Narrative

(The following description of this unusual plant has been furnishedus by the originator.)This new berry came into our possession as a seedling several years ago. After years of painstaking efforts, the undesirable plants have been taken out, now having a variety that comes true and exactly alike.Due to the nature of their growth and over the long period of ripening, we have named it the Tree Everbearing Blackberry. It grows in any soil or climate, has stood twenty degrees below zero without any injury. Berries are round, very large, extra sweet, yet enough acid for jams and jellies. An excellent keeper, has to be picked only once a week. Plants are very thorny, but berries grow on a long fruit stem in clusters of seven to thirty berries. Ninety percent of the fruit extends above the thorns. There being no berries on the market when they ripen, therefore its possibilities are unlimited as a commercial berry.Another feature why people prefer it: they grow up off the ground, ninety percent are free from dirt regardless of the weather. Rain must be in abundance or it must be planted where it can be watered. The undreamed of feature of this berry is that people in our towns and cities who have been deprived of fresh fruits may now grow all the berries they can use for pies, jams and jellies from six plants in their yard or small garden, taking no more care of , them than a common shrub. From a two-year-old plant we have gathered three gallons or 24 pounds. Three-year-old plants have broken all records with a yield of 6 gallons of fruit from one plant,Waller Brothers do not hesitate to recommend these plants as an excellent berry, as we have fruited some of them for the past several seasons with very satisfactory results.
