Two Hills of Dewberries Tied to a Stake. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY —The best of the blackberry family and decided¬ 
ly the most productive. The berries are far larger, and incomparably better 
than any blackberry, and of unequalled excellence, sweet and luscious through¬ 
out; of brightest, glossy black color. The Lucretia Dewberry has received the 
endorsement and highest praise from the best horticulturist in the country. Its 
eminent success in all soils from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Florida, 
is something phenomenal in small fruit culture. - Its trailing habit renders it 
less liable to winter kill. 
AUSTIN’S DEWBERRY —This mikes a stronger growth than Lucretia and 
its canes are nearly twice as large but has the same trailing habit as the Lu¬ 
cretia. The fruit is about same size as Lucretia but of different shape, being 
shorter and thicker. Both Lucretia and Austin Dewberries are as large as the 
Wilson blackberry. The Lucretia is three or four days earlier than Early Har¬ 
vest blackberry, and are two-thirds gone when Wilson commences to ripen, and 
Austin’s is nearly or quite a week ahead of Lucretia, but not as good a shipper, 
being softer, but for a near market where earliness counts for more than firm¬ 
ness, Austin’s will fill the bill. An average yield of either variety is one quart 
per hill, but under favorable conditions this may be exceeded 100 per cent, or 
even more. Price of plants, either variety. 50 cents per dozen by mail postpaid. 
$1.00 per 100; $5.00 per 1000, $22.50 per 5000, or $40.00 per 10000, by express or 
freight, receiver to pay charges.
