Six Gallons of Blackberries From One Plant 
History of the Tree Everbearing Blackberry 
"This new berry came into our possession as a seedling some eight 
years ago, but far from being perfected. After years of patient and pain- 
taking efforts, the undersirable plants have been taken out, leaving us 
now with a variety that comes true and the plants are exactly alike. 
"The first year's growth is inclined to droop to the ground; second 
and third year they put out two to six tree-like canes that attain a height 
of four to six and a half feet, with bushes from five to nine feet across 
the top of the tree-like bush. 
“Due to the nature of their growth and the long period of ripening 
of the berry, we have named it TREE EVERBEARING BLACKBERRY. It 
seems to grow in any soil or climate and has stood twenty below zero with- 
out any injury. 

SIX GALLONS OF BERRIES FROM ONE PLANT 
"We have trial plantings in Central, Southwest and Northwest Texas; 
New Mexico and Louisiana. All are thriving and doing well. 
“With us, this berry has never bloomed earlier than May 1|0th. Berries 
start ripening June 20th and continue through August. The fruits are 
round, good size, sweet, yet enough acid for jams and jellies. Excellent 
keeper, has a rubber-like skin but not tough, making it a wonderful 
shipper, Plants are very thorny, but berries grow on a long fruit stem 
in clusters of seven to thirty berries. Ninety percent of the fruit on our 
vines grows on limbs extending above the thorns. 
Another feature that people like is that the fruit is borne up off the 
ground and ninety-five per cent is free from dirt, regardless of weather. 
"From a two-year old plant we have gathered three gallons, or 24 
pounds. Three-year plants have broken all records with a yield of 6 
gallons, or 48 pounds of fruit from one plant, or at the rate of more than 
7'4, tons per acre, planted 12 by 12 feet, without any fertilizer. 
"We now have some 325 five-year-old plants from which we sold their 
entire crop this year at $1.00 to $1.33'4 per gallon, there being no 
berries on the market when they ripen. It seems to have unlimited pos- 
sibilities as a commercial berry. 
“They have shown no sign of disease that other berries have, or 
of weakening after bearing over a period of years. Instead, they get larger 
and more thrifty. If there isn't an abundance of rain, plant where it can 
be watered. 
"The undreamed of feature of this berry is that people in our 
towns and cities who have been deprived of fresh fruits may now grow 
all the berries they can use for pies, jams and jellies from six plants in the 
yard or small garden, taking no more care of them than a common shrub.
