BLACKBERRIES 
Alfred. Everywhere Blackberries can be 
grown the Alfred does well. Plants 
hardy and productive. Fruit ripens a 
week earlier than Eldorado and has a 
long ripening season. Blossoms and 
ripens fruit at the same time. Berries 
large, sweet and fine flavor. 
Blowers. Originated in the celebrated 
small fruit belt of Chautauqua County, 
N. Y. One of the hardiest, most pro- 
ductive of the finest quality and brings 
on the market the highest price of all 
Blackberries. 
Eldorado. H. E. VanDeman tecom* 
mends this variety thus: ‘This berry 
was noted last year, and is of much 
promise. It is an oblong, irregular berry 
of large size, fruiting in pendulous, slen- 
der, hairy spikes with few thorns. Color 
black; flesh deep crimson with tender 
core; flavor sweet, rich quality and 
very good. 
Snyder. Extremely hardy, enormously 
productive; medium size, no hard, sour 
core; very few thorns and they are 
nearly straight and short. One of the 
hardiest sorts and most profitable for 
market. 
RASPBERRIES 
RED AND PURPLE VARIETIES 
Chief. This variety is an offspring of the 
famous Latham Raspberry. This is the 
new early ripening red Raspberry of the 
Latham type. The Chief ripens about 
10 days earlier than Latham, bridging 
the gap between Strawberries and other 
Raspberry varieties. Remarkable root 
development. By planting both Chief 
and Latham varieties the grower can 
extend his season of revenue. 
Columbian. Color dull purplish-red. 
Bush is a strong grower attaining a very 
large size. Good variety for home use 
but more recommended for commercial 
planting. Should be planted 2 ft. 
farther apart than any other variety. 
Cuthbert. A remarkably strong, hardy 
variety; stands the northern Winters 
and southern Summers. Berries very 
large, conical, rich crimson, very hand- 
some and so firm they can be shipped 
hundreds of miles by rail in good condi- 
tion. Flavor is sweet, rich and luscious. 
Latham. The Latham Raspberry is un- 
doubtedly one of the biggest money- 
maker of all Raspberries. It is one of 
the finest looking red Raspberries on 
the market and produces tremendous 
crops. An extremely large berry, some 
measuring an inch in diameter. The 
coloris attractive dark red and the qual- 
ity is the very finest. In an official test 
conducted by the Connecticut Agricul- 
tural College under the supervision of 
W. H. Darrow, fruit specialist, the 
Latham produced 1,782 quarts more 
per acre than the best of other varieties 
tested with it. In this test the Latham 
variety produced 5,430 quarts of fine, 
luscious red Raspberries per acre. Our 
Latham plants are the finest that can 
Pe obtained and are absolutely disease 
ree.

New York Experiment Station. Plants

STRAWBERRIES 
There are hundreds of varieties of 
Strawberries and most of them are good, 
with favorable conditions. Conforming 
with our policy of careful selection we 
have chosen only the best varieties that 
will flourish almost anywhere. Perfect 
flowering varieties planted alone will ma- 
ture a crop of truit. Imperfect varieties 
should have perfect varieties planted with 
them—at least one row of perfects for 
every two rows of imperfects to furnish 
pollen. We indicate after each variety 
(Per.) for perfect varieties and (Imp.) for 
imperfect.
