50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per too, $10 per i,ooo. 
WACHUSETT THORNLESS .—A grand berry for ihe family garden, especially at the 
North, as it is perfectly hardy ; strong, vigorous canes, free from thorns; fruit of good size and 
fne favor; ripens medium to late, and continues in bearing for a long time, often into Sep¬ 
tember. Productive under high culture, but will not thrive on drj', thin soils, and with the 
slovenly culture so often given to the blackberry. Price, 75 cents per dozen, $3 per 100, $20 per 
1,000. 
SNYDER.—The one great blackberry for market in the far North, as it is the most 
vigorous, hardiest, productive, and reliable of all; has never been known to winter-kill, even 
in the Northwest, with 25 to 30 degrees below zero. Fruit of medium size and good quality; 
ripens medium to late. The great demand for plants has caused us to devote the best field on 
our farm to its propagation from root cuttings, and we have now the best rooted stock of plants 
we have ever offered. Do not fail to get a sample of our Snyder plants before ordering of 
others. Sucker plants, 50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per 100, $9 per i.ooo; root cutting plants, 75 
cents per dozen, $2 per 100, 3 ll per 1,000. 
EARLY HARVEST.— The earliest blackberry grown. Plant, stout and vigorous ; strong, 
upright canes, branching quite freely; of dwarfish habit; enormously productive. The onlv 
fault we have ever heard found with it, was that it produces too much fruit; single canes of i't 
growing alone, remind one of a miniature tree, loaded with fruib; it is entirely distinct from any 
other sort. The fruit is of good quality, ripe as soon as black, not quite as large as the Snyder; 
shining black color, making a very attractive berry In the basket. One of the most prominent fruit 
growers in the West, who has several acres of it growing for market, says of it: “ It is so far per¬ 
fectly hardy m Souih and South Central Illinois, and has with us endured fifteen below zero, and 
nonh. twenty below without material harm. It is exceedingly prolific, and in all respects 
so far as I have yet seen, excepting its rather inferior size, it is a perfect blackberry. But though 
It is no bigger than Snyder, and possibly not so large, yet it is so early, and it bears so well and 
eats so well, and ships so well, and sells so well, that it has very notable value for a large portion 
of our country." Ripens here in Connecticut with Cuthbert raspberry, and should be planted in 
every family or market garden. 
Pnee, root cutting plants, 75 cents per dozen, $2,50 per 100, $20 per 1,000.
