PAINESVILLE, OHIO 
Small Fruits 63 
^ STRAWBERRIES 
Blakemore (^)* Originated and recommended by the U. S. Department 
_— of Agriculture. Berries bluntly conic, good market size; rarely 
white-tipped, with solid center, small seeds, firm flesh, tough skin. Excellent 
flavor, aromatic, acid, with high pectin or gelatinizing content. The color is 
glossy light red developing quite evenly on both upper and lower sides, only 
slightly changed by holding or canning. Prefers the heavier types of soil. 
- (M). Strong grower with long roots and abundant foliage, ex- 
UlPSOn ceedingly productive. Berries extra large, choice flavored, dark 
glossy red clear through ; follows Premier. 
Sample (Imperfect) (!■), A standard late sort for both home and market. 
Large dark-colored berries in profusion, of uniform size. Should be planted 
with a “perfect” companion ; never alone. 
Senator Dunlap (E). Rampant runner, should be restricted in production 
of plants. Fruit good size, beautiful bright red, glossy; firm, splendid keeper. 
Wm. Belt (M). Vigorous, thrifty, heavy plant, producing large crops under 
good common matted row culture. Berries extra large, conical, quite uni¬ 
form in shape, brilliant glossy red. 
Catskill (M). A thoroughly tested New York variety, adopted in 17 mid- 
_ — die and northern States. It is so productive it needs thinning. 
Very large fruits ; light red from first to last. The quality is excellent. 
Clermont (E)* a new cross between Marshall and Premier; exceptionally 
■ - well adapted to heavy soil. The very large fruits, regular, glossy, 
attractive red—hold up well throughout the season, do not 
bruise easily, and ship well. Quality is excellent. Not rec¬ 
ommended for south of Pennsylvania. 
DorSOtt This new eastern introduction has taken the At- 
lantic berry growers by storm, and is becoming 
one of the most popular and respected in the Middle West. 
Its fruiting season is early and profitably continuous, yield¬ 
ing bumper crops which bring instant market acceptance 
at the very top price. The berry is uniforrnly large, full, 
elongated with rounded extremity. The color is an attractive 
pinkish red, unusual flavor, mild sub-acid. It does exception¬ 
ally well on heavy soil, and surpasses other varieties for 
sweetness diiring protracted rainy season. 
P - * Another new kind which runs with Dorsett; in 
rairiax J^any ways similar, but with sufficient differences 
to warrant growing both. It also produces a heavy crop of 
berries better than average size, deeply conical in shape, a 
more brilliant red than Dorsett and of firmer texture; 
season about the same. The flavor is sweetly luscious and 
creates demand for more. 
Promier smooth, evenly conical form, and large; its 
■ color the commanding glossy red which sells on 
sight, aided artistically by the calyx or cap which remains 
^reen after picking. Quality unsurpassed ; production great¬ 
est of all earlies; plant vigorous, healthy, strongly repro¬ 
ductive. 
IVIastOCiOII Fo’’ ^ number of years Mastodon has had a clear 
■' field, safely outranking all predecessors. De¬ 
spite certain keen recent competition by newer intr<^ue- 
tions. Mastodon remains a top notch everbearer. It is of 
immense size, an almost incredible cropper, of choice qual¬ 
ity, and the strongest grower ever developed. More pro¬ 
ductive than most June bearers, its. fall pickings are suffi¬ 
cient from but a few plants, and very profitable. 
The newest important introduction in the 
OCariex wem “Everbearing” group, and by all reporte 
creates a greater usefulness and value to that class. It is 
credited with bearing within 60 days after the normal spring 
planting; carrying on during the summer, with an immense 
fall crop ending only with the first frosts. Sparkling, glossy 
red fruits uniformly large, that carry and keep better than 
others, due to the tough skin and unusual firmness of_ its 
flesh. The flavor is fine. Three crops, big ones—spring, 
summer, and fall. What more can you ask of a strawberry ? 
Eldorado Blackberries 
Wayzata (New.) Here is another introduction which is 
'■ ' hailed by growers in the great Michigan Straw¬ 
berry Belt as the best “Everbearer” of them all. Would 
you, too, care to try it out and judge its merits ? The berries 
are large, uniform, very dark red, and very sweet. 
Cresco. A cross between Premier and Dunlap. It retains the 
rich color and flavor of Dunlap, with the large size of 
Premier. Solid red to center and fruit red all over.

BOYSENBERRY 
This recent new development in bramble fruits bears a pro¬ 
digious crop of berries about two inches long, fat and juicy 
under the warming sun. These are delectable tid-bits for 
eating out of the hand, and fine glossy black units for table 
dessert or canning and have become exceedingly popular pre¬ 
pared as an unfermented autumn cordial. Should be trained 
on vines (like grapes) in 
spring; untied, laid down and 
mulched for winter.
