THE HARDY ELDORADO BLACKBERRY 
Eldorado— The best all-round berry yet produced, combining nearly all the good qualities found in 
a blackberry. The vines are very hardy and vigorous, enduring the winters of the far North- 
west without injury, and their yield is enormous. The berries are large, jet black, borne in 
large clusters and ripen well together; they are very sweet, melting, have no hard core and 
keep for eight or ten days after picking with quality unimpaired. 
Snyder — Extremely hardy; enormously produc- 
tive ; medium size. 
Wilson’s Early — Large size, black, quite firm, 
rich, sweet and good. Ripens early and 
matures its fruit rapidly ; retains its color 
well after picking. 
flinniewaska— Wonderful , 
hardy, productive, good 
blackberry, has not been 
forgotten by us, or our 
old patrons. Its principal 
points are hardiness, ex- 
cellent quality, earliness, 
and continued bearing 
and productiveness. The 
secret of its great produc- 
tiveness, is that it is an 
enormous grower. A large 
grower near Rochester 
states that his average re- 
ceipts from an acre of 
Miuniewaska blackberries 
has been $300 per year for the past five years. 
Early Harvest — The earliest blackberry and 
valuable for market. The canes are strong 
and upright in growth and enormously pro- 
ductive. Berries sweet and of the highest 
quality. 
Erie — Bush vigorous ; berry large, round ; good 
quality ; early and productive. 
Agawam — Ripens earlier than other kinds, and 
has a flavor similar and equal to the wild 
berry. Very hardy. 
Ancient Briton — Bush hardy and very produc- 
tive. One of the best old sorts, and still 
grown in immense quantities by successful 
market gardeners. 
Blower— Large size, jet black, good shipper, best 
quality, unexcelled productiveness are the 
main characteristics of this splendid new sort. 
Rathbun — Bush perfectly healthy, vigorous, but 
not a high growing sort; very rarely suckers 
from the roots. Fruit of largest size, high- 
est quality, borne in great profusion. 
Lawton — Very large, excellent quality, and an 
abundant bearer. 
Kittatinny — At one time this was the most pop- 
ular of all Blackberries. It is still first-rate 
for garden use, and in some localities for 
market. Berries large ; canes strong in 
growth ; productive. 
Ward— A new Blackberry of great merit. A 
seedling of Kattatinny, which it resembles 
somewhat, having the good qualities of its 
parent and none of the defects. A very 
strong grower ; it is perfectly hardy at its 
home in New Jersey. The fruit is black 
throughout and very prolific, firm and good 
for shipment, yet tender agd melting, and 
of highest quality.
