BLACKBERRY 
ELDORADO. We recommend this variety ahead of all 
others. Berries large in size, very sweet, and of delicious 
flavor and quality. One of the hardiest blackberries in 
cultivation ; has never been known to winterkill. Very pro- 
ductive and never fails to ripen a crop. ~ 
(| DEWBERRY 
Lucretia Dewberries are bringing big money. They ripen 
a week or ten days ahead of common blackberries, the 
bulk of the crop being harvested before other blackberries 
start to ripen. 
The Dewberry belongs to the blackberry family, and the 
Lucretia is the best of them all. The large berries are in- 
comparably better than any blackberry grown; of un- 
equaled excellence ; sweet and luscious throughout, and of 
bright glossy black color. They are very productive, and 
one of the most profitable of all fruit crops. The Lucretia 
has received. the highest endorsement and praise from the 
best horticulturists in the country. Its trailing habit ren- 
ders it less liable to winterkill. Lucretia may: be propa- 
gated from the tips, like black raspberries. It does not
