REDUCED PRICE LIST.

By James White

Strawberries.—We will furnish Wilson’s Albany, Triumph de Gand, Russell’s Prolific, Agriculturist, and Col. Ellsworth, at the rate of 50 cents per hundred, more or less.

Raspberries.—We will furnish the Doolittle blackcap raspberry sets at the rate of $2.00 per hundred; and the Miami black caps at the rate of $3.00 per hundred, more or less.

Blackberries.—We will furnish the Lawton, and the Dorchester, blackberry roots at the rate of $2.00 per hundred, more or less.

Grape Roots.—We will furnish the Concord, Delaware, Clinton, Hartford Prolific, and Iona, for fifteen cents a root, from one to one hundred.

We cannot furnish large lots of Grape Roots at these prices. The prices of the Strawberry, Raspberry, and Blackberry, are for quantities from ten, to three hundred each. When taken in quantities from three hundred to one thousand or more, one-fourth discount will be made. We will furnish to old friends who may desire it, on credit, and to the poor without pay. We hope to see a shower of orders by return mail.

We are receiving some very small orders from a distance. In this case, express bills will be much more than the value of the roots and plants. Orders from other States should not be less than five dollars.

Those wishing a lot, small or large, of each of the four kinds of plants, sets, and roots, can receive them all in one box by express, at any part of the country where there is an express office near them. Those who know anything about the business, very well know that there is nothing to be made at above prices. Our object is to instruct the people, to encourage the cultivation of small fruits, especially in the West, where fruit is scarce, and assist them to pure plants and roots, at cost.

The Doolittle raspberry sustains about the same relation to all other kinds, and the Lawton blackberry to all other kinds of the blackberry, as the Wilson’s strawberry does to all other kinds of the strawberry. This one variety of each is hardiest, and best for all who wish to raise fruit for family use or for the market. The only improvement we would suggest is in relation to the strawberry for family use. Mix with the Wilson’s Albany plants, one-third Tromp de Gand. The union of the two will give more fruit, and the Wilson will make the other harder and more tart, while the Triumph de Gand will make the Wilson milder.

All orders should be addressed to
