BLACKBERRIES 
Always Dependable 
Blackberries thrive equally well on any light or 
heavy soil and as they are praetically immune from 
all disease and insects, one planting will provide a 
big income for a number of years. For field culture, 
Blackberries are usually planted 4 feet apart in the 
rcw, with the rows 7 feet apart, requiring about 1600 
plants per acre. For best results they should be con- 
fined te hills, allowing only five or six strong shoots 
per hill. The new growth each summer should be 
+ 
trimmed down to about 24 inches and allowed to 
branch—this gives a strenger, 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, 
2 vigorous grower. 
ELDORADO—Never winter-kills and always pro- 
duces a full crop of jet black berries of enormous 
size. The hardiest and prettiest of all Blackberries, 
with that delicious aroma and flavor which can only 
be found in a wild Blackberry. It is valuable for all 
purposes, both home and commercial, being so very 
firm that it will remain in good condition for three 
and four days, and can be sent to distant markets 
where it always commands the highest prices. 
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 Dew- 
berry that we have fruited and is one that gives 
universal satisfaction. Berries are very large, in 
fact, being larger than any Blackberry grown. 
They are jet black, coreless, sweet and juicy. 
Dewberries 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 unquestionably 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.
