Grand Mere Nurseries, 
cember. It is a very strong grower, with bright red bark, and very few small 
thorns. It propagates from tips same as blackcap. The berries are large, 
dark red, firm as' to texture, with an agreeable, pure, rich flavor, which is brought 
to its highest perfection when canned or cooked in pies. Their season is rather 
late and they hold on well. Dozen. .50 cents; hundred. $2.00. 
Blackberries. 
Should be planted in rows six to seven feet apart, three to five feet in the 
rows. Keep the ground light and rich. Pinch the canes back when they have 
reached the height of from two to three feet. If to be sent by mail add 15 
cents per dozen, or 60 cents per hundred for postage. 
EIDOBADO.— The especially valuable qualities claimed for this fine new 
blackberry are:' Great productiveness, hardiness, extra fine quality and sweet- 
ness of flavor, without core, a combination surely of all that can be desired in 
blackberry. Like many of our best fruits, it was an accidental seedling, and 
comes from Prebe county. Ohio. It has been in cultivation for twelve years, and 
under careful tests for four years at the different experimental stations. It is 
one of the few fruits which seem to have no bad qualities. While its flavor is 
high, it is also productive and will stand any climate, it is also remarkable 
for its keeping qualities. M’^e have tested the fruit and find it in quality all that 
it is claimed to be. The berries are large. Jet black, borne in clusters, and ri- 
pen well together, sweet, melting, rich and pleasant to the taste. I have fruited 
it three years and believe it to be superior to any of the variety: it is most 
productive of any. All root-cutting plants at dozen, 35 cents: hundred, $1.50. 
EABL'S' KIITCl. — An extra early blackberry, exceedingly hardy variety of 
great merit. We have fruited it six seasons without winter protection, always 
producing large crops. Canes of strong growth, as hardy as Snyder and very 
prolific. It is much larger than Early Harvest and its delicious sweetness ren- 
ders it of special value for home use or market. It is also free of double bloom 
and other disease. We have had it go through hard spring frosts in blossom- 
ing time without injury, when Lawton and Wilson near by were nearly all 
killed. Plants, root-cuttings. Price, per dozen, 25 cents: hundred, $1.50: thous- 
and, $12.00. Sucker plants $10.00 per thousand. 
IlABIi'7 HARVEST. — Same season as Early King, attractive appearance, firm- 
ness and productiveness. Berries not of largest size, but very uniform, of 
bright glo.ssy black, and excellent in quality. It is not entirely hardy, but suc- 
ceeds in all but very cold sections, and a very slight protection suffices for it 
there. For the south it is especially valuable, and profitable everywhere by rea- 
son of its earliness and productlvene.ss. Dozen, 25 cents: hundred, 75 cents: 
thousand, $5.00. 
WIIiSON’S EARIiY.— Of good size, very early, beautiful dark color, of sweet, 
excellent flavor and very productive. Ripens the w'hole crop nearly together. 
Dozen, 25 cents: hundred, 75 cents: thousand. $6.50. 
KERSEBEATJ BEACKBEBRV. — This early mammoth iron-clad blackberry 
originated in northw'estern New York, where the mercury falls from 15 to 25 de- 
grees below zero, and where it has stood in opeai field culture for a great many 
years without the slightest protection and has never been Injured. It has proved 
hardy here, very prolific, and the fruit is large, sweet and of good color. We 
consider it superior to the Snyder, our standard here in the west. It is hardy 
and quite as prolific as Snyder, and the fruit is much larger and better. TJnsur- 
pessed as a keeper and shipper. Price. Dozen. 75 cents; hundred, $3.00.
