BLACKBERRIES 
All following varieties, good, strong plants, $1.00 per 12; $2.00 per 100, except as noted. 
Mailed at the dozen price. 
This excellent and profitable fruit should 
be planted for garden use in rows six feet 
apart, with plants four feet apart in the 
rows; for market, in rows eight feet apart, 
with plants three feet apart in the rows. 
Give the plants the same cultivation as 
Raspberries. If properly grown, and suc- 
cessive varieties are chosen, this fruit ex- 
tends over a very considerable period, 
and affords a steady income for marketing. 
Agawam — Ripens earlier than other kinds, 
and has a flavor similar and equal to the 
wild berry; perfectly hardy. 
Eldorado — A new seedling from Ohio 
claimed to be the best all-round berry yet 
produced, combining nearly all the good 
qualities found in a blackberry. $3.00 per 
100. 
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.
