REID’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
RATH BUN. This is a new fruit that we offer with the utmost satisfaction. A large proportion of the berries will 
measure from 1 1-4 inches to 1 1-2 inches in length, and the whole crop is very uniform. The fruit of the Rath- 
bun unlike most Blackberries, has no hard core. It is soft, sweet and luscious, with a high flavor. It is superior 
to all varieties in cultivation for quality. The plant is a strong, erect grower, and, unlike most varieties, it pro- 
duces but few suckers. It sends up a strong main stem, which branches freely. These branches curve over and 
bend downward till the tips touch the ground. Late in the season they send out roots from the tips of the 
branches and thus propagate themselves, in a manner of a blackcap raspberry. Ripens about the same time as 
Wilson. 75 cts. per doz., $.} per loo, $30 per 1,000. 
Agawam. Fruit of fair size, jet black, sweet, tender 
and melting to the very core ; for home use it has no

THE LOGAN BERRY. A Thornless R.aspberry=BlacKberry 
The Greatest Fruit Novelty of the Century 
This berry is unlike any in previous existence — a hybrid 
between the raspberry and the blackberry. The fruit is 
as large as the largest blackberry, and is produced in im- 
mense clusters. 1 he color is a clear, dark red, pleasing to 
the eye. It partakes of the flavor of both the blackberry 
and the raspberry — a mild, pleasant, vinous flavor, deli- 
cious and peculiar to this berry alone. Excellent for 
all purposes. Seeds small, soft and few. Berries very 
firm, and carry well. Vine or cane grows 10 feet or more 
in a season; enormous bearer. Fruit ripens early, just 
after strawberries, nearly all being gone before blackber- 
ries or raspberries become plentiful. Always sells at a 
high price. Vine is rust-proof and without objectionable 
thorns. Never attacked by insects or diseases. A prom- 
ising fruit novelty. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $6 per too. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY 
This is the finest of its class ; one of the several that have 
proved successful. The fruit is handsome, and has suc- 
ceeded wherever it has been tried. A strong grower, and 
exceedingly productive. The Lucretia ripens at least ten 
days before any other Blackberry. Tips, 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100, $7 per 1,000; transplants, 75 cts., per doz., 
$1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
AUSTIN’S IMPROVED, or 
MAYES’ HYBRID DEWBERRY 
From American Gardening.- “ The berries are much 
larger than those of any other Dewberry or any other black- 
berry. 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 Dewberry is jet black and the 
flavor superior. For productiveness it outrivals all Dew- 
berries or blackberries, as high as $966 per acre having 
been realized from the sale of this berry, the berries selling 
readily at 15 cts. per quart ; quite hardy . ” 75 cts. per doz., 
$2 per 100.
