The Big Money Maker 
$1000.00 a Year per Acre with Lucretia Dewberries 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money. They rjpen a week or ten days 
ahead of common blackberries, the bulk of the crop being harvested before other 
blackberries start to ripen, so sell at very high prices. 
The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, and the Lucretia is the best of 
them all. The large berries are incomparably better than any blackberry grown; 
of unequaled excellence; sweet and luscious throughout, and of bright glossy black 
color. They are very productive, and the most profitable of. all fruit crops to grow. 
The Lucretia has received the highest endorsement and highest praise from the 
best horticulturists in the country. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to 
winterkill. Lucretia may be propagated from the tips, like black raspberries. It 
does not spread or sucker. 
There are two methods of growing the Dewberry. One is to set the plants 4 
feet apart in the row, with rows 6 to 7 feet apart. Allow them to grow along the 
row in their natural way, removing all the new growth until after blooming time, 
and then allow only enough new vines to grow to provide for the next crop, and 
at the same time shade the ripening fruit. In this way they will ripen earlier 
than they would tied up to wires or stakes, the whole crop being grown in Nature’s 
own way, down among the dewy leaves unexposed to strong rays of summer sun. 
Controlling the new growth each season does away with the necessity of stakes 
or posts and wire. 
The other method of growing is to use short posts and wire. Grown in this way, 
the fruit is much easier to pick, but is not quite as early. The posts need be only 
30 to 36 inches high. Use one wire and in the spring tie all canes onto same, 
holding therai off the ground. Let the new' canes lie on the ground throughout the 
_ growing season, covering them slightiy for winter protection in climates where the 
Lucretia Dewberry ^ winters are severe. Cut away old wood in spring and tie new canes on wire, or 
old wood can be removed soon after harvesting the crop. 
About 1,700 plants are required to set an acre.

NEW THORNLESS YOUNGBERRY 
The Acme Thornless Youngberry is a cross between the 
Dewberry and Loganberry, and is a welcome addition to the 
berry family. Owing to the absence of thorns, the fruit can 
be harvested conveniently arid economically. They are of 
very easy culture. Anyone who has successfully grown 
either Blackberries or Dewberries cari grow Youngberries. 
The fruiting habits are identical with the Dewberry. The 
dark, wine-red berries are very much like Dewberries, but 
considerably larger—25 of them will fill a pint berry basket. 
The sweet, delicious flavor and fine texture of the Young¬ 
berry is unexcelled. It not only makes a fine table berry in 
its fresh state, but has proven very popular for pies and for 
canning. The Acme Youngberry outyields any other cane 
fruit we have found, and has proven perfectly hardy in 
Michigan. Youngberries are good shippers and show great 
possibilities as a commercial crop. Covered by Plant Patent 
No. 4. Complete cultural instructions furnished with each

Cumberland Black Raspberry 
Columbian Purple Raspberry 
This is one of the finest berries ever offered. It is a cross be¬ 
tween a black raspberry and red raspberry, and po.ssesses all the 
qualities of each. The berries are of large size; purple in color; 
seeds small and deeply imbedded in a rich, juicy pulp. They do 
not crumble when picked, are good shippers and good keepers, 
and are better for canning than either red or black raspberries. 
To people who dislike growing the red varieties, on account of 
the “suckers," we recommend Columbian Purple, as it does not 
sucker or spread from the roots, but is propagated from “tips," 
the same as black raspberries. 
The canes are model growers; vigorous and healthy. Will 
grow anywhere; as hardy as an oak; enormously productive; and 
either fresh or canned, is the finest flavored raspberry we ever 
tasted. 
Choice Plants: 6 for 50c; 12 for 90c; 25 for $1.60; 50 for 
$2.90; 100 for $5.25, by parcel post, postpaid. 
By express, not prepaid, $4.25 per 100; $7.50 per 200 ; $10.35 
per 300; $13.20 per 400; $16.00 per 500; or $30.00 per 1,000.
