Eldorado. In quality finest of all cultivated Blackberries, surpass- 
ing even the old VVachusett. Fruit is of good size, early, and the 
canes perfectly hardy. With us it has not been very productive, 
but we know of fields near by, on heavier soil, where it produces 
bountiful crops. 50 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 
Mersereau. Named by Professor Bailey, of Cornell University. 
He thus describes it in Cornell Bulletin, No. 99 : “A variety 
resembling Snyder, from which it was derived. Several years ago 
the originator noticed an extra large, strong bush among his Sny- 
ders, and began to propagate from it. He is now changing his 
whole plantation to this variety. It is one of the most promising 
varieties 1 know.” The points of superiority over Snyder are given 
as follows : “E xtreme hardiness, large size and greater productive- 
ness ; has less tendency to turn red after being picked, selling for 
2 to 3 cents more per quart, and is of delicious quality. Its fruiting 
season continues into September.” Not fruited here yet. f 1 per 
doz., $5 per 100.
