BLACKBERRIES— Continued 
Kittatinny— Large, black, sweet; soft when 
black; very hardy; ripens up gradually 
like the Lawton. One of the best. 
Snyder — Extremely hardy; enormously pro- 
ductive; medium size; no hard, sour core; 
half as many thorns as Kittatinny or Law- 
ton. 
Taylor's Prolific— It is so extremely hardy 
as to have stood 30 degrees below zero 
unharmed. Berries large and of the high- 
est quality. 
THE MERSEREAU, the Prince of all Blackberries 
See Cut 
Named by PROF. BAILEY of Cornell University. See Cornell Bulletin, No. 99, Aug., '95 
We are always obliged toward the close 
of the packing season to refuse orders for 
the Mersereau. Order Early. 
Its points of superiority are: 1st, Ex- 
treme hardiness; 2nd, Larger size and 
greater productiveness; 3rd, Less tendency 
to turn red after being picked than Snyder; 
4th, Delicious quality. 
See Bulletins issued from New York State 
Experimental station at Geneva, N. Y., on 
this variety. 
Mersereau Blackberry — Largest, sweetest, 
hardiest, and best in all points. Fruited 
for fifteen years. Main crop, season of 
Snyder, but continues in bearing as late as 
September 10th, several crates picked this 
last season after September 1st selling at 
fabulous prices. We exhibited trusses of 
this fruit at New York State Fair, first 
week in September in fine condition, which 
attracted universal attention. 
Price, $1.00 per doz. by mail; $3.00 per 100, 
express not paid. 
Neither the Amateur nor Market Gar- 
dener can make any mistake in planting the 
Mersereau.

rieties ever introduced. Market growers
