This is my last to ripen and my best late black- berry. I have later berries, but do not regard any of them near so good to pay as Mercerau. This berry came from New York state, and I find it is very difficult to propagate, therefore I must get a good price for the plants. Jordan Blackberry: This is a late blackberry that is fine to pro- long the season. It is very productive and is sweet as a berry can be. Here in Texas it begins to get ripe about the first of June. Dallas Blackberry: A firm, mid-season berry. Jordan is a bet- ter berry. S Austin Dewberry: The practical berry grower, who grows berries to supply a home market needs fine berries from the very first of the season to the last. To supply an abun- dance of berries after Early Wonder is gone I know nothing better than the Austin dewberry. The plants are fine growers and the berries are very large. I have seen Austin berries nearly as large as a small hen egg. In south Texas they grow this berry to ship, but I con- sider it a local market berry. W. J. Shultz, a local planter of Brown county, Texas, says this berry never fails to pay him a hundred dollars per acre for his local market, but, of course, in our small western towns, our local markets are limited. Lucretia Dewberry: This well known dewberry has never been grown much in Texas. I understand it does fine at Clyde, but for me it is not productive enough. The berries are not so large as Austin, but sweeter. Prices, same as Austin. Several years ago I was peddling blackberries from a small spring wagon on the streets of Stephenville. A man came along on a load of hay with four mules to his wagon. He was away
