BLACKBERRIES 
Always Dependable 
Blackberries thrive equally well on any 
light or heavy soil and as they are practical- 
ly immune from all disease and insects, one 
planting will provide a big income for a 
number of years. For field culture, Black- 
berries are usually planted 4 feet apart in 
the row, with the rows 7 feet apart, requir- 
ing about 1600 plants per acre. For best re- 
sults they should be confined to hills, allow- 
ing only five or six strong shoots per hill. 
The new growth each summer should be 
trimmed down to about 24 inches and allow- 
ed to branch-—this gives a stronger, sturdier 
bush. 
ALFRED—This Blackberry has become a 
favorite for home use and market, The fruit 
is of the finest quality for table use, as it is 
nearly seedless and coreless. The flavor is 
sweet and enticing. Berries grow to immense 
size. Ripens early, perfectly hardy, a vigor- 
ous grower. 
ELDORADO—wWever winter-kills and al- 
ways produces a full crop of jet black ber- 
ries of enormous size. The hardiest and 
prettiest of all Blackberries, with that delici- 
ous aroma and flavor which can only be 
found in a wild Blackberry. It is valuable for 
all purposes, both home and commercial, be- 
ing so very firm that it will remain in good 
condition for three and four days, can be 
sent to distant markets where it always 
commands the highest prices,

LUCRETIA 
DEWBERRIES 
To Increase Your Profits 
‘These are a sort of Blackberry, but the vines are not self- 
supporting, as are the Blackberries, The usual method of 
propagation is as follows: They are set 3 feet in the row, 
rows 6 feet apart. Short posts are set about every fifth vine 
and a wire stretched about three feet from the ground. Each 
spring all strong) vines are tied to the wire, and the ends that 
are too long are cut off about ten inches above wire. 
LUCRETIA—This is the best variety of Dewberry that we 
have fruited and is one that gives universal satisfaction. Ber- 
ries are very large, in fact, being larger than any Blackberry 
grown. They are jet black, coreless, sweet and juicy. Dew- 
berries are free from rust and all other fungous diseases. 
Plant at least a few for home use. 
Ripens a week to ten days before the earliest ordinary 
blackberry. This, and the fact that they are unquestionable 
one of the finest looking berries of their kind and of such big, 
uniform size makes them topnotchers on price in any market. 
Dewberries are especially productive in light soils. (Plant 
Lucretia and such land will make you a profit.
