Eldorado Blackberries 
BLACKBERRIES 
The Dish of Kings 
My blackberries are grown only from root cutting plants and 
are extremely heavy rooted and hardy. The fruit is simply delicious. 
Plant in rows 6 to 7 feet apart, plants 3 to 4 feet apart in the row. 
ELDORADO. One of the very hardiest and best. Berries jet black, 
sweet and delicious. Excellent for eating, canning, cooking and 
market. Berries have no hard core and keep well after picking. 
Per 5, 25c; per 10, 40c; per 25, 75c; per 100, $2.65, postpaid. 
EARLY HARVEST. The old standby, very early. Does well in 
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kentucky. Per 5, 25c;

the northern climates. Per 5, 25c; per 10, 40c; per 25, 75c; per 
100, $2.65, postpaid. _ 
LtTCRETIA DEWBERRIES (Coreless Blackberries). Sweeter, 
juicier and larger than blackberries. They are vigorous and 
hardy and the fruit is jet black in color. The bush is a vigorous 
grower, low trailing and resembles blackberries. My plants are 
grown from thrifty, vigorous root cuttings and are much superior 
to the ordinary 1-yr. or 2-yr. old plants. No. 1 Strong plants.

ful red currants with the long stems and bright red 
berries are the largest of all red varieties. Highest 
quality, too.

Very productive, of good size, red fruit. A fitting com¬

GOOSEBERRIES 
For Pies, Jam, Sauce 
A lifetime of fruit! My plants are full fruiting, easy to 
grow and produce abundantly. They grow well in full sun 
or partial shade. 
DOWNING. The largest gooseberry. Downing is a large 
handsome pale green berry of splendid quality. I have 
seen Downing berries an inch in diameter. You can have 
them, too. 
HOUGHTON. I like Houghton because it is sweet and ten¬ 
der. The bushes are always heavily loaded with fruit. 
Pale red when fully ripe. 
JOSSELYN or RED JACKET. Also called the Old English 
Gooseberry. Slightly smaller than Houghton, being 
bright rich crimson in color and sweeter than either of 
these other two berries. Plant a few of these. I have and 
I like them.

BOYSENBERRY 
You can see natural colored photographs of the Boysen- 
berry on the inside back cover in this catalog. It has all 
of the flavors and good points of the Loganberries, Black¬ 
berries and Raspberries. The fruit averages one inch in 
width up to more than 1^ inches in length. The excellent 
flavor and firm flesh make it a favorite with those who have 
tried it. It should be mulched heavily over winter in the 
north; the fruit will repay you many times over for this 
trouble, however.
