you are disseminating the Mcrscreau black- 
berry plants. Its large size, handsome appear- 
ance and excellent quality make it the best 
seller we have. ,We handled a good many the 
past summer and found ready sale at two or 
three cents per quart over any other variety.

I hope you will succeed in selling many 
plants of the new blackberry, Mcrscreau. We 
find nothing to equal it in size, beauty and 
quality; it commands a much higher price 
among our customers than any other kind. 
Our customers want the best and they get it 
always in the Mersereau. — Fred Westover,
