the easiest and least troublesome, and at the same 
time among the most profitable of any the fruit 
grower has todeal with.About the only thing todo 
is to keep tho weeds down and to gather the crop

attention necessary for other berries. They 
mature just before Raspberries and can be used 
either raw or cooked. Being very hardy, they do 
not winter kill and are easy of cultivation, re¬ 
quiring little care. They can be grown in any 
goed garden soil. An acre yields from 200 to 250 
Ijjshcls of fruit, bringing a price of from $4.00 to

Adams New Prolific Elder Berry 
After carefully testing this variety, we found it was superior in productiveness, 
oizo and quality to the wild varieties, and at once arranged for the entire control 
throughout the United States and Canada. We can highly recommend it. 
The following is the description written by Mr. Adams: 
“In describing Adams New Prolific Elder Berry, I will say it originated on 
my place in Cayuga County, N. Y.. about 7 years ago. The plants grow very strong, 
from eight to twelve feet high, and produce great quantities of fruit stems contain¬ 
ing a large number of berries. As high as 1750 berries have been counted on one 
stem. They are of extra largo size, four of them placed side by side measuring one 
inch. The flavor is of the finest and the berries contain but very few seeds. All 
the stock propagated from the original bush is large, and as fine as the original. 
The plants are perfectly hardy everywhere, and this cultivated variety which I have 
originated is far superior to any of the wild varieties that can be found in this 
country.” Why not have a few plants of this Mammoth Elder Berry growing in 
a corner of your garden? You will then have a good supply of berries at your dis¬ 
posal each year, A single plant will produce great quantities.
