ments; color deep, glossy red, and quality fit for a king. The plant is as 
large as Bubach, and a much more vigorous grower, while it ripens its crop 
much faster and several days earlier, therefore commands bigger prices. 
Sharpless. One of the largest known. Fine flavor and delicate aroma. 
Clear red, with smooth surface. Requires a rich, strong soil, and good cul¬ 
ture. Vigorous and productive.

Eldorado. The berries of this vigorous and hardy Blackberry are 
large, of the finest quality, and without the hard core of many 
varieties, sweet and pleasant to the taste. The vines arc so 
hardy they endure without injury the severe winters of the North¬ 
west. Dozen, 75 cents ; hundred, $2.50. 
Erie. Fruit large, roundish, uniform in size; excellent quality; 
handsome. A valuable variety for home use or market. 
Lucretia. One of the low-growing, trailing Blackberries. In size 
and quality it equals any of the tall-growing sorts. The plant is 
perfectly hardy, healthy, and remarkably productive, with large, 
showy flowers. The fruit, which ripens early, is often one and 
one-half inches long by one inch in diameter, soft, sweet, and 
luscious throughout; ripe before last Raspberries are gone. 
Should be mulched to keep berries from the ground. 
Minnewaska. Vigorous; quite hardy in this region; very pro¬ 
ductive. Large, jet-black, shining fruit of uniform size, sweet 
and soft to center; ripens early, continuing until middle of 
September. Dozen, 75 cents; hundred, $2.50. 
Ohmer. The Ohmer is one of the best varieties for the home 
garden or the fruit grower, the quality being excellent. The 
berry is of large size, firm, and without the hard core so com -on 
to Blackberries. Plants perfectly hardy and productive. 
Ratiilatin. 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 
surpasses the luscious Dewberry, being without the hard core 
common to Blackberries. 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. All should try at least a few of the best 
Blackberry. Each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; hundred, $4.00. 
CURRANTS 
Choose a moist rich soil for Currants. Plant five feet apart each way. Keep free from weeds and grass by liberal cultivation and mulching. Use plenty of 
manure, and trim out superfluous wood by cutting back the new growth two-thirds each year. Keep the foliage quite free from worms by the timely and liberal 
use of powdered white hellebore. 
Each, 10 cents; dozen, $1.00; hundred, $5.00. At the single and dozen prices we prepay mail or express charges. 
Hundred and thousand lots by express or freight, charges not paid. 
Cherry. Large and productive. Standard for market. 
Black Champion. An English variety. Fruit large, handsome, and highly 
flavored ; extra good for jams, etc. 
Fay’s Prolific. One of the best; very productive; large size; good flavor ; 
and bears early. Adapted to light soils. 
Lee’s Prolific. Black. Best for all purposes. Early, large, and productive* 
Sweet as a huckleberry. 
Red Cross. A new variety, thoroughly tested and found worthy of cultiva¬ 
tion. Plants strong, vigorous, remarkably productive. Clusters large, often 
measuring four inches in length ; berries large. 
Victoria. A splendid variety, ripening two or three weeks later than the 
others, and continuing in fine condition for a long period. Bunches extremely 
long; berries of medium size, brilliant red, and of the highest quality. 
White Grape. Valuable for the table ; quality excellent, mild, and sweet.
