Eldorado Blackberry. 
BLACKBERRIES. 
Plant vines six by six, and treat as with raspberries, with the exception that they should be cut back to four feet. 
Eldorado Blackberry. Very liardy, remarkably productive, and superb in quality. Mr. H. E. Van Deman, 
National Pomologist, says: “Never have I tasted any blackberry equal to the Eldorado.” Several of the 
experimental stations speak emphatically of its hardiness , quality, and productiveness. The Ohio experi¬ 
mental station ranks it as hardy as the Snyder, but with a larger berry and of better quality. It is not only 
extra sweet, but is entirely free from the hard core common to most varieties. The berries when picked keep 
exceptionally well. Certainly a blackberry of great promise. Price, per mail, one, 40 ots.; per doz., $3.00; 
per ex., $2.85; per 100, per ex., $20.00. 
Erie. (New.) Says Lovett: u There is no berry that rivals it in the four properties of hardness, size, earliness, 
and productiveness. None will compare with it for market or the home garden. Price, by mail, one, 15 cts.; 
per doz., 95 cts.; by ex., per doz., 80 cts,; 100, $4.00.

Lovett’s Best Blackberry. Mr. Lovett, the well-known nurseryman, thus discourses on his new blackberry: 
“ Its strong points are, enormous yield, great hardiness of cane, earliness in ripening, large and uniform size 
and shape, jet-black color (never turning red after gathered), fine appearance and excellent quality.” It appears to be hardy, having 
been exposed to a temperature of several degrees below zero without injury even to the terminal bud. Price, by mail, one, 20 cts.; 
per doz., $1.80; by ex., per doz., $1.65; by ex., 100, $12.00.

The Salem Grape. The No. 15 of Mr. Rogers’s famous seedlings. This by many is ranked as the 
best of Mr. Rogers’s grapes. The vine is a strong grower, very productive, producing large 
bunches of red grapes of large size, verv sweet, and with the rich flavor of its foreign parent. 
Price, by mail, one, 15 cts.; by mail, per doz., 95 cts.; by ex., 75 cts. 
Green Mountain (or Winchell Grape). An early white grape, ripening with Moore’s Early. 
Clusters are of medium size and often shouldered; berries a little larger than those of the Dela¬ 
ware, greenish white when fully ripe, skin thin and quality fine, pulp being tender and sweet, quite 
free from foxiness. The vines are of vigorous growth and apparently quite hardy. The intro- 
ducers say of it: ‘ We do not believe there is an early grape superior to it in quality. It has 
not failed to produce or ripen a full crop in the three years we have tested it. The vine grows 
as stiong as the Concord, and will flourish in any soil where the Concord grows. It is especially 
well adapted to be grown in northern localities.” This view of the originators we find heartily 
indorsed by the leading nurserymen and grape growers who have raised it. We asked one 
gentleman, who had the most extensive collection of the newer sorts of grapes at the annual ex¬ 
hibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, which of all his numerous varieties he would
