U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C Eldorado. Like many of our best fruits, Eldorado is an accidental seed- ling, and takes its n ame from the town close by where it was found in Preble County, Ohio. It has been cultivated 14 years and under careful test at difi'erent ex- periment stations for four years; has never winter-killed or failed to produce a full crop of the finest fruit. The vines are very vig- orous and hardv, enduring the win- ters of the far Northwest without injury, and their yield is enormous. The berries are very large, jet black; borne in large clus- ters, and ripen well together; they are very sweet, melting and pleasing to the taste; have no hard core; fruit will sell 50c. to $1.00 per bushel higher than Snyder. We quote words of commendation from the following- high authority. "This berry was noted last year, and is of much promise; so much that a special colored plate has been made. It is an oblong, irregular berry of large size, fruiting in pendulous, slender, hairy spikes with few thorns. Color black; flesh deep crimson, with tender core; fla- vor sweet, rich quality and very good." ., H. E. VAN DEMAN. From the Ohio Experiment Station: "Eldorado is the most promising blackberry. It appears to be as hardy as Snyder, is larger and better quality." W. T. GREEN, Horticulturist. Price, 50c. per dozen; §2.00 per 1(30; SIS.00 per 1,000. WILSON, Jr. A valuable market berry on account of large size, jet black color and splendid flavor. Not perfectly hardy in some parts. Price, 80c. per dozen; :51 50 per 100; $12.00 per 1,000.
