Its eminent success in all soils, from Maine to California, from Minnesota to Florida, is something phenomenal in small fruit culture. Its trailing habit renders it less liable to winter-kill. AUSTIN'S IMPROVED, OR MAYES' HY- BRID Description of Introducer. I have fruited this wonderful berry for the last six years. It has borne enormous crops each season and it is growing larger and finer every year. The berries are large from the first to the last picking. The bloom escapes the late frosts and the berries ripen up before the dry season commences. This is strictly a Dewberry, both in habit of growth and flavor of fruit. It bears a heavy crop one year after being planted. This season on my grounds 261 fine berries were counted on one plant which had only been planted one year. It is very early, commences to ripen May 13th. It is very highly flavored, glossy black. It is hardier than a blackberry and never fails. Its roots penetrate very deep, making it sure to do well in dry countries ; fruits to perfec- tion on both black and sandy soil. It is very prolific, and from what F. P. Holland, editor of the Texas Farm and Ranch \ E. L. Huff- man, Secretary State Horticultural Society, and others say, who see and eat it, it must be the finest berry in the world. I gathered 54 berries which filled a quart box. while it took 347 select Early Harvest blackberries to fill the same box, making it 6^ times as large. It is ten days to two weeks earlier than the Native Texas or Dallas Blackberry. It ripens soon after strawberries and sells at higher prices. This berry, on my grounds, made at the rate of $ per acre, count- ing the berries at 15 cents per quart. From American Gardening: Mayes'
