BLACKBERRIES. 
NEW VARIETIES. 
Rathbiin—The plant is a strong, erect grower and, 
unlike most varieties, produces but few suckers. 
The fruit grows on long’stemsin clusters. The ber¬ 
ries are large, with no hard core; all is soft, sweet, 
luscious, with a high flavor. It is superior to all 
the well-known varieties of blackberry in cultiva¬ 
tion and in quality. A large proportion of the ber¬ 
ries will measure from li/t to 11/2 inches length, and 
the whole crop is uniform in size. 10c. each, per 
dozen. 
Eldorado—The vines are very vigorous and hardy, 
and their yield is enormous. The berries are large, 
jet black, borne in large clusters, and ripen well to¬ 
gether; they are very sweet, melting and pleasing 
to the taste; have had no hard core. 10c. each, ,*^1 
per dozen. 
WHITE BLACKBERRY “ICEBERG.” 
There is no reason why a white blackberry should 
not be superior to a black one. It is said the Iceberg 
is very productive, the fruit being of medium size and 
transparent, that the seeds can be seen in the berry 
when ripe; fruit grows in large clusters. Said to be 
earlier, sweeter, and much better than Lawton.
