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 11% 
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- 
One acre of Blackberries will net 
more cash money than thirty acres 
of wheat or corn. A proven fact for 
the past five years. 


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.

Rogers’ Blackberries 

Note:—Rogers Offers You Root-Cutting This Year 
This season we offer customers the 
best Blackberry plants grown. They 
are Root-Cutting plants. These plants 
are grown from pieces of fresh, 
healthy roots which are scattered in 
a shallow trench and allowed to cal- 
lous over. From these pieces of roots 
grow out many fibrous roots, giving 
our plants wonderful root systems, 
excelling “sucker plants” commonly 
sold to growers. 
HORSERADISH 
Selected Bavarian variety. Excellent 
for home use; easy to grow. The crowns 
are the whole root and will make hills 
the first year. The cuttings are piece 
roots. We can furnish either crowns or 
cuttings. Crowns, 5 for 50c, 10 for 90c, 
25 for $2.00. Cuttings, 25¢ per 10, 50c 
per 25, $1.50 per 100.

Equal to 2-Year Transplants— 
Costs Less 
Our extra large Root-Cutting Black- 
berry plants are equal in value, size 
and root system to many 2-year 
Blackberry Transplants. It’s the root 
system that counts and Root-Cutting 
Blackberry plants have that to a per- 
fected degree. The tops of our Root- 
Cutting Blackberry plants are large 
enough to be of “bearing age.” 
SAGE PLANTS 
The good, old fashioned kind that you 
use for seasoning sausage and in dress- 
ing for chicken, turkey and duck. Order 
a dozen plants as the home grown prod- 
uct is far superior in quality and season- 
ing to that which is grown and packed 
commercially. 3 for 40c, $1.25 per 10.
