20 CATALOGUE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES. ^lacKborrios. The ground should be prepared the same as for raspberries. Set the plants eight feet apart between the rows, and eighteen inches apart in the row, thus making a continuous row for fruiting, which gives one-third more fruit than by the hill system. Set posts in the row twenty feet apart, and run two wires on these posts. Run one wire three feet from the ground, and the other wire five feet from the ground, and trail and tie your fruiting canes to these wires. This is the cheapest and best method, and is being adopted now quite extensively in place of the old hill system. The blackberry succeeds well in most any soil, and the land would be poor indeed that could not give a good crop of this fruit. The blackberry is one of the most profitable of fruits, and the demand for it is increasing very rapidly each year. We have made the growing of these plants one of our specialties, and have a very fine, large stock of all the plants named below. We would ask for a chance to figure on any large order for plants. Eldorado. (Description.) Illustrated on back cover of catalogue. It has been in cultivation twelve years, and under careful test at different experi- ment stations for four years. In ever)' case they report it high above any other variety, and all agree that it has never winter-killed or failed to produce a full crop of the finest fruit. While it is of superior flavor and very large, the vines will also stand the winters of the far northwest without injury. The fruit has no hard core. but. when placed in the mouth melts away, being most pleasing to the taste and very sweet. The yield is enormous, the fruit being jet black, in large clus- ters, ripening well together. Its keeping qualitv is unsurpassed. Each, 25 cents ; 3 for 50 cents ; per dozen, $1.50 ; per 100, $10.00. YOU CAN SAVE TEN PER CENT. We will allow you a discount of ten per cent, on any order to the amount of f 1 .on and upwards, provided the same reaches us before March 15th. (We cannot aliow this discount on the collections named in this catalogue. 1

Lovctt's Best Blackberry.—Either for profitable market growing or for the home garden it is without an equal. It has now been fruited in almost every state in the Union, and its hardiness and other valuable properties conclusively proved by practical field tests. A" the Orange County Nurseries we have found this to be a good grower, the fruit is very large, handsome and of excellent flavor ; from all we have seen of this berry, we feel safe in recommending it as a very desirable blackberry. Plants each, 10 cents ; pertdozen,l75 cents ; per 100, $3.00 ; per 1,000, $25.00.
