You Can Plant Scarff's 
Blackberries with Assurance 
of Getting Fully Developed 
Clusters of Rich Ripe Fruits 
‘One year’s results at the New York State 
Agricultural Experiment Station indicate 
that the failure of blackberry fruits to de- 
velop normally may be eliminated by spray- 
ing the plants a few days before bloom with 
DDT at the rate of one pound of actual DDT 
to 100 gallons of water.”

well pleased with it.

aroma, melting and juicy with but little 
core.

most productive of the early sorts.

Brainerd Blackberry 
A New Tremendously Heavy Yielding Black- 
berry 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 
tremendous yields of large, highly-flavored ber- 
ries has deemed it a very worth-while variety 
and worthy of introduction.
