LUCRETIA DEWBERRY.—Who is there that has ever tested the wild dewberry of our fields that has not longed for some variety that would thrive well under cultiva- tion, and, although a number of varieties have been tested, knone of them have proved to be of much value, till the intro- Pduction of the Lucretia, which was discovered in West Vir- ^y/v ginia some years ago. The plant is hardy and healthy and ' M remarkably productive. The flowers are very large and '' " / showy. The fruit, which ripens with the Mammoth Cluster Raspberry, is often one and one-half inches long, by one in diameter, soft, sweet, and luscious throughout, without any hard center or core. It is the best of the blackberry family, as hardy as Snyder and productive as any. The berries are far larger ana incomparably better than any blackberry. As 'the dewberry roots only from the tips, and does not sprout Jlike blackberries, it will be much more desirable for garden culture, and the trailing habit of the plant will render winter protection easily accomplished, in cold climates, where that precaution may be necessary. It may either be allowed to trail on the ground or be trained to a trellis, wall, or fence, or over stumps, rookeries, etc. Its great profusion of large, showy, white flowers in spring, followed by the clusters of beautiful fruit, together with its handsome, glossy foliage, ren- der this an interesting plant at all seasons. It has proved very satisfactory wherever tried, and is recommended with the greatest confidence. Any collection of fruits will be incomple
