"S4 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.âPLANT CURRANTS. I LOVETT'S BEST BLACKBERRY. We strongly recommend Fall planting for all small fruits, if they can be put in the ground before it is frozen up for the winter. If they cannot be planted, then we would still advise our customers in the Northern States to procure their supply in the Fall, and "heel them in" in some sheltered situation, so that they may plant them early in the Spring, just as soon as it is free from frost, and dry enough to cultivate; this advice if followed, will be of practical benefit to many who have hitherto .failed, or have been only partially successftil. ^ BLACKBERRIES. (Ready Oct. soth.) HOW THEY ARE GROWN. The instructions which we give for Blackberries apply also to Raspberries, both red and black. The Blackberries we offer are all strong Root Cutting- plants which are vastly superior to the "sucker plants" so largely sold. The varieties offered are the very best on the market. For garden culture Blackberries should be planted in rows five feet apart with three feet between the plants in the rows. Thin out, by cut- ting away, all the canes which have borne fruit, after the crop is gathered, clean up the ground and cultivate between the nXows and the plants. When the new shoots are about four :£eet high pinch out the tips to stop them, this causes an extra growth of "laterals" or side shoots and when these are 12 to 18 inches long the tips should be pinched out of them also. The resiilt of this work will be to form a stocky plant and in- sure a good crop of good fruit, in sharp contrast to the scrambling plants usually seen with a small crop of poor â qtiality fruit.
