DEWBERRIES 
Austin’s (Mayes). An early Dewberry of excellent 
quality. I always plant about one-third of my field in Austin’s 
and the remainder in Lucretia. It is very hardy and seldom 
fails to give a good large crop. The berries are large and 
thick, but lack firmness for long shipment, hence valuable 
chiefly for home or local market. If, however, they are kept 
picked up close as soon as ripe and not allowed to remain 
too long on the vines, they may be shipped a reasonable 
distance, and prices will usually compare very favorably with 
other varieties, as you get extra-early fruit, which is in better 
demand. Austin’s ripens with me about a week earlier than 
Lucretia, and for this reason is valuable to grow in connec¬ 
tion with that variety. Dewberry plants should be planted 
very early in the spring, as they start to grow early, and the 
sooner they can be planted the better. Any time when the 
'ground is not frozen is suitable for planting them, even in 
the winter. Do not wait until very late in the season and 
then blame the plant-grower if your plants do not do as 
well as you expected. We can fill your order any time after 
you receive this catalogue. 
Lucretia. The most largely grown of all the Dew¬ 
berries for market. It is earlier than the earliest black¬ 
Cluster of Dewberries 
berry and as large as the largest of them. The canes are very hardy and exceedingly prolific, thriving 
almost everywhere; of slender trailing habit, and entirely free from disease and insect attacks. The 
fruit is superb, large and handsome; jet-black, rich and melting. It is probably the best shipping variety 
of all the Dewberries in cultivation. 
THE STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 
The Loganberry 
The plants arrived in fine condition.—J. Wm. May- 
bury, New Haven Co., Conn., May 6, 1911. 
From Bermuda 
Your favor of the 10th came duly to hand on Monday 
last, 14th, together with shipment of Strawberry 
plants. They arrived in splendid condition, and I have 
to thank you for your prompt attention.—R. Kempe, 
Bermuda. 
The Strawberry-Raspberry begins to ripen about the same time as the raspberry. The canes die down 
every season after fruiting and do not require trimming. The ground can be cleared of all growth in the 
fall, or preferably in early spring, and the new sprouts will appear and grow rapidly and bear fruit the 
same season. It requires little attention, especially when planted in good soil. The plants should be set in 
a row about 18 to 24 inches apart and from 3 to 4 inches in depth. They are perfectly hardy and do well in al¬ 
most any climate. The plants attain a height of 2 to 3 feet, producing fruit in branching clusters, bearing 
ripe fruit, small green berries and large white blossoms 
at the same time, presenting a beautiful appearance. 
The berries are unusually large, two or three times as 
large as the red raspberry, bright red in color, and of 
excellent flavor. The fruit preserved or cooked is very 
good. It is claimed the fruit has been sold for 20 cts. 
per quart, which may be true; nevertheless, I do not 
think there would be a large sale for it; for one reason, 
it does not carry well. The plant or shrub, however, 
I am more inclined to recommend as a curiosity 
and for its ornamental value. $1 per doz. $1.50 for 25. 
LOGANBERRY 
(Blackberry-Raspberry) 
The vine is an exceedingly strong grower, trails 
upon the ground like a dewberry. Fruit is often an 
inch or more in length, dark red, with the shape of a 
blackberry, the color of a red raspberry, and the 
flavor a combination of both. A splendid shipper, 
now widely known and deservedly popular. I have an 
excellent stock of very fine plants of this desirable 
berry and shall be pleased to have your orders. $1 per 
12, $1.50 for 25, $2.75 for 50, $5 for 100, $20 for 500.
