Iceberg, ^it;"^ m\u Blackberry. 
Another season has fully demonstrated the good qualities of this novelty. 
EarlinessJt The Iceberg is one of the very earliest varieties ripening its first 
fruit in the latitude of Western New York as early as July (>th to 8th, being 
more than a week ahead of Taylor in the same latitude; but as the berries 
are ripened in succession, and will remain on the bushes a long time in good 
condition, the fruiting period is extended for fully a month. 
Productivenesi^ In this point the Iceberg is unsurpassed by any other vari- 
ety with which we are familiar. The berries are borne in splendid, large clus- 
ters, and so freely that the canes are often bent over nearly to the grouiid- 
In a letter to Mr. Burbank, Prof. Emory E. Smith. Leland Stanford, Jr. 
University, Cal., says: 
" I can still see in my mind's eye those magnificent hybrid berries in your 
experiment grounds, but I feel I cannot fully appreciate your work, for it would 
take weeks, rather than hours, to give the experiments the careful inspection 
which they deserve."

, Stock received from you in spring of '99 made a fine growth in a most unfavorable 
season and is now going into the winter in fine shape. They started growth so quickly 
that the wood had ample time to ripen. We can recommend your goods to all who are
