Common Name: 'Blackberry'      Sorry, Sold Out for 2008
Botanical Name : Rubus arapho  'Arapaho Thornless'

A new release from the University of Arkansas. Does not need a trellis. An excellent sweet flavor, good size, firm fruit and heavy production. Produces sucker plants which allow it to quickly establish a solid hedge row of plants. We believe Arapaho is the earliest Thornless Blackberry in existence.

Hardy to Zone 5    

Common Name: 'Blueberry'
Botanical Name : Vaccinium   'Northland'                 Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

Here’s the blueberry northern growers have been hoping for. Northland grows about 4 ft. high, a moderate spreader. Very productive, even after the harshest winters. Test plants gave normal crops after blossoms had partly opened and temperatures fell to 17 degrees. Heavy snows haven’t caused breakage. Fruits mid-July in Maine. Firm berries rich in flavor. It’s the berries for places where winters have prevented blueberry success

Hardy to Zone 5    

Common Name: 'Blueberry'
Botanical Name : Vaccinium   'Patriot'                      Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

Developed where growing seasons are short and winter hardiness a must. Patriot is a vigorous grower with mature height of about five feet. The largest berries of any sub zero varieties; less than 50 berries fill a cup. Scar is small, recessed. Flavor as good as the best less hardy varieties. Usually bears in early July at an early age. Resists fungus attacks. So hardy it bears after 29° below zero.

Hardy to Zone 4.

Common Name: 'Raspberry'
Botanical Name : Rubus idaeus  'Red Latham'                   Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

Red Latham Raspberries are a reliable favorite! Premium-quality berries have glowing pure red color, wonderfully sweet flavor. Firm, luscious fruit processes perfectly for jams and jellies. Self pollinating. Cold hardy and disease resistant.
   

Common Name: June Bearing 'Strawberry'
Botanical Name : Fragaria ananassa  'Earliglow'                Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

As most gardeners know, the basic rule is the earlier the bearing, the less the quality. Not so with Earliglow. It’s not just the earliest June bearer, it is truly tops in flavor. Glossy, firm and so sweet you won’t need sugar. Recommended for freezing, desserts, preserves. A vigorous grower, resistant to disease. Winter-hardiness also is good. 
If you have suffered through poor quality crops of strawberries… and could see little wrong with the plants, chances are the problem was virus or fusarium wilt. We suggest never to replant runners or gift plants from friends. As commercial growers would tell you, you risk losing irreplaceable time and your labor. Re-plant fresh, virus-free stock every 3 or so years.    

Common Name: June Bearing 'Strawberry'
Botanical Name : Fragaria ananassa  'Sparkle'                      Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

Strawberries announce the arrival of summer, bearing juicy red fruits loaded with sweet flavor. They’re among the most versatile fruits you can grow too. Use them in pies, on shortcakes, in jams and jellies, or simply pluck them from the garden and enjoy! Any surplus is easy to freeze, too.  Sparkle produces bright red, medium size berries and are simply loaded with true strawberry flavor! These Junebearing Strawberries are strong plants resistant to red stele and leaf spot diseases. A real gem! Self pollinating.
