E. W. Reid’s Catalogue of Small Fruits, Etc. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY. 
This is the finest of its class ; one of several that have proved successful. The fruit is large, luscious and 
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, and this was on the 8th of 
July. 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. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per too, $7 per 1,000.

CURRANTS. 
CULTURE.— They should be planted in good, 
deep soil, in a cool location, and manured very heavily. 
Plant four by five feet, work like raspberries, keep the 
soil moist and free from weeds, and mulch with manure, 
if the best quality of fruit is desired. They should be 
pruned every year and all old wood cut from them ; 
keep them thinned out, so that air can freely pass 
through them. Currant- worms can be destroyed by 
using hellebore ; dissolve 1 ounce in 3 gallons of water, 
and apply with a syringe or small sprinkling-can. This 
can be done with very little expense, if performed at 
the right time. 
Cherry. This is a popular market variety, and needs 
no description, as everybody knows it. 1 year, No. 1, 
50 cts. per doz., $3 per 100, $25 per 1,000; 2 year, 
No. 1, 75 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100, $30 per 1,000. 
PAY’S PROLIFIC. This variety has been praised 
very highly of late, and 1 do not think in any way has 
been misrepresented ; it is healthy, vigorous and 
very productive. Its bunches are from 3to 5K inches 
in length, so they can be easily picked, and the berry 
commands a high price. It is somewhat larger than 
the Cherry, and holds its size to the end of the bunch, 
and is fully twice as productive. 1 year, No. 1, $ 1 
per doz., §6 per 100, $50 per 1,000; 2 year, No. 1, 
$1.50 per doz., $7 per 100, $60 per 1,000. 
NOTE. — Our stock of Fay’s is quite large and of 
extra-fine plants. Guaranteed to be true to name ; 
those who have bought heretofore from agents, getting 
tlie common varieties, know the expense and time lost ; 
be sure you get the genuine. 
We have some light Fay’s we can make low rates 
on ; they are good plants for planting, but too light to 
grade with No. 1 stock. Write for rates, naming the 
light grade. 
Versailles. Similar to the Cherry ; the best and most 
popular variety ; the largest

per 1 ,000.

$25 per 1,000; 2 year, No. 1, 75 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100, $30
