Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 697. Lucretia Dewberry (X K). The Bartel type {S. invisus, Bailey), with stout, stiff stems, straight, reflexed prickles, large leaflets with simple teeth, and having the unopened buds surmounted by a tip formed by the sepals which clasp around it. (.S) The southern Dewberry (, Michx.). This has round, shrubby, trailing stems, bearing strongly re- curved or reflexed prickles, glaudular-tipped hairs and bristles. The leaves are evergreen, leathery and smooth, with numerous stout, recurved or reflexed prickles on the veins and petioles as well as on the flower-stems. It is represented in cultivation by the Manatee and a few others. (4) The western Dewberry (B. vitifolms, Cham. & Schlecht.). This has round, woody stems, usually weak and trailing but sometimes upright, the fruiting branches numerous, armed with slender prickles, often rendering the smaller parts densely setose. It includes the Skagit Chief and others. Still another species, better known as the cut-leaved blackberry, has been long in cultivation, chiefly for or- nament. Its stems are armed with strong, recurved prickles and its leaves are much parted and divided. The culture of the Dewberry is much the same as that of the blackberry, except in the matter of training, though it is thought to thrive better on light and sandy soils than the blackberry. No summer pruning of the canes is needed, although the old canes may be removed as soon as done fruiting. Various meth- ods of training are employed, the object of all be- ing to keep the bearing canes off the ground, so that they will not Interfere with cultivation and the fruit will be kept clean. For this purpose the single stake and the wire trellis methods
