New White Blackberry, “Iceberg. 
This marvelous novelty was produced by Luther Burbank 
who describes it as follows. **Owing to the somewhat 
unsatisfactory qualities of White Black berries so far known, 
the impression may have been entertained by some, that no 
White Blackberry could, be as productive and hardy, with 
berries as early, abundant, large, handsome and delicious, 
as the best black ones. 
“The well-known Lawton is, when ripened, unsurpassed, 
and very generally known as the most productive market 
berry. Owing to its fixity of race, it will reproduce itself 
from seed almost exactly, and its seedlings will not l^e in¬ 
fluenced, when raised from seed pollenated by other varieties,- 
but it readily imparts its good qualities when employed as 
the st&minate parent. One of the great grandparents ol 
•Iceberg’ was Lawton. The first generation of seedlings 
when crossed with Crystal White, was all black; the second 
also, though varying much in other respects* but the third 
produced this wonderful plant, bearing the snowiest white 
berries ever seen. It bears loads of delicious, snowy berries 
which are not only white, but so transparent that tne seeds, 
which are unusually small, may be seen in the ripe berries. 
^Clusters, larger than those of Lawton; berries, at least 
as large, earlier, sweeter, and more tender and melting 
throughout, though as firm as Lawton is when ripe.” No 
g arden should be without this grand white blackberry, 
fcrong Plants 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 6 for $1.00.
