Descriptive catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees, evergreens, grape vines, shrubs, bulbs, etc. descriptivecatal1890stor Year: 1890 34 THE STORES S: HAERISOX CO/S CATALOGUE Ohio—The greatest producer among Black Caps, and for canning or evaporating claimed to be the most profitable of all sorts; berry not qnite as large as Gregg, but of finer quality and the plants more hardy and Avili bear more successive crops. Souhegan—Earlier than Doolittle ; perfectly hardy : of good size and flavor, and pro- ductive. Bids fair to supersede Doolittle as an early market variety. 7sweet Home—A Black Cap of superior quality, nearly as large as the Gregg, and more uniform, and so hardy as to have withstood 30 degrees below zero uninjured. Ripens ten days later than Doolittle. BLACKBERRIES. Should be planted in rows six to seven feet apart, three to five feet in the rows. Keep the ground light and rich.

A n c i e nt Briton— This promising varie- tv was brought from Wales some years since, and has gradu- ally risen in public es- t i m a t i o n upon its own merits to the highest place as a profitable and valua- ble berry. The plant is very vigorous and healthy and extreme- ly hardy; the fruit stems are large and profusely loaded with immense luscious berries. Agawam — Fruit of fair size, jet black, sweet, tender and melting to the very core : for home use it has no superior, be- ing sweet throughout as soon as black ; it is extremely hardy and healthy and very productive. An emi- nent small fruit grower says : '' It stands at the head for hardiness, fruit- fulness and sweet- ness.'' Xo fruit gar- den should be with- out this excellent variety.
