T. J. DWYER, CORNWALL, NEW YORK. 2J Child's Everbearing Tree or Topsy Blackberry.—The following description is from the introducer's catalogue : " For a blackberry it is the largest, finest-flavored, most prolific, fruiting for two months, and requires no stakes. This fine novelty * * * is surely one of the most desirable new things we ever offered, and what we say of it we speak from what we have seen and what we have tested, and not from what others say. It grows from five to seven feet high, branching freely into tree form * ? straight and erect, re- quiring no stakes. The berries are of enormous size, equalled only by the Erie ; borne in great clusters, which commence to ripen early in July and continue into September, making its fruiting period fully two months or more. Plants each, 15 cents ; per dozen, $1.00 ; per 100, $7.50.

Erie.—This superb new fruit originated in northern Ohio, not far from the shore of Lake Erie. It is the best hardy variety yet introduced, very productive, not hav- ing failed in producing a fine crop each year since it was originated ; foliage clean and healthy, free from rust; fruit large, about the size of Lawton ; ripens early. Price per dozen, 50 cents ; per 100, $2 00 ; per 1,000, $20.00. Kittatinny.—Long the most popular of all blackberries for general planting, and still unexcelled for main crop in the home garden or for market in some locations. Berries large, handsome and of delicious flavor ; canes of strong, erect growth and productive. Medium to late. Price per dozen, 40 cents ; per 100, $1.25 ; per 1,000, $10.00. Snyder.—This as an early variety and the Taylor's Prolific as a late sort are the two recognized sorts of backberries, both being hardy and productive. The fruit of the Snyder is small in size, but of a sweet, juicy, excellent flavor, without the hard core of many other sorts. Per dozen, 35 cents; per 100, $1.25 ; per 1,000, $9.00. Taylor's Prolific—An old reliable and trustworthy variety. A suitable com- panion for Snyder, for it also is a variety of great hardiness and productiveness, but ripens somewhat later. Berries are very much larger and of fine flavor. Canes of strong growth and iron-clad hardiness. Season late. Per dozen, 40 cents ; per 100, $1.25 ; per 1,000, $10.00.
