60 STAR OR WONDER BLACKBERRY 
Blowers Giant Blackberry 
Known also as Ewing’s Wonder 
A wonder indeed! In growth, excellence and productiveness. The canes are like grape 
vines in vigor growing under favorable conditions twenty feet or more in a season; the 
fruit, is of the highest quality and asingle plant has produced over eighty quarts of ber¬ 
ries in one year. The berries are coat black, extremely firm, as large as those of the 
Ward, or any of the popular varieties melting and of sprightly flavor. It has undoubt¬ 
edly descended from the widely known cut-leaf or evergreen blackberry, but is unlike it 
in flavor and ten times as productive. It holds its leaves until well into the winter and 
the canes are very hardy and are entirely exempt from fungus and insect attacks. 
The following statement does not read like a conservative one, yet it is, and 
was made by conservative men of authority. It was issued by Mr. Franklin 
Dye. secretary of the New Jersey State Board of Agriculture, after visiting the 
grounds of. Mr. Ewing, in company with a number of eminent horticulturists : 
1 he Ewing’s Wonder Blackberry is all its name implies and exceeds in productive¬ 
ness the most sanguine expectations.When the promoter first told us of its growth and 
yield we were decidedly skeptical and thought he was romancing. A visit to the 
farm and to the blackberry field and inquiries among the neighbors dissipated all doubt,

tewing s Wonder * Photo of Cluster size, compact in structure, 
and of the finest flavor. 
The plants are trained up¬ 
on arbors, which they out¬ 
grow rapidly unless their 
growth has been anticipat¬ 
ed by the erection of a ca¬ 
pacious one. and it grows 
in clusters, something like 
grapes. Runners from the 
parent stem usually grow 
not less than twenty-eight 
feet and there are usually 
several of them. Farmers 
who give attention to berry 
raising cannot afford to be 
without this plant.” 
An extremely unique and 
valuable blackberry, total¬ 
ly unlike any other in gen¬ 
eral cultivation.

BLOWERS GIANT BLACKBERRY 
In describing it a large fruit grower says: “Blowers is such a sturdy grower that the canes.if 
unchecked, attain a height of 10 to 12 ft. and are as hardy as an oak.” The Blowers yields very 
heavily and for a long season. The fruit Is large, handsome, and of superb quality, very juicy, 
with small seeds. Mr. E. P. Powell, the well known horticulturist, declares:“Thebest I have ever 
tested.” Its canes have endured a temperature of 20 degrees below zero unharmed.and it has 
yielded at the rate of 280 bushels per acre. Begins to ripen in midseason,continuing a long time.

One of the valuable varieties for home and market use. 
A strong, upright grower, moderately full of thorns. Is 
about equal to Snyder in productiveness. The fruit is jet

again as the average Snyder berry. The flavor is excel¬ 
lent, differing from all others in that respect, imparting a 
rich aroma, melting and juicy, with but little core. Highly 
recommended by experimental stations and growers eve¬ 
rywhere. Berries sell for 50c. to $1 per bushel in advance

RASPBERRY 
This wonderful berry is a surprise 
in many ways — its great growth, ex¬ 
treme hardiness, and the exceeding 
productiveness of its choice purple, 
pure flavored berries. It will pay to 
grow it everywhere. Not a novelty, 
but a variety of great merit. Leading 
horticulturists say that it is one of the 
wonders of the centu> y, exceeding all 
others. The president of the Kansas 
State Horticultural Society said, at a 
meeting of the society, that the Cardi¬ 
nal Raspberry would add millions to 
the wealth of the farmers of the coun¬ 
try because of its great vigor and ex- 
coeding productiveness.
