BLACKBERRIES 
BLOWERS. 
Blowers. — This is the most remarkable black- 
berry of the age. A woman discovered it grow- 
ing wild and It has been propagated by Mr. 
Blowers until he now has nine acres in fruiting. 
It Is extremely vigorous and productive and 
quite hardy. It has been grown 14 feet in 
height and single bushes have produced 2,694 
berries. The original one-third acre has borne, 
in five years, the enormous crop of 10,637 qts. 
It has the longest fruiting season of any black- 
berry, lasting from July to October, producing 
Its greatest crop In August, and quantities In 
September. It Is very attractive for market on 
account of large size and excellent appearance. 
From all I have been able to learn the variety 
has never been winter killed. 
We, ourselves, have fruited the Blowers 
Blackberry the past three years. We have had 
no loss from winter killing, the crop each year 
exceeding our expectations. The fruit Is supe- 
rior to nearly all other varieties, large, glossy 
black berries that make the finest appearance 
in the basket. On account of Its large size, pro- 
ductiveness and hardiness I feel sure every one 
who plants the Blowers will be delighted with 
It. The bushes we offer are strong root cutting 
plants. Each, 10c; per doz., 60c; per 100, 
$3.00.
