3 Finest Blackberries. Everbearing Tree—For a Blackberry it is the largest, finest flavored, most prolific, fruiting for two months, ami re- quiring no stakes. It grows five feet high, branching freely into a line tree form, straight and erect. The ber- ries are enormous size, borne in large clusters, which commence to ripen early in July and continue into Sep- tember. They are exceedingly sweet, juicy and delic- ious, melting in the mouth, without a particle of hard core. Its delicate flavor, great productiveness.enormous size, long season of bearing, and perfect hardiness in the coldest part of the country make it the most valuable of all berrTeB tor family use. Iceberg—One of Luther Burbank's greatest creations. It bears loads of delicious, snowy berries, which are not only white, but so transparent that the seeds which are unusually small, may be seen in the ripe berries. Clus- ters larger than those of Lawton : berries at least as large; earlier, sweeter and more tender and melting through- out, though as firm as Lawton is. when ripe. No garden complete without this grand White Blackberry. It is a most deliciously sweet and prolific sort, and succeeds finalv everywhere. Sugarplum -A prolific fruiter, with large, handsome ber- ries that are sweeter and delicious beyond expression, having no core. Begins ripening in July and continues in full bearing two months. Iron-clad in hardiness. A superb novelty and one we can highly recommend. iOc. each; the S/or ooc.: or *i.go per dozen.
