APRICOT —BLACKBERRY 421 the list several desirable kinds that have proved hardier and a little later in blooming than the old kinds. The fruits of the Russian va- rieties, while not as large as the other varieties, fully equal many of them in flavor, and they are very productive. They bear more pro- fusely and with less care than the old-fashioned and larger J' xv; 274. Roman Apricot. i. Blackberry. —- In a general way, the planting and care of a black- berry plantation is the same as required by raspberries. From the fact that they ripen later in the season, when droughts are most com- mon, even greater attention should be given to placing them in land that is retentive of moisture, and to providing an efficient mulch, which can generally best be secured with a cultivator. The smaller-growing kinds (as Early Harvest and Wilson) may be planted 4 x 7 ft., the rank- growing varieties (as Snyder) 6 x 8 ft. Thorough cultivation through- out the season will help in a material degree to hold the moisture neces- sary to perfect a good crop. The soil should be cultivated very shallow, however, so as not to disturb the roots, as the breaking of the roots starts a large number of suckers that have to be cut out and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bailey, L.
