It gives me great pleasure to say a word regarding the Blowers Blackberry 
I have seen it growing from ten to fourteen feet high under ordinary cultivation, and 
the amount of fruit produced was certainly far in excess of any other variety I have ever 
seen. The size of the berry is good and quality equal to the best. It is solid and 
firm and must prove a great acquisition as a shipper.

Dear Sir: — 
Your can of blackberries is certainly the best that I ever tasted. 'I'he seeds are 
very small, and the comparative amount of pulp is very large, (^f course we cannot 
get rid of the seed in blackberries and raspberries, and have the berries left ; but the 
seed and the larger the drupes the better the berry. The flavor is also very fine indeed. 
1 am satisfied that you have a fine thing. I will make place for a dozen plants in a 
choice spot this year. 
Yours truly, E. P. POWELL.

Dear Sir: — Enclosed please find order for 1000 more Blowers Blackberry roots 
for spring delivery. This will be our fourth planting of these blackberries. From the 
first planting we have taken three crops, each crop exceeding the last one. They are a 
wonderful berry in several respects. We have them on dry, sandy soil, and on soil so 
wet that raspberries “drowned out” and it is hard to tell which yields the best. They 
certainly can stand more “wet feet” than any berry we know’ of. Another good point in 
their favor is the tremendous yield and length of season. We began picking in market- 
able quantity this year on July 27, and our last regular picking w'as Sept. 12. Of course 
there were a great many ripened after that time. Our whole crop was taken by home 
merchants at ,$3.20 per bushel throughout the season, with packages returned to us. 
This was in competition with Eldorados and Snyders, though in fact there is little com- 
petition whre the Blowers blackberry is concerned. 'Fhis refers not only to the size and 
appearance of the berries, but to the productiveness as well. 
We are proud of our patch of these berries and never fail to speak a good word 
for them. Fhey grow anywhere, on wet or dry soil, have a good strong stalk that 
withstands the winds and snow — do not grow up into a wilderness but are easily confined 
to a row — have never winter-killed for us, and have yielded us a bountiful crop each 
year A sure crop, a good crop, an easy sale and a good price is a short way of telling 
the story of Blowers Blackberry. 
Wishing you every success, I am respectfully; E. M. FOYE.

I have grown many different varieties of Blackberry. The Blowers will bring 
me the most money net. I have sold fruit in the city markets for twenty-fiive years. 
Blowers Black Berry helps our other trade. A winning card. 'Fhe size makes them 
attractive, then the quality holds the cu.stomer. The grocer wants them to make money 
— the customer calls again because he likes them. Other varieties come and are gone 
in four to six pickings, or ten days to two weeks. The Blowers lasts for sixteen to 
twenty-five pickings (five to eight weeks) according to season. The last pickings are 
large luscious and firm. Stayers, money-makers. 
When everyone has blackberries we can sell the Blowers first and to a good 
profit while small berries spoil on the retailers hands. This year the Blowers was 
practically the only blackberry in the market. No wild ones. Very few cultivated ones. 
I'he demand for Blowers Blackberry fruit will exceed the production for the 
next twenty years. Don’t be afraid to grow the fruit, we can sell the berries.
