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 Alfred. 
The earliest to 
most productive of the early sorts. Scarff’s 
Heavy Fruiting Strain Early Harvest. 
This is one of the most val- 
Eldorado uable. varieties for market 
and home use. It is a strong, upright grower 
and the fruit is jet black, never coloring red 
after picking; fully as large again as the 
average Snyder berry. The flavor is excel- 
lent, imparting a rich aroma, melting and 
juicy with but little core.

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 prevent leaf spot and are an aid in control of 
orange rust. Remove any plants showing disease and burn them immediately.
