OHMER. WILSON" —A magnificent, large, very early, beautiful berry, of sweet and excellent flavor. Ripens evenly, holds its color well, and brings highest market price. Strong grower, exceed- ingly productive. WILSON JUNIOR—A seedling of Wilson which 'it resembles, possessing all its good points as a very early market variety, and said to average larger. Both sorts require protec- tion in cold climates. WACHUSETT —Fruit of medium size, ob- long-oval, sweet and good. It is a good keeper and ships well. Very hardy and tolerably free from thorns. TAYLOR. TAYLOR—Berries of fine flavor, larger than Snyder. Canes of vigorous growth, iron-clad hardiness and wonderfully prolific. Ripens late, is fine companion for Snyder in cold sections. DEWBERRY. LUCRETIA—This is one of the low-growing, trailing blackberries; in size and quality it equals any of the tall-growing sorts. The plant is perfectly hardy, healthy and remarkably pro- ductive, with very large, showy flowers. The fruit, which ripens early (soon after Raspber- ries), is often one and oneJhalf inches long by one inc'h in diameter; soft, sweet and luscious
