We would say to those whom we may do business with, that we have been growing small fruits exclusively for the last twenty-eight years, and keep nothing in the plant line, only what is profitable; and the varieties we offer are of the best to give general satisfaction almost anywhere.

Every order will have our personal attention. If any error is made, we stand ready to correct same.

Our shipping facilities are of the best.

Our terms are CASH from unknown parties.

BLACKBERRIES

The following Blackberries art', all growing- on our place;

The Ward is a good, fine berry where it gets good treatment, and will do its best in light sandy soil: on heavy soil it is inclined to rust.

The Kenoyer is a very early berry, and ripens its crop in a few days. It is all out of the way before the Ward is ready for picking.

The Mercereau is our best, and has given us better results for labor and capital invested than any blackberry that we ever had. In fact, we cannot say too much in its favor. We have a fine lot of plants of this variety, that we offer at prices within the reach of all.

The Blower is another good one, and on our farm does well. We can rec- ommend it to any one who desires a good profitable blackberry.

Prices for Blackberries

$10 per 1000; $5 per 500: $1.50 for 100: 50c for 12.

RASPBERRIES

The St. Regis is what we call the “everbearing,” and is one of the best varieties ever introduced. It was found and propagated within three miles of our farm, and we are in a position to furnish plants true to name, of this fine variety.

The Welch and the King are two good all around profitable raspberries.

SWEET POTATO SEED AND PLANTS

JERSEY YELLOW. This seems to be the preferred name for the Sweet Potato grown mainly in New Jersey.. Our Vineland Fancy Strain has for years been carefully selected from the best Jersey Yellow seed, having a smooth skin, good form, color and general appearance as well as productiveness and keeping qualities, and we feel confident there can be no better seed Sweet Potatoes obtained anywhere. No. 1 will run from 1 to \/z inches in diameter.

JERSEY RED. Has the general characteristic of the Jersey Yellow. Is of a much better quality and superior for table use. Our stock is smooth and chunky.

VINELAND BUSH. It is a true bush from the Jersey Yellow, resembling it in leaf. It forms a thick bushy top of dark* green leaves and presents a most luxuriant appearance. It is as easy to cultivate and care for as a bush bean, and there are no vines to bother in digging.

BIG STEM JERSEY. Most rapid grower and heaviest yielder of the Jersey Yellow type, and therefore growing td marketable size much earlier in the season.
