IHE WONDERFUL SEW HYBRID BERRIES. 
HYBRIDS BETWEEN THE RASPBERRY AND BLACKBERRY, 
Creating a New and Entirely Distinct Fruit of Great Value. 
'J'hese are hybrids between the Raspberry and Blackberry, produced by Luther Burbank, the 
well-known horticultural expert. We have owned the entire stock of these two great berries 
for five years, and have thoroughly tested them. Primus was first offered three years ago and 
has given great satisfaction. Phenomenal is offered now for the first time. Both are hardy, 
vigorous, enormously productive, and berries of wonderful size—perfect giants—while in quality 
they are so preeminently fine as to leave nothing to be desired. 
PRIMUS. 
This is one of Mr. Burbank’s 
greatest productions, and he 
says of it: “ This was my first success with 
Blackberry-Raspberry Hybrids, and it has been 
fully tested for several seasons. It is one of 
the most productive berries known, and is larger 
and more regular in shape than any other ber¬ 
ry. Its flavor is unique ; nothing like it has be¬ 
fore appeared. All pronounce it superior when 
cooked, and eaten raw it is claimed to be the 
best berry ever tasted.” 
This berry is really enormous in size of fruit 
and vigor of growth. Its flavor is like that of 
a Raspberry and Blackberry combined ; fruit 
long and handsome, of a Mulberry-black color. 
Its season of fruiting is earlier than either the 
Raspberry or Blackberry, following closely up¬ 
on the Strawberry, often before Standard Black¬ 
berries commence to bloom. Bushes incline to 
a trailing habit, and are best trained upon wires, 
like Grapevines. It is somewhat of a perpetual 
bearer, showing more or less fruit all summer. 
In a greenhouse it is a great thing, for it will 
fruit splendidly all winter, and prove exceed¬ 
ingly profitable. It is as hardy as an Oak in 
any climate, and a sure cropper every year. 
Price, 40c. each ; 3 for $1.00 ; 7 for $2.00. 
PHENOMENAL 
Of this Mr. Burbank 
says : “ This is larger 
than the largest berry ever before known. It 
has a bright crimson Raspberry color, is as 
productive as could be desired, and the most 
delicious of all berries for canning and drying. 
The berries grow in clusters of 5 to 10 or more 
each, and individual berries measure 3 inches 
around one way, by 4 inches the other way, 
and weigh one-quarter ounce each ; even larger 
ones were weighed and measured last season, 
and when exhibited provoked the question, 
Will they be sold by the dozen ?’ ” 
We have found this berry to be all that is 
claimed for it—phenomenal in every particular. 
Its beautiful bright color contrasts charmingly 
with the glossy black of Primus. An expert 
pronounces this “ the greatest wonder of all.” 
It tastes and looks like both the Raspberry and 
Blackberry. We are offering this splendid berry 
this season for the first time. It is one of the 
most remarkable of all new fruits seen during 
this generation. A berry of sterling worth in 
every particular. It is twice as large and in 
every way superior to the new Logan berry 
which is being so highly praised. Price of strong 
plants, 60c. each; 2 for $1.00; 7 for $3.00. 
... Eleagnus Longipes ... 
This is a new fruit from Japan, and was, we think, first seen in fruit at the summer residence 
of Mr. Chas. A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun. For two or three years many people have 
been to see it and to taste it, and it seems that no one ever tires of praising it. It has fruited 
elegantly in our own grounds now for two summers, and as a rare or fancy fruit it is one which 
is sure to delight its possessor. It is a shrub, fruiting when only three or four feet high, and 
probably never exceeds five or six feet when fully grown. The fruit is borne in quantity the 
whole length of the branches, is oblong or olive shape, and about the color of a dark red cherry. 
It has a small pit and an excellent flavor, being rich, juicy, sprightly, and more luscious than 
the cherry. It ripens in July and August and the fruit remains in good condition a long time 
before dropping. The bush is perfectly hardy and robust. Price, 25c. each; 5 for $1.00.
