ALFRED—Mammoth New Blackberry—Practically Coreless 
Highest Quality—Large Jet Black Berries—-Exceedingly Productive 
These are a few characteristics of the New Alfred Blackberry. This New Variety is taking first place in the 
plantings of the best commercial growers, producing larger crops of finer fruit than Eldorado, Blower and the 
other old reliable kinds. 
For the Home Garden, Alfred is the ideal Blackberry. Think of a bush loaded with tremendously big jetty 
Blackberries from 1% to 1% inches long, 
practically free from seeds, coreless and 
with a pulp fairly bursting with juice. That’s Bearing Age Blackberries

CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
Planting distances, pruning, and general culture same as for Red Raspberries (see page 8). 
Keep suckers thinned out to not closer than 8 to 10 inches apart to insure ample space for fruiting canes 
and which will result in finer larger berries. 
All bramble fruits profit by applications of commercial fertilizers containing plenty of Nitrogen, or 
well rotted manure in early Spring. Soils with plenty of humus are always best for Small Fruits. 
Sulphur dusts during or just prior to early spring rains prevents leaf spot and is an aid in control of 
orange rust. Remove any plants showing disease and burn them immediately. :
