Certified BLACKBERRIES 
Eldorado 
The choice of the canner and 
housewife for those good old- 
fashioned jams, pies, pre¬ 
serves and fresh fruit for the 
table, coming just after the raspberry season when but 
little other fruit is available, so people are glad to pay 
well for it. The canes grow sturdy and upright, and are 
hardy enough to need no winter protection. The berries 
are large, uniform in size, jet black, and do not turn red 
after being picked. They have a flavor that always calls 
for more and are firm enough to ship to distant markets, 
assuring good prices. Its hardiness and freedom from 
disease, especially orange rust, the common enemy of all 
Blackberries, has brought it into favor with the grower.

ELDORADO T-ROOT PLANTS are sucker plants or 
shoots which spring up from the roots of the mother 
plants. 
ELDORADO ROOT CUTTING PLANTS are individual 
plants; that is, part of the roots of the old plants are 
cut off and planted in spring. They produce a nice fib¬ 
rous root system and a good top growth, therefore they 
will get a quicker start than the T-roots when planted. 
We are listing them only a little higher than the T-roots 
or sucker plants and they are well worth the difference. 
ELDORADO ROOT CUTTING TRANSPLANTS. If you 
want a crop of Blackberries this year, our transplanted 
root cutting plants will do it. They are sturdy and have 
a fine root system. They have been reset in nursery rows 
for two years, and will bear fruit a few months after 
planting. Of this variety, we have only a limited amount, 
so order now and play safe. 
Westhauser’s Blackberry plants are certified dis¬ 
ease-free, having been twice State Inspected during 
the growing season.

Alf red 
The coreless Blackberry, 
originated in Michigan, the 
state that produces fruit with 
the flavour. The color is a 
glossy jet black, the flavor sweet and delicious, 
and it is nearly seedless and coreless. A hardy 
plant that produces mammoth berries, often one 
and three-fourths inches long. It does equally well 
in cold sections. Why not include a few in your 
order and get started raising this profitable 
berry? For prepaid and F. O. B. prices, see page 31.

VICTORIA.

grown in every garden; it provides 
material for early spring pies and

derful new variety is different from 
the old sorts. The stems are very 
large and tender ; yields very heavi¬ 
ly. 1-yr. roots, 10c each; 6 for 40c; 12

MARTHA WASH¬ 
INGTON. This new 
rust-resisting varie¬ 
ty is the result of 
fourteen years experimenting by the United States 
Bureau of Plant Industry, and as we believe this 
to be the best, we, like other nurserymen, have 
discarded all other kinds. The stalks are large and 
tender, and very productive. One of the most de¬ 
licious, and earliest vegetables grown, develops 
quickly and is profitable for market or for home 
use. With but very little care a patch will last for 
many years. For prepaid and F. O. B. prices, see

SUGGESTIONS FOR RAISING ASPARAGUS 
Any well drained part of your garden or field is good 
for Asparagus. For the garden it can be planted about 
18 inches apart each way, but for field culture rows 4 
feet apart and plants 2 feet apart in the rows is best. 
Make a trench 10 inches deep, put in about 2 inches of 
well-rotted stable manure and cover with earth. Place 
the crowns in this trench, and spread out the roots and 
cover with a thin layer of soil. When they start growing, 
work the soil around them until the trench is full. The 
stalks should not be cut the first year, but the patch kept 
free of weeds. With Westhauser Asparagus Roots you 
will be assured a good crop the second year.
