Grids' Everbearing Tree Blackberry. With the exception of our great Japanese Wineberry no fruit novelty lias ever had the tremendous sale which this wonderful Tree Blackberry has had during the past five years. It is of distinct habit, growing five or six feet high, and branching freely into a fine symmetrical tree form, always straight and erect, and of such stout growth that it never'req uires staking. The berries are of very large size, and in quality much the finest of any | Blackberry in cultivation ; very pulpy, juicy, exceed- I ingly sweet and fine-flavored, even to the very core. The seeds are small, and the fruit seems to melt away in one's mouth like snow. The berries are of uniform size and very handsome, borne in great clusters, and commence to ripen early in July and continue until long into Septem- ber, making its fruiting period two months or more. The finest Blackberries we ever saw we picked about September first from some of these trees which had been ripening their fruit since Julv 8th. Its delicate flavor, great productive- ness, enormous size, long season of bearing and perfect hardi- ness make it one of the most valuable and desirable of all berries for home use. We believe it to be one of the most desirable novelties we ever brought out, and what we say about it is from personal knowledge, as we have grown it for six or seven years. It often fruits considerable the first season, and is sure to fruit abundantly the second season. We have the most flattering reports on it from all parts of the country. This was the only Blackberry which did not winter-kill with us last Winter. Even wild ones were killed to the ground by the unusual severity of the weather. Pr
