Eldorado Blackberry 
Thornless Youngberry H 
25 Will Fill a Pint Berry Basket 
Outyields All Other Cane Fruits o 
The Acme Thornless Youngberry is a cross between the Dewberry and Loganberry, and 
is a welcome addition to the berry family. Owing to the absence of thorns, the fruit can 
be harvested conveniently and economically. They are of very easy culture. Anyone who 
has successfully grown either Blackberries or Dewberries can grow Youngberries. The 
fruiting habits are identical with the Dewberry. The dark, wine-red berries are very 
much like Dewberries, but considerably larger—25 of them will fill a pint berry basket. 
The sweet, delicious flavor and fine texture of the Youngberry is unexcelled. It not only 
makes a fine table berry in its fresh state, but has proven very popular for pies and for 
canning. The Acme Youngberry outyields any other cane fruit we have found, and has 
proven perfectly hardy in Michigan. Youngberries are good shippers and show great 
possibilities as a commercial crop. Covered by Plant Patent No. 4. Complete cultural 
instructions furnished with each order.

BLACKBERRIES 
ELDORADO. We recommend this variety ahead of all others. The berries are large 
in size, very sw T eet, and of delicious flavor and quality. It is one of the hardiest black¬ 
berries in cultivation and has never been known to winterkill. Very productive and never 
fails to ripen a crop. 6 for 50c; 12 for 85c; 25 for $1.35; 50 for $2.15; 100 for $3.80, 
postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 100 for $2.90; 200 for $4.75; 300 for $6.60; 400 for

ICEBERG. This is the white blackberry. It is not merely a curiosity, for in addition 
to being a real novelty it is a berry of extraordinary quality. These shining creamy- 
white berries, when mixed with jet-black ones, make a most attractive dish. The bushes 
are good strong growers and very productive. For best results, this variety should be 
planted near other blackberries. Plants, 20c each; 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.50; 25 for $2.50, 
postpaid. 
Improved Dwarf Juneberry 
A good substitute for the large or swamp Huckleberry or Blueberry which it resembles 
in appearance and quality. The fruits are larger than the Blueberry and ripen earlier in 
the season. Fruits are borne in clusters; are reddish purple in color, changing to bluish 
black when ripe. In flavor it is rich, mild and subacid, and the plants are wonderfully^ 
productive. It is perfectly hardy in all climates, and has an advantage over the Blue-* 
berry in that it does well on all kinds of soil. In addition to its value as a fruit, it. is a 
highly ornamental bush for the yard, especially in early spring, at which time it is a 
mass of pretty white blossoms. Plants, 30c each; 3 for 60c; 12 for $2.00; 25 for $3.75; 
100 for $14.00, postpaid. 
Improved Dwarf Juneberry 
Bush Cherry 
The Improved Bush Cherry is the result of over thirty years of 
hybridizing and plant selection. It fills the need of the small 
home grounds where space is limited. It not only produces fine 
quality fruit, but makes a desirable ornamental shrub. The 
cherries are of fine flavor when eaten in their fresh state and also 
make excellent jams and preserves. 
The fruit resembles a plum in size and shape, but the plant 
grows in the form of a bush, 4 feet tall at maturity, and pro¬ 
duces fruit on all of its branches from the ground up. Bears 
early and abundantly each year. Frequently produces fruit the 
same year as planted. Very easy to grow and does not require 
spraying like Plums and Cherries. 
For ornamental planting, the Bush Cherry has many uses. Its 
low growth makes it ideal for foundation planting, for the low 
shrubbery border and as a hedge plant. The profuse masses of 
white flowers appear early in the spring. The foliage is silvery 
green turning red and gold in the fall. 
We can ship Bush Cherries to any State in the Union.

for all sections of the country. Unsurpassed for preserves and 
jellies. Both fruit and flowers are quite fragrant, and the trees 
and bloom highly ornamental.

These apples are known to the nursery trade as apple 
grafts. From selected apple trees healthy branches are cut 
into lengths about 6 inches long and carefully grafted to 
one-year-old apple tree roots. They are exactly the same 
as we plant in our own nursery to grow into larger trees. 
They should make a growth of from 2 to 4 feet the first 
season, and it will take just one year longer to produce an 
apple orchard of bearing age from our apple grafts than it 
will from our standard one-year-old trees. We recommend 
the larger trees to our customers who can afford to pay 
the difference in price, but if you can't afford to buy the 
older trees, then, by all means, add a dollar to your order 
for this collection and get an apple orchard started this 
year. 
They will be delivered to you at the proper planting 
time, all ready to set out, with complete cultural directions. 
These small apple trees (grafts) are sold only in collections 
consisting of one each of the above 8 varieties for only 
$1.00, postpaid. See quarantine notice on page 114.
