fruit n u t # 
ICEBERG. —The best white blackberry yet introduced. 
The berries are a snowy, 
translucent white, sweet and 
tender, borne in large clus¬ 
ters very profusely. An 
unique variety. The berries 
of this, mingled with black 
ones, present a beautiful and 
appetizing dish. Not entire¬ 
ly hardy at the far north. 
Midseason. The berries are 
reduced to half natural size 
in the cut. Root cutting 
plants, doz., 40c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 
MERSEREAU. —The cardinal properties of the Mersereau 
are large size, luscious flavor and great hardi¬ 
ness of cane. Berries jet black, large, luscious, melting 
and firm enough to ship well. Canes of strong growth 
and healthy. Unfortunately it is not prolific except upon 
soil that exactly suits it, i. e., clayey loam. Season 
early to midseason; with the Ward, but not so early 
as Kenoyer. Canes grow vigorously upon all soils. Doz., 
35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 
TAYLOR. —An old variety, valuable by reason of its 
exceptional hardiness of cane, superior quality, lateness 
and productiveness. Berries of good size and extra fine 
flavor; rich, sweet and luscious. It is one of the most 
reliable of all blackberries and never fails to mature a 
crop. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 
WILSON and WILSON, JR. —These once popular vari¬ 
eties winter kill so badly and are so unreliable of late 
years that I have discarded them entirely. 
DEWBERRIES 
If to go by mail, add 40c per 100; post free at dozen 
rates, if desired. 
Dewberries prefer a light sandy soil, but will succeed 
upon any except wet land. As the vines trail upon the 
ground, it is necessary to stake them or to use a mulch 
to prevent the fruit from becoming sandy and unmarket¬ 
able. If to be staked, plant in rows four feet apart each 
way; if to be mulched, plant in rows six feet apart and 
the plants three feet apart in the rows. The work of 
trimming, staking and mulching should be done in early 
spring, before the buds have started growth. 
Boston, Mass., April 2, 1911. 
I happened to go to M- April 1st., just the day the 
St. Regis Raspberries arrived. They are splendid looking 
plants and I am much pleased with them.

as large as the largest of them. The canes are hardy 
and exceedingly prolific, thriving everywhere; of slen-

der, trailing habit, and entirely free from disease and 
insect attacks. The fruit is of excellent quality, large 
and handsome; jet black, rich and melting. Ships well 
and keeps well. (See cut.) Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 1000, 
$ 6 . 00 . 
AUSTINS’ IMPROVED. —The earliest dewberry; of ex¬ 
cellent quality and large yield. Berries large, short and 
thick; canes vigorous, hardy and productive. Ripens fully 
a week earlier than Uucretia. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 
1000 , $ 6 . 00 . 
Ontario, Can., Feb. 10, 1911. 
Will you please send me your catalog? In the mean¬ 
time reserve for me 6 St. Regis Overbearing Raspberries 
and two roots of Rosemary. I will send for more things 
when your catalogue comes, as I have always found your 
things very satisfactory.

Currants 
One year plants mailed postpaid at dozen rates, if desired. If by mail at 100 rates, add 50c per 100 
Two year plants are too large to mail. 
A sandy, moist location is best for the Currant, and for this reason it succeeds admirably when planted by a 
stone wall or fence, being benefitted by partial shade. Plant in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart in 
the rows. Keep the ground mellow and free of weeds and grass, using fertilizer copiously. Mulching is necessary 
for the best returns. So soon as the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall, with a pruning knife remove all the old wood 
and cut back the young shoots a third of their length, cutting to the ground enough of these to admit air and light 
into the bush freely. 
Thousand rates of any variety or grade desired, promptly given by letter.
