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 blackberries, 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 com- 
mands the highest price; being a berry that retains 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 black- 
berry pies. For prices see page 22. 
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 without winter protection. 
Alfred ripens a week to ten days earlier than Eldorado, pro- 
ducing a heavy crop of fruit. The berries are a glossy jet- 
black, the flavor sweet and delicious, and they are nearly seed- 
less and coreless. The berries are larger than the average 
blackberry, many of them measuring 1% inches in length. 
For prices see page 22.
