Proven Berry Plants

KNOTT’S BERRY PLACE 
Trees and Vines 
as for canning - . Ten plants will plant a 
row forty feet long - that will yield crates 
of berries. 
It is the best mid-season blackberry 
for the commercial grower because of 
its hardness, its immense yields, and 
because the public likes the berry and 
buys it freely. 
Macatawa is our finest mid-season 
blackberry and we are increasing our 
acreage again this spring. This variety 
gets ripe just when Advance blackber¬ 
ries are nearly gone and should be 
planted to prolong the season. 
Plant 5 feet apart in rows 8 feet 
across, requiring 1000 plants per acre. 
Prices, Prepaid—Each 15c, 10 for $1.00, 
25 for $2.00, 50 for $3.00, 100 fotr $4.50, 
1000 for $35.00. 
Texas Wonder — This berry is well 
named for it really is a wonder; it is 
big, too, like the state from which it 
came. It originated, a chance seedling, 
on the berry farm of Mr. N. L. Clark at 
Comanche, Texas. It was brought to this 
state by Mr. S. S. Tannehill, who was 
previously a neighbor of Mr. Clark in 
Texas. Mr. Tannehill had the plants sent 
here to him because he found no variety 
of blackberry growing here that he con¬ 
sidered the equal of the Texas AA onder, 
and we believe he was right. 
Like many other blackberries this va¬ 
riety grows quite trailing the first sum¬ 
mer, but after the first season it can be 
grown in bushes. The fruit-buds on the 
canes ’ are much closer together than 
other blackberries and every fruit-bud 
develops a fine cluster of LARGE ber¬ 
ries. The bushes are literally black with 
them, and we really mean BLACK! The 
fruit starts ripening about May 20th in 
this section, and is very firm. It keeps 
well; stands handling well; ships well, 
and sells well. These points make it a 
very desirable blackberry to grow for 
market. Storekeepers like it and will pay 
more for it because of its large and 
showy display on the counter. 
We are increasing our own planting 
and we recommend it to you. This va¬ 
riety makes few plants but grows read¬ 
ily from root cuttings. We will have a 
limited number of plants this season. If 
they are not available when your order 
is received, we will furnish carefully se¬ 
lected root cuttings. The price of these 
will be just half as much as for plants, 
so if your order calls for plants, and we 
are out, we will furnish just twice the 
number of root cuttings unless you in¬ 
struct us to the contrary. Plant root- 
cuttings about four inches deep and 
mark the place where each root is set 
with a little stick so that later it will 
not be damaged when hoeing. 
Plant four feet apart in rows seven or 
eight feet across. 
Prices, prepaid, for plants— each 20c, 
10 for $1.50, 25 for $3.00, 50 for $5.00, 
100 for $8.00, 1000 for $60.00. 
Brainard Blackberry —This berry was 
developed by the U. S. Dept, of Agricul¬ 
ture. It is a cross between the Hima¬ 
laya and an eastern blackberry. It grows 
like a Himalaya, but at a number of 
places where it has been tried, the fruit 
clusters have been larger and the ber¬ 
ries fifty percent greater than Himalaya, 
and the quality better, too. It has proved 
very promising at the experiment sta¬ 
tions in both Washington and Oregon. 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, circular No. 
220, recommends the Brainard for trial 
in all of the warmer sections of the Pa¬ 
cific coast and the southern part of the 
U. S. from Maryland to Texas. This 
berry is so well thought of by the Dept, 
of Agriculture that we feel it should be 
tried at once over as much territory as 
is possible with the small number of 
plants that are now available. To get 
wider distribution without delay we are 
offering the few plants that we have in 
small lots only. Plant at least ten feet 
apart in rows eight feet across. Four 
plants will set out a forty-foot row. 
Prices, prepaid—each 25c, 10 for $2.00. 
A cluster of Texas Wonder black¬ 
berries. This is one of the largest, finest 
and most productive blackberries we 
have ever seen. 
Mammoth Blackberries —Quite a popu¬ 
lar berry for home use, especially in the 
hotter, drier sections. Similar to Corey 
Thornless in every respect except that it 
is thorny and in some localities more 
prolific. The fruit is very large and the 
seed is very small. Not prolific enough 
in many districts to warrant commercial 
planting. 
Cory Thornless — Same as Mammoth 
except thornless and in some districts 
not as prolific. Often shy bearer close 
to the coast. Plant 8 feet apart in rows 
6 feet across. 
Prices prepaid for Macatawa, Hima¬ 
laya, Mammoth, and Cory Thornless 
blackberries. Each 15c, 10 for $1.00, 25 
for $2.00, 50 for $3.00, 100 for $4.50, 
1000 for $35.00.
