dition for long shipments. The Atlantic is also 
entirely free from rust and one of the strongest- 
growing and healthiest plants of the blackberry 
family; while the vines are well supplied with 
thorns, the berries are easily picked, owing to the 
fact that large, productive clusters are held well 
above the bushes, and in gathering the fruit it is 
not necessary to come in contact with the thorns. 
For this reason it is as easily picked as any other 
variety. The season of ripening is another very 
important point in its favor; the main crop here 
ripens in August and runs until September, or after 
all other Dewberries and blackberries are gone, 
except the Nanticoke blackberry, which is too soft 
to ship a long distance. The Atlantic Dewberry is 
the most vigorous, the most productive, the black¬ 
est, the firmest and the latest Dewberry in existence, 
and commands excellent prices on the market. 
AUSTIN (Mayes). An early Dewberry of excel¬ 
lent quality, berries are large and thick, but not so 
firm as those of the Lucretia. It is very hardy, and 
seldom fails to give a good crop. We always plant 
a part of our field in Austin in order to start the 
season at the earliest date. The Austin ripens with 
us about a week earlier than the Lucretia, and for 
this reason it is valuable to grow in connection with 
that variety. While not quite so firm, if 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. 
LUCRETIA. Earlier than the earliest black¬ 
berry, as large as the largest, and the most largely 
grown of all Dewberries for market. Of a slender, 
trailing habit and entirely free from diseases and 
insect attacks, the canes are very hardy and exceed¬ 
ingly prolific, thriving almost everywhere; the fruit 
is superb, large and handsome, of rich black, and 
the quality is very fine. It is undoubtedly the best 
shipping variety of all the Dewberries in cultivation 
except the Atlantic, which we offered last season 
for the first time. It is always eagerly sought for in 
market and brings the best prices. (See page 25.) 
LOGANBERRY 
The vine is an exceedingly strong grower, trailing on the ground like the dewberry. Fruit is rather 
long, often an inch or more in length, dark red, with the shape of the blackberry and color of a red rasp¬ 
berry, and the flavor a combination of both. It is claimed to be a cross of the blackberry and raspberry. 
No Reason for Complaints 
Plants came to hand in fine condition; never saw better. Wish 
all plant-growers would be as square as you are; I have been 
dealing with you for several years and never a complaint from 
me on your goods—no reason for any.—C. C. Muhlbach, 
Highland Co., Ohio, May 7» 1914* 
Canada 
We beg to acknowledge shipment of Strawberry plants, which 
arrived in first-class condition. They are nice plants and we 
are much pleased with their appearance.—H. L. McConnell 
& Son, Ontario, Canada, April 29, 1914. 
Everybody Said They Were Fine 
Your plants came in good shape and were nice and moist, 
which looks good to me now, and if they do not do well it will 
not be your fault, it will be mine. Everybody who saw them 
said they were fine. Thank you for your promptness in ship¬ 
ping.—M. P. Grinels, Middlesex Co., Va., April 13, 1914. 
Newfoundland 
We received the box of plants from you in splendid condition 
we do not remember ever receiving finer stock, and another 
season we expect to give you an order for 20,000 plants.— 
C. R. Steer, Newfoundland, May 2, 1914.
