A customer of DeSoto, Illinois told us, some 
three years ago of a blackberry growing in his 
and his neighbors gardens which were yielding a 
fine supply of huge delicious berries for more than 
four months every year. 
We investigated and bought the plants and began a 
series of tests. During the three years of tests the berry 
has exceeded our “rosiest” expectations. It not only 
bears all summer and fall, but the berries are much larger 
and more highly flavored, than those produced on the 
original plants. The berries on our test plant are larger 
because the test plants are carefully cultivated. The 
original plants have been growing in the same location for 
more than fifteen years, and during that time have re¬ 
ceived practically no cultivation and but very little care. 
Despite the neglect, the fifteen year old plants are liter¬ 
ally loaded with huge delicious berries throughout the 
entire summer and fall. Since we began testing this berry 
we have searched all the horticultural records and have 
failed to find any berry listed that would compare with 
this variety in any way. As the origin and parentage of 
this berry is unknown we have named it DESOTO in honor 
of the village in which it was first found. 
In the same garden where the DeSoto has been fruiting 
for more than 15 years, many other varieties which were 
planted during that time have been killed by rust and 
other blackberry diseases. The DeSoto plants have never 
been attacked by either insect pests, rust or other black¬ 
berry diseases. The big robust plants grow erect and re¬ 
semble small 6 to 8 feet, heavily branched trees. 12 of 
the big husky DeSoto plants will provide fruit enough for 
an average family four months out of each year. 
DeSoto plants will give you a fine 
supply of huge, delicious berries, 
every day for more than four months 
out of each year. 
The big robust plants are so thrif¬ 
ty they will not be effected by either 
hot, dry or wet weather. 
You can plant a few of the DeSoto plants in your back 
yard or along your garden fence and can serve the large, 
sweet delicious berries to your friends during the sum¬ 
mer and fall, then watch the expression of wonder on 
their face as they taste this new and unusual flavor for 
the first time. BE THE FIRST IN YOUR NEIGHBOR¬ 
HOOD TO HAVE HUGE DELICIOUS BLACKBERRIES 
IN THE FALL.
