ALFRED 
—The Mammoth New Blackberry—Practically Coreless 
HIGHEST QUALITY—LARGE JET BLACK BERRIES—EXCEEDINGLY PRODUCTIVE 
These are a few characteristics of the New Alfred Blackberry. This New Variety is taking first place in 
the plantings of the best commercial growers, producing larger crops of finer fruit than Eldorado, Blower and 
the other old reliable kinds. 
For the Home Garden, Alfred is the ideal Blackberry. Think of a bush loaded with tremendously big jetty 
Blackberries from lty to 1% inches long, practically free from seeds, coreless and with a pulp fairly burst¬ 
ing with juice. That’s Alfred. Price of heavy plants, $1.00 per dozen; $1.50 per 25, postpaid; $2.50 per 
This is one of the most valu¬ 
able varieties for market and 
home use. It is a strong, upright grower and the 
fruit is jet black, never coloring red after picking; 
fully as large again as the average Snyder berry. 
The flavor is excellent, imparting a rich aroma, melt¬ 
ing and juicy with but little core. Highly recom¬ 
mended everywhere. 
Eldorado is unquestionably one of the best com¬ 
mercial blackberries grown. Price, $1.25 per 25, 
postpaid; $2.50 per 100; $10.00 per 500; $17.50 
per 1000.

EARLY HARVEST ?,*•..-?Sf & 
most productive of the early sorts. There are a 
number of different strains of Early Harvest Black¬ 
berries, all alike in appearance of wood and growth,» 
but vastly different in productiveness. We noticed 
this peculiarity soon after its introduction, and have, 
by careful system of selection, selected a strain that 
Is simply marvelous for great yields of luscious fruit. 
We have not only increased the productive¬ 
ness, but size as well, and now have an 
early variety that cannot be excelled, as 
it ripens so early that it always sells at 
enormous prices. Price, Scarff’s Fruiting

BRAINERD BLACKBERRY 
A New Tremendously Heavy Yielding Blackberry for 
the Central, Southern and Pacific Coast States 
A trailing type much hardier and better in all other re¬ 
spects than the Himalaya. Brainerd is extremely productive 
of very large clusters of high quality berries when fully ripe 
and which contain relatively smaller seeds than other black¬ 
berries of this type. The Department of Agriculture has 
made numerous tests of this variety and because of its greater 
hardiness and tremendous yields of large, highly-flavored 
berries has deemed it a very worth-while variety and worthy 
of introduction.

Outstanding among the varieties of blackberries in 1938 
was the Brainerd. Its maximum yield is attributed to its 
late blooming which occurred after the May freeze.- Brain¬ 
erd began ripening July 23rd and continued until Septem¬ 
ber 9th and during this period yielded at the rate of 3,672 
pints per acre. The writer believes that this late matur¬ 
ing variety would be an addition to the varieties now used 
in Indiana.—Hoosier Horticulture, Nov., 1938.
