THE NEW BLACKBERRY RATHBUN has already established a high reputation in the locality where it originated and has only to become generally known to supersede other varieties. It is decidedly superior in size, hardi- ness and quality. A quart box of Snyder and a quart box of Rathbun were each counted and while it took 164 berries to fill the former, 45 berries of the Rathbun completely filled the quart. The Rathbun underwent a temper- ature of 20 degrees below zero, and produced a very good crop, while similarly situated plants of Erie and Minnewaski were badly frozen and unable to produce any fruit. The berries have very small seeds and no hard core, in fact no core is perceived in eating them—all is sweet, luscious and of a high flavor. The plant is a strong, erect grower, makes plenty of fruiting wood, and, although a true blackberry in all other respects, it propagates very freely from the tips of the shoots, like a dewberry or a black raspberry. We cannot too strongly rec- ommend this valuable new variety. 10 cts.; 6 for 50 cts. by mail; $ per 100, express. Other Blackberries, such as BANGOR.—Hardy, early productive, fine.

We refer to the new dwarf variety recently introduced from Alaska. It is perfectly hardy, of quick growth, and forms dense clumps of bushes which seldom grow higher than a man's head. They bloom and bear fruit when but a foot in height. The berries are about the size of the ordinary cherry, dark purple, exceed- ingly sweet and delicate in taste. It is one of the finest fruits to eat raw that ever grew. After the berry is fully ripe it will keep on the bush in perfect condition f
