LUCRETIA DEWBERRY. 
This is the finest of its class ; one of the several that 
have proved successful. The fruit is handsome, and 
has succeeded wherever it has been tried. A strong 
grower and exceedingly productive. We happened 
upon the bushes at their fullest ripening. The Wilson 
Jr. and Early Harvest had not begun to turn, and the 
Lucretia had been ripe several days before we visited 
the patch the 8th of Julv. I will say at a venture that 
the Lucretia ripens at least ten days before any other 
Blackberry. This is surely a good record for Lucretia. 
Price, tips, 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000; 
transplants, 75c. per doz., $1.50 per ioo, $10 per 1,000. 
AUSTIN’S IMPROVED) or 
MAYES’ HYBRID DEWBERRY. 
From American Gardening • “Perhaps one of 
the greatest fruits that has yet been introduced in the 
Dewberry line is Mayes’ Hybrid Dewberry. It origi- 
nated in Texas several years ago. The berries are 
much larger than those of any other Dewberry or any 
other blackberry. A strange peculiarity of this plant is 
that it requires no trellises or stakes, but can easily be 
trained into a tree form. The fruit of this new Dew- 
berry is jet-black and the flavor superior. For pro- 
ductiveness it outrivals all Dewberries or blackberries ; 
as high as $966 per acre having been realized from 
the sale of this berry, the berries selling readily 
at 15 cents per quart. The Mayes’ Hybrid Dew- 
berry is quite hardy, and it will no doubt flourish and 
succeed where the Lucretia Dewberfy does.” 
Price, $1 per doz., $4 per 100.

THE LOGAN BERRY. 
A Thornless Raspberry-Blackberry. 
THE GREATEST NOVELTY 
IN FRUIT OF THE CENTURY. 
This berry is unlike any in previous existence — a 
hybrid between the raspberry and blackberry. The fruit 
is as large as the largest blackberry, and is produced in 
immense clusters. The color is a clear, dark red, pleasing 
to the eye. It partakes of the flavor of both the black- 
berry and the raspberry — a mild, pleasant, vinous flavor, 
delicious and peculiar to this ber' y alone. Excellent for 
all purposes. Seeds small, soft and few. Berries very 
firm, and carry well. Vine or cane grows iofeet and more 
in a season; enormous bearer. Fruit ripens early, just 
after strawberries, nearly all being gone before blackberries 
or raspberries become plentiful. Always sells at a high 
price. It has produced fruits in the greenhouses in January 
on young plants not over 8 inches high, grown in 3-inch 
pots, every blossom setting a fruit. Would be valuable for 
early forcing. Vine is rust proof and without objectionable 
thorns. Never attacked by insects or diseases. Price 15 
cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
