Blowers Blackberry 
ITH the 20th Century came in Blowers Blackberry. Such fruit had 
never grown before with such large berries and enormous yield. 
This wonderful Blackberry is produced by the hundreds of bushels, 
netting thousands of dollars. Why are the Big Blowers Blackberry 
the best of the bunch and always on top? Because they are big, 
luscious, overshadow all others, never winterkill, are always in 
demand and are rich in quality and quantity. 
Record of 2,740 qts. from 1-3 acre; 2,694 berries on a hush. 
Record for 1907 from 31570 sq. ft , or less than 3-4 acre of land, 112 bushels ot fruit. 
The grocers of Jamestown gave $4.80 per bushel crate, ma king $537.60 worth 
of berries. This is at the rate of $744.00 per acre. 
In 1902 we made a statement that we would produce $1,000 of berries from an 
acre. The past summer we produced more than $500 worth from less than 3-4 acre. 
This was only 3 years after planting. We are just in training now. We desire to con- 
fess that we do not always prune properly. Sometimes we get a smashing record from 
young hushes and much less in proportion on older and larger ones. But we are mak- 
ing progress. Watch us for a few seasons and we will give you a record. 
After 20 years experimenting we have at last found a good all-around Black- 
berry. It is now an article of commerce. Acres of bearing bushes, tons of fruit. 
Tens of thousands of roots for sale. Note what our testimonials say regarding marketing. 
Origin 
The origin of this delicious blackberry is no secret^ Not 5 miles from the 
Blowers homestead, the big shoot first appeared. It was in a garden under the historic 
cherry tree and 5 rods from the forest. The next year a profusion of beautiful white 
blossoms covered the bush and the promise of fruit was gradually fulfilled as the berries 
reached maturity. The neighbors were called to see this wonderful sight and they 
named it the "Unknown. It is still believed that a cherry-bird brought the seed from 
a neighboring forest. The Blowers Blackberry is a strong grower and it is one of the 
easiest to produce. Strawberries and raspberries at the best will yield not longer than 
from 2 to 10 years, while Blackberries will hear fruit a generation. Neglect will not 
kill or fctunt them. Some let the bushes run wild at will, simply using the scythe to 
keep out the tall weeds. 
Mr. J. Franklin Moore who has successfully grown our Blackberry here, and 
has now removed to Dover, Delaware, writes: “No one here believes the pictures you 
print are so. You may book my order for 5,000 plants.
