OZARK BEAUTY BLACKBERRY DALLAS—A Texas berry, large, black, firm and a strong grower. Ripens in midseason. EARLY KING—One of the earliest blackberries in cultivation, a compact, dwarf grower, fruit rather small and of good quality; heavy bearer. ELDORADO—For many years Eldorado was the first main-crop variety to ripen; it has, with other notable virtues, great hardiness and freedom from blackberry rust in the plant, and handsome appearance and ex- ceptionally high quality in the fruit. Al- though an old sort, it is still much prized for home and market east of the Rocky Mountains, and in this great region very seldom fails. LAWTON—Berries large, soft, sweet, very good. Season medium. This bush is very vigorous, half hardy, and productive. McDONALD—Enormously productive, outyield- ing any other known variety of blackberry. Ripens two weeks before Early Harvest, and is the earliest ripening of all blackberries. Can be sold for extra price before other varieties are on the market. OZARK BEAUTY—Superior to any blackberry grown where it has become known, this blackberry is hardy, stands drouth. It is almost free from seeds and has no objec- tionable core. It has little or no Juice, the pits being filled with a thick syrup or flesh of the berry. Ripens Just after Early Har- vest. The berries are very large and best quality. You will make no mistake in order- ing Ozark Beauty. Purple Variety SODUS—An excellent home use berry, deli- cious for dessert, canning, preserves, Jelly, etc. A very large, Juicy fruit, a fruit that is easily grown and very hardy, adapted to cold and dry weather; does not have many briars, and yields very heavily. The New BRAINARD BERRY A new tremendously heavy yielding berry for the Central, Southern and Pacific Coast States. A trailing type, much hardier and better in all other respect than the Himalaya. It is very productive and has large clusters of high quality berries which contain relatively smaller seeds than any other berry of this type. The Department of Agriculture has recommended it as a very worth-while variety and worthy of introduction. 15c each; $1.50 doz. BLACKBERRIES THE NEW THORNLESS BLACKBERRY—En- tirely free from thorns and one of the best flavored berries. Bears heavily and grows well in all sections. Be sure to plant some this year. Price: 15c each; $1.25 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. EVERBEARING BLACKBERRY (TREE FORM) This is one of the latest crea- tions in blackberries. Bear enormous crops, beginning to ripen just after the early harvest and continue al- most until frost; the berry is very large, of fine quality, melting in your mouth and does not have a large core. Husky growing plants, stand- ing erect, resembling small trees from 6 to 8 feet high and branch heavily. We have only a very few for the market this year. 20c ea.; $2.00 doz. Black Varieties CUMBERLAND—The largest of all the black- caps; coal black berries; very firm and the quality of the very best; excellent shipper. Bush is a strong grower, stocky canes and unusually prolific. Mid-season. NEW LOGAN BLACKCAP—The best depend- able early black raspberry grown. In some localities where it has been grown for the past few years it has almost displaced the other standard varieties. Berries are as large as the Cumberland, bear as heavily and ripen a week ahead of Cumberland. This gives the grower a chance to make some really good money. One of the New Logan's outstanding characteristics is its resistance to mosaic and other raspberry diseases. We have a fine lot of thrifty plants to offer. Red Varieties ST. REGIS EVERBEARING—The new everbear- ing variety. It gives a crop of fruit all summer and autumn, fruiting on the old canes in generous quantities until late in August. By this date berries begin to ripen on the young canes and continue until late autumn. Berries are a bright crimson of large size and of surpassing quality, sugary with full raspberry flavor. It succeeds upon all soils whether light or sandy, or cold, heavy clay and the canes are absolutely hardy. LATHAM (Minnesota No. 4)—A new introduc- tion from the Minnesota state breeding farm. A very firm, large and most prolific red raspberry yet introduced^, It is extremely hardy and of the very best quality. It has been largely planted in Minnesota and has given the best results. It stands shipping well and tops the market. It is mosaic-free, a disease that attacks raspberries some- times. Plant some in your garden. You will never regret it. It is claimed that many fruit growers are averaging $1,000 per acre a year. CHIEF (The New Red Raspberry)—Here is a wonderful red raspberry that is forging ahead as fast as did its illustrious ancestor, Latham, and it has just as important a place to fill for it is ten days earlier than Latham, ripening at a time when red raspberries bring the most on all markets. Chief was originated at Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm and is a selection from 4,000 seedlings of Latham. It is immensely productive, even surpassing Latham in that respect; the ber- ries are of good size and excellent quality and the bushes are absolutely .hardy and resistant to disease.. — 12 —
