Hybrid Berry, prints. 
A hybrid between n Blackberry and a Raspberry. Wo 
have owned the entire stock for three years and it has been 
tested thoroughly. It is one of Mr. Burbank's greatest 
productions, and lie says of it: " This was my first success 
with Blackberry-Raspberry Hybrids, and it lias 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 berry. Its flavor is unique; nothing like it has 
before appeared. All pronounce it superior when cooked. 
F "-d eaten raw it is claimed to bo the best berry ever 
ted.” 
This berry is really enormous in size of fruit and rigor 
of growth. Its flavor is like that of a Raspberry and Black¬ 
berry combined ; fruit long and handsome, of a Mulberry- 
black color. Its season of fruiting is earlier than cither the 
Raspberry or Blackberry, following closely upon the Straw¬ 
berry, often before Standard Blackberries commence to 
■loom. 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 ail summer. 
In a greenhouse it is a great thing, for it will fruit splendid¬ 
ly all winter, nnd prove exceedingly profitable. It Is as 
hardy as an Oak in any' climate, and a sure cropper every 
year. 
t This is one of the most remarkable of all new fruits seen 
luring this generation. A berry of sterling worth in every ! 
irticular. It is twice as large and in every way superior to j 
,e New Logan Berry which is being so highly praised. 
Price, 60c. each; $ for $ 1 . 00 ; 6 for $$.60.

some fruit of delicious quality. The berries are dark 
• •berry in color, and when ripe are rich and sugary. 
Keepsake. Very large, light green, and of the richest qual¬ 
ity. Considered to be the flnest new Gooseberry in many 
years. Strong grower and an immense cropper, like In¬ 
dustry, but one or two weeks earlier. Blooms late after 
frosts, and is therefore a sure cropper. 
Lancashire Red. In size the berries are the largest known, 
almost rivaling plums. Color, a rich plum-red, while the 
quality is exceedingly sweet and delicious. The plant is 
entirely free from mildew, being an exceedingly strong
