TEXAS FARM EDITOR visited 
Mr. T. S. Ehlert’s farm while Mr. 
Ehlert was picking Blackberries 
from DeSoto Vines which he se- 
cured from us. Below is the Post 
Editor’s photo of Mr. Ehlert and 
one DeSoto vine. 
PATTISON, 
IN THE SUMMER is a regular business for Theo. S. Ehlert of 
July 22.—(Sp)—PICKING BLACKBERRIES 
Pattison. With this new blackberry, the DeSoto, Mr. Ehlert 
will have berries for market until way up in September. This 
vine is four years old and the farmer has to have a stepladder 
to pick the berries from the top. Buds, blooms, green berries 
and ripe berries are on this vine right now.

"2 or More 10 Quart Buckets Full Every Other Day" 
DeSoto, Tlinois, 
Carbondale, Illinois. 
Dear Sirs: 
Enclosed is an actual photograph showing an every other day’s 
picking of your wonderful DeSoto Everbearing Blackberries from 
One row along my garden fence. 
We keep them cut back to a height of not over four feet, causing 
them to spread into a table shape. We pick 2 or more 10 quart buckets 
full of berries every other day for about 74 days and seldom get a 
scratch. 
The huge, sweet, juicy berries are very delicious when used fresh 
on the table, requiring but little sugar to sweeten them. They make 
highly colored, splendid tasting jellies and jams that retain their 
fresh fruit flavor. Also make the best cobblers and pies you ever 
tasted in your life. 
We are very proud of our DeSoto Everbearing Blackberries and 
would not hesitate to recommend them to any of your customers, in 
fact, we consider the DeSoto Everbearing Blackberry the most profit- 
able berry any one can grow. They require but little attention, are 
exceedingly productive, as well as extremely hardy, and we believe 
that with the proper cultivation and pruning, they will prove to be 
just as successful for all of your other customers as they have for 
us. 
Yours very truly, 
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Woolf.

Why wait two years for blackberries? 
Our big, ready-to-bear DeSoto plants bear early after 
planting and continue all summer and fall. 
The big, robust plants grow like weeds, will thrive in 
any kind of soil and bear enormous crops in most sections 
of the nation. Once planted will last for years. 
Several years ago a customer of DeSoto, Illinois, told us 
of blackberries growing in his and his neighbor’s s gardens 
which were yielding a supply of huge, delicious berries 
for about four months every year. Upon investigation, 
we bought the plants and began a series of tests. DeSoto 
exceeded our ‘‘Rosiest Expectations.’’ It not only bore 
all Summer and Fall, but the berries were much larger 
and more highly flavored than those produced on the orig- 
inal plants which had been growing in the same location 
for more than 15 years, during which time they received 
practically no cultivation. Despite the neglect, the fifteen- 
year-old plants were literally loaded with huge, delicious 
berries throughout the entire Summer and Fall. You 
can plant a few DeSoto plants in your back yard or 
along your garden fence and can serve the huge, deli- 
cious berries to your friends for more than four months 
each year. Remember this year Health Giving, Delicious 
Fruit is most important. Be sure to plant some DeSoto 
Blackberries. Order them early so you can plant early 
and get berries quickly,
