BLACKBERRIES PAY 
Early Alfred Blackberry 
Alfred has been grown by leading fruit 
growers and proven the Best Early 
Blackberry variety. We unreservedly 
recommend it to our customers as thor¬ 
oughly satisfactory and the equal of any 
blackberry, early or late, when it comes 
to producing big crops and paying 
worth-while profits. Think of a bush full 
of tremendous big blackberries from IV 2 
to 1% inches long, practically free from 
seeds, coreless and with a thick pulp 
fairly bursting with sweet delicious juice. 
That’s Alfred! 
Alfred berries are bigger, brighter 
colored, of better flavor and bring better 
prices right along. Once you grow Alfred 
you won’t be satisfied with any other 
berry—fine, large berries that carry well 
to market. The plant is such a vigorous, 
healthy grower that it produces a good 
crop the first year after planting. With¬ 
stands cold that kills less hardy vari¬ 
eties. Alfred will please you—whether 
raised for pleasure or profit. It is an¬ 
other of our splendid varieties—selected 
for its worth. 
BLOWER—Highly recommended. Large 
size, good flavor, jet-black; good ship¬ 
pers; hardy; prolific bearers. Does not 
winter-kill, and from all indications 
is a valuable kind. 
EARLY HARVEST—This, along with 
Mersereau, is our favorite. The bush 
is perfectly hardy, cane stiff and up¬ 
right. The fruit is of good size, long, 
and has very small seeds. The Early 
Harvest has never failed, despite our 
occasional dry seasons. In productive¬ 
ness the Early Harvest is a surprise 
to everyone, the bushes being weighted 
to the ground with fruit. Set one-half 
of your acreage to this early variety.

MERSEREAU—Some nurserymen have 
a dewberry mixture in the plants 
which they are offering for Mersereau, 
which has hurt the reputation of this 
wonder blackberry. Our Mersereau are 
of the genuine strain, and we feel that 
for a late berry no variety is better. 
Our genuine Mersereau are, without 
a doubt, the blackberry of all black¬ 
berries. It is very large, jet-black, 
luscious and has all the qualities of 
an ideal berry. 
DEWBERRIES 
The Dewberry is a dwarf and trailing 
form of the blackberry. The fruit is 
highly prized as a market fruit owing to 
its large size and fine quality. Set the 
plants two feet apart in the row and 
cover in winter with coarse litter. Should 
be mulched in the spring to keep the 
fruit off the ground.

LUCRETIA—The best known and widely 
planted Dewberry. The fruit is large 
and of good quality, very sweet and 
of delicious flavor. The canes are very 
vigorous and productive. Ripens early. 
AUSTIN—Similar to Lucretia, but not 
its equal in the North. Recommended 
for our southern Oklahoma and Texas 
trade. It originated in Texas. 
THORNLESS—This Dewberry is abso¬ 
lutely thornless. The bush is very 
hardy and makes a vigorous growth. 
Although being a late introduction, the 
Thornless Dewberry is of proven 
merit. It is a good bearer. The fruit 
is very large, jet-black, juicy, sweet, 
and of very fine flavor.
