ANDREWS BERRY FRUITS 
NEW LOWDEN BLACKBERRY 
This new Blackberry was originated in Canada by Mr. 
Edward Lowden, and all reports indicate it is a decided 
improvement over older sorts. Mr. Lowden, writing Au- 
gust 18, 1938, reported that he had just finished harvesting 
the finest crop of the New Lowden Blackberries he had 
ever grown and that they had sold at prices approximately 
50 per cent higher than the prices brought by Blackberries 
of any other sort. 
The general growth, cane and foliage, of Lowden closely 
resembles Eldorado. The berries are excellent quality, 
fully as good, if not better, than Eldorado. It ripens at 
about the same time, but is more dependable and heavier 
yielding. 
The outstanding features of Lowden over other sorts 
including Alfred, is its prolific fruiting and hardiness. 
Supply of plants limited this year. Prices, page 34-D. 
ALFRED BLACKBERRY 
The large, jet-black berries are sweet and juicy, and are 
often 11/4 inches long. It is called the coreless Blackberry. 
For best results in the north we recommend winter pro- 
tection. It is about a week to 10 days earlier than Eldorado 
and more productive. Prices, page 34-A. 
CUMBERLAND 
Cumberland is a good old stand-by. The fruit is medium 
in size and of fine flavor. It is a heavy cropper and very 
dependable, especially when the canes are laid down and 
covered with earth during the winter time. Cumberland 
has stood the test of time and probably is still the most 
widely planted of all Blackcaps. Prices, page 34-B. 


SODUS PURLECAP 
A new Purplecap originated by the New York Experiment Station. 
Lowden It is extremely vigorous, hardy and drought resistant. In our experi- 
Blackberry mental plots Sodus has surpassed all others in growth of cane and 
in production. The berries are large, firm, medium purple in color, 
sprightly and good in quality. It ripens shortly after Latham. Sodus 
is an exceptionally heavy producer and is proving out to be the most 
dependable and profitable of all Purplecaps. It does not require winter 
protection in Minnesota. Prices on page 34-B. 

BOYSENBERRY 
Said to be a cross between the Loganberry, raspberry and black- 
berry. A very large berry and very productive. It should be given 
protection in this northern section. Prices, page 34-C.
