BLACKBERRIES 
Plants will be sent by mail, provided cash is sent for postage, as per table. 
In field culture, plant in rows from five to seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 
variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In the garden, plant in rows five feet apart and the 
plants three feet apart in the rows. 
R. C. preceding the price of plants signifies the plants offered were grown from pieces of 
roots in the nursery rows and are far superior to ordinary or sucker plants. 
We believe we have this season the finest and largest supply of root-cutting and transplanted 
blackberry plants of any concern in the United States. 
THE JOY BLACKBERRY 
Unites superlative quality, ironclad hardiness and great productiveness. 
This variety was introduced by us nine years ago and is rapidly superseding all other sorts. 
It may be briefly described as follows: Canes of stocky, vigorous habit with abundant large 
five-fingered leafage; yields very heavily every year and all the canes are loaded with fruit. 
We have never known any other variety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, with such an inherent 
propensity to bear fruit as the Joy Blackberry. 
It has endured a temperature of twenty-four degrees below zero unharmed, and has not 
been troubled with “Orange Rust,” “Double Blossom” or other diseases of the Blackberry. 
The berries are large and almost as thick through as they are long—a characteristic of 
the variety—and are coal black. In rich, luscious flavor it surpasses all other Blackberries. 
Ripens in midseason with Ward, Blowers and Mersereau. 
„ J°y h as more than “made good,” as it has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the 
nnest and the best Blackberry for American growers as yet offered, both for market growers and 
for the home garden. Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, 
dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 
Blowers.—A variety which possesses the 
quadruple valuable qualities of large size, pro¬ 
ductiveness, absolute hardiness and very pro¬ 
longed season of fruiting. Under high culture 
on fertile soil, the canes often attain a growth 
of from ten to twelve feet if kept untrimmed. 
It yields very heavily for a long season begin¬ 
ning in midseason. The fruit is not only large 
and attractive, but of superb quality. Twenty 
degrees below zero has not harmed it and it 
has yielded at the rate of 280 bushels per acre. 
R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, 
$45.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 
Eldorado.—The excellent flavor and extreme 
hardiness of this variety are notable. Because 
of both of these qualities it is extremely popu¬ 
lar, especially throughout the North and North¬ 
west. Among its other good points might be 
mentioned its early and rather long season of 
fruiting; its healthy and vigorous growth and 
the attractiveness of its fruit, which, though 
of but medium size, is jet black, of good regu¬ 
lar form and is mild, sweet and melting. 
R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100. $4.50; 1,000, 
$40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 
Early Harvest.—An old variety and a fa¬ 
vorite, especially with Western growers. It 
ripens very early, but sometimes is injured in 
winter at the North. The mild, sweet berries 
are small, but firm and symmetrical. 
R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100. $4.50. Trans¬ 
planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $5.00. 
Himalaya.—Although we have received many 
fine reports from various parts of the country 
relative to this variety, at our nurseries it has 
been a shy yielder and the berries have been 
small, though of sweet, brisk flavor. It is a 
climbing variety, producing long canes which 
grow best over stakes or an arbor. 
Transplanted olants, dozen, $1.50: 100, $8.00. 
Iceberg. — Unquestionably the best white 
blackberry as yet produced. Clusters of the 
white, translucent berries are borne very pro¬ 
fusely in midseason and are both sweet and 
tender. It is not as hardy as some of the black 
varieties. As the blossoms are lacking^ in 
pollen, it should be planted - near some black 
fruited variety in order to yield freely. 
R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100. $5.00. Trans¬ 
planted plants, dozen, $1.50: 100, $7.50.
