fair shipper, but excellent for

melting, without hard core;

"With the appearance -of the St. Regis, one of the new ever- 
bearing varieties, the problem of growing raspberries in the South 
seems to be solved. The St. Regis uppt-ars to be tloing well in all 
parts of the Sovith in whieh it h;is Ihcti 1:ied. It bears a good 
erop of berries in the e:irl,\- siiiiinUM, :iiui in Angust the new shoots 
develop clusters of l)iossunis on tin ii tips, which mature for the 
second crop. These tip clusters are sometimes a foot or more in 
length and .'ire covered ^\ ith hcn ics. .\fterthe fall erop has beeo 
produced, the tips of tire rrew canes arc cut off below the bearing- 
point, and the same canes produce the frrst crop of the next 
season." — Country Gentleman.
