THE RATHBUN BLACKBERRY 
Since we introduced this wonderfully prolific and monster 
berry, it has acquired an enviable reputation. It is by far 
the largest Blackberry in cultivation. In quality it sur¬ 
passes the luscious Dewberry, being without the hard 
core common to Blackberries; in fact it melts in the mouth. 
It is the most desirable variety either for table use or for 
canning. The plant is hardy, vigorous, and a great bearer. 
Another strong point in its favor is its habit of rooting from 
the tips, like Blackcaps. It brings more in the market; 
fruit holds to large size throughout the season ; and as a 
shipper it is unsurpassed. The price is so low that all 
should try at least a few of the best Blackberry. Each 
10 cents; dozen $1.00; hundred $4.00; thousand $35.00. 
Blackberry, Agawam. Hardy and very prolific: fruit 
sweet and soft to the center. Early and reliable sort. 
Erie. Fruit roundish, uniform in size, excellent quality, 
handsome. A valuable variety for home use or market. 
Kattatinny. Tender in northern localities, and for this 
cause alone hardier sorts have replaced it. South of 
New York it is uniformly hardy, and in that region it is 
highly esteemed. Strong grower, very productive. 
Berries large, handsome, and of best quality. 
Minnewaski. Vigorous, quite hardy in this region, 
very productive ; large, jet black, shining fruit, uniform 
size, sweet and soft to center; ripens early, continuing 
to middle of September. Doz., 75 cts.; hundred $3.00. 
THE RATHBUN BLACKBERRY 
Snyder. Very hardy. Berries medium size, produced 
abundantly ; sweet, juicy, and without a hard core 
when fully ripe. Adapted to the northwest, where 
other varieties are injured in severe winters. 
Wilson Junior. Moderately hardy, will do well in the 
Southern Middle States, and farther south. Vigorous 
grower and very productive; fruit large, good, early. 
CURRANTS 
Choose a moist, rich soil for Currants, and keep it well 
manured. Plant five feet apart each way. Keep free 
from weeds and grass, and give liberal cultivation. To 
destroy the curiant-worm that feeds on the leaves, dust 
them with powdered white hellebore. 
Each, postage paid, 10 cents ; dozen, $1.00 ; hund¬ 
red, $5.00, except where noted. At the single and 
dozen prices we prepay mail or express charges. 
Hundred and thousand lots by express or freight, 
charges not prepaid. 
All strong two-year-old plants and true to name. 
Currant, Cherry. Large, productive. 
Black Champion. An English sort; fruit large, 
handsome, highly-flavored; extra good for jams, etc. 
Fay’s Prolific. One of the best; very productive, 
large size, good flavor, bears early; adapted to light 
soils. Standard for market. 
Lee’s Prolific. Black; good for all purposes; early, 
large, productive. 
Pomona. Strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy 
and bears profitably the second year after planting; 
we can recommend it as one of the best red currants. 
Red Cross. New variety, fully tested and found 
worthy of introduction ; plants strong, vigorous, and 
very productive; clusters large, often four inches 
long; berries large: fruit grows in masses, giving ad¬ 
ditional facilities in gathering; fruit of superior 
quality ; a trial will both please and satisfy you. 
Victoria. A slendid variety, ripens two or three weeks 
later than the others, continuing in fine condition for 
a long time ; bunches very long, medium-sized bright 
red berries of the best quality.
