DESCRIPTIVE PRICED CATALOaVH 
tbe Katbbun Blackberry 
Is admired by everyone who has seen it. and it only waits to be known to be 
universally appreciated. No one who has seen it has been able to criticise it. 
We have watched it with great interest for three years, and are not able to 
say that it has a single weak point. Its qualitv is so superior that it will seem 
like a new kind of fruit to those accustomed to any of the old and well known 
varieties. 
The plant sends up a strong central stem ; makes but few suckers; it 
branches freely, and tips of the shoots bend downwards, and, when brought 
in contract with the ground and covered with soil, take root and propagate 
themselves in this manner. The plant is very productive, the fruit large, 
handsome and without any hard core, seeds small and scarcely noticeable.
