Blackberries are usually grown in rows, six to eight feet apart, with plants two and one-half to three and one-half feet in the row, and allowed to grow so as to form a solid hedge row; how- ever, larger and better fruit and more of it can be grown, and they can be cultivated at less ex- pense, if they are planted in check rows, five to seven feet apart, according to the vigor of the variety. They will grow and fruit well on land of moderate fertility ; on very rich soil they are inclined to make too much wood growth. Careful thinning and close pruning of the cases, will, however, insure plenty of fruit. Plant any time in the fall, or very early spring.
