BLACKBERRIES. Many kinds of blackberries will succeed, not only on good fruit land, but even on the most sandy, porous soil. They require the same treatment as recommended for rasp- berries, but infield culture should be planted in rows seven feet apart and three feet dis- tant in the rows: in garden culture plant rows five feet apart and three feet distant in the rows. The pruning should be governed by the growth of the cane and should be severe. Pinch back the canes in summer when three feet high, causing them to throw out laterals. When planting 7x3 feet apart it takes 2078 plants for an acre. When planting 5x3 feet apart it takes 2Q04 plants for an acre. Taylor—One of the blackest blackberries grown. Fruit of the best quality, melting and without core; very productive and as hardy as the Snyder, which renders it very valuable. Early Harvest— This is one of the earliest blackber- ries in cultivation: a compact dwarf grower: fruit me- dium size and fine quality: an enorm- ous bearer. It is so early and it bears so well, eats so well, ships so well and sells so well, that it is of notable value for a large portion of our Earlv Harvest. Ancient Briton—One of the best of the ancient varieties: very vigorous, healthy and hardy, producing large fruit stems, loaded with good sized berries of fine quality, that carry well too and bring highest price in market.
