For the home garden, 
\ Al f Fré d Alfred is the ideal 
Blackberry. Berries up to 1% in. 
long, practically free from seeds, 
coreless and with a pulp fairly 
bursting with juice. 
PLEASE NOTE 
For some time the sterility or unfruit- 
fulness of Blackberry plantings has 
caused considerable concern to growers. 
Both Nurserymen and Experiment Sta- 
tions have been working on the problem 
but to date do not have a complete so- 
lution. This year our Eldorado plants 
have been propagated direct from a 
heavy fruiting commercial block. Al- 
though we cannot fully guarantee it, 
this should be your best assurance of 
securing good heavy fruiting plants.

Lucretia and incomparably _ better 
than any blackberry and of unequalled ex- 
cellence; soft, sweet, and luscious through- 
out; of brightest glossy black color. Most 
desirable variety for Ohio conditions.

BRAINERD BLACKBERRY 
A New Tremendously Heavy Yielding Blackberry for 
the Central, Southern and Pacific Coast States 
A trailing type much hardier and better in all other respects 
than the Himalaya. Brainerd is extremely productive of very 
large clusters of high quality berries when fully ripe and which 
contain relatively smaller seeds than other blackberries of this 
type. The Department of Agriculture has made numerous tests 
of this variety and because of its greater hardiness and tre- 
mendous yields of large, highly-flavored berries has deemed it 
a very worth-while variety and worthy of introduction.

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.
