BLACKBERRIES. 
RATHBUN BLACKBERRY. 
The fruit is very large and handsome, intense black with a very high 
polish and without any hard core, juicy, high flavored, of so superior a 
quality that it is in a class by itself. Those accustomed to the old varieties 
would scarcely recognize it for a Blackberry. For table use, for canning 
or for culinary purposes it is equally desirable. It literally melts in the 
mouth. This has some Dewberry blood in it and does best from New York 
City southward. (See cut.) Price, 10c. each, SI.00 per doz., $5.00 per 100, 
$40.00 per 1000. 
CURRANTS. 
Perfection. Awarded the Barry Gold Medal by the Western N. Y. 
Horticultural Society because of its superior merit; the first fruit to 
achieve this distinction. It is a beautiful Currant; the color is a par¬ 
ticularly bright red. Berry and bunch are larger than Fay’s Prolific 
and the size is well maintained to the end of the bunch. A valuable 
feature is its long stem from the bush to the first berry, making it 
easy to pick without crushing the fruit. It is a great bearer, superior 
to any other large sort. Rich, mild, sub-acid, plenty of pulp with few 
seeds. Less acid and of better quality than any other large currant in 
cultivation. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 
Fay’s Prolific. Fruit large, bright red and of good flavor, less acid than 
the old “Red Cherry” which it has superseded; in every way a 
superior variety. 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 
Lee’s Prolific. A fine black Currant and a general favorite. Price, 15c. 
each, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
London Market. The fruit is large, fire-red, and has large, fine clusters. 
It is a good grower, an early bearer, enormously productive. 
North Star. A most popular market sort. Bunches large; berries very 
large, bright. Very agreeable to eat out of hand. 
White Grape. The largest and decidedly the best white variety, and one 
of the best of any for the home table. Price , except where 
noted, 2-year plants, 
10c. each, $1.00 per 
doz., $7.50 per 100.

ductiveness. In size it is the largest, 27 berries filling

riety. Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100.

ness renders it specially valuable for the home garden.
