To H. S. Wiley, I am very glad to learn you are disseminating the Mersereau blackber- 
ry plants. Its large size, handsome appearance 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. A. E. Andrews, Grocer, 6 South St. 
"I hope you will succeed in selling many plants of the new blackberry, Mersereau. We 
6nd nothing to equal it in si/,e. 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. buyer for E. N, Ross, wholesale and retail grocer.

Asparagus 
Conover's Colossal 
and Palmetto. 
Conover's Colossal. This 
variety is much superior in size 
and quality to any other, being 
remarkably tender and fine flav- 
ored. 
Palmetto. Until recently we 
believed that the Conover's Colos- 
sal was the best sort known, but 
we are now forced to concede that 
the Palmetto is earlier and a bet- 
ter yielder, and more even and 
regular in its growth, and that it 
will eventually supercede the old 
favorite. The average bunches 
contain 15 shoots measuring 13>4 
inches in circumference, and 
weighing nearly two pounds. It 
has been tested both north and 
south, and has proved entirely 
successful in every instance. 
Price, $1.50 per 100; $6.00 per 
1000, strong 2 yr. roots.
