ZILKE'S BLACKBERRIES 
ELDORADO 
Leading Commercial Variety 
Eldorado never winter-kills and always 
produces a full crop of jet black berries of 
enormous size. The berries are large, and 
the hardiest and prettiest of all blackber- 
ries, with that delicious flavor which can 
only be found in a wild Blackberry. This 
makes it very valuable for all purposes, 
both home and commercial, being so very 
firm that it will remain in good condition 
from four to six days and can be sent to 
distant markets where it always commands 
the highest price; being a berry that re- 
tains its rich, glossy black color until it is 
consumed. This berry is the choice of the 
canner and housewife, as it makes the best 
of jams, preserves, jellies, cordials and 
such good old time blackberry pies.

NEW EVERBEARING | 
BLACKBERRY 
This new everbearing blackberry is one of the 
latest creations in blackberries. They bear enor- 
mous crops for three months, beginning to ripen 
just after the Alfred and continue almost until 
frost; the berry is large, of good quality, melting 
in your mouth and does not have the large core 
that is so common in so many kinds of black- 
berries. The canes are husky growing plants, 
standing erect, resembling small trees and branch 
heavily. We have only a very few plants to offer 
this year. Strong 1 yr. plants, 4 for $1.75.

ALFRED 
Best Early Blackberry 
Alfred is a healthy, vigorous grower 
and produces nearly a full crop of fruit 
the year after planting. It is perfectly 
hardy and can be grown anywhere with- 
out winter protection. Alfred ripens a 
week to ten days earlier than Eldorado, 
producing a heavy crop of fruit. The 
berries are a glossy jet-black, the flavor 
sweet and delicious, and it is nearly seed- 
less and coreless. The berries are larger 
than the average blackberry, many of 
them measuring 1% inches in length.
