DORCHESTER BLACKBERRIES. 
HOVEY & CO., 7 Merchants’ Row, Boston, offer for sale 
5,000 Dorchester Blackberry. 
This very superior berry has not received the attention its mer¬ 
its deserved. In competition with the Lawton, it has carried off 
every prize before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society the 
last two years. 
, The Committee state in their annual report for 1857, 
* That in each and every instance where they questioned the 
contributors for the purpose of learning their individual opinions 
of the merits of the one or the other variety for market, there 
was not a single dissenting voice as to the superiority of the 
Dorchester over the Lawton. The Dorchester is of superior 
flavor; the berry is much larger, is equally hardy, and fully as 
prolific, bearing carriage well, and retaining its black lustral 
color.” 
Sti ong plants will be sold as follows ; 100 for $10, 50 for $6, 25 
for $3 50, 12 for $2.
