Two faults mar an otherwise excellent variety; the plants are not hardy in cold climates, and are very susceptible to rust where that disease is rife. Kittatmny comes from the mountains of the same name in New Jersey, and was introduced by E. Williams about 1865. Plants tall, vigorous, upright-spreading, productive, half-hardy; canes numerous, stocky, furrowed, reddish- brown, with long, strong, straight prickles. Leaflets large, oblong-lanceolate, pubescent above and beneath. Flowers IV inches in diameter, 6-8, in rather short, open, leafy racemes. Fruit early niidseason, medium size, oblong, variable in size and shape, jet black; core cylindrical, soft; drupelets large, round; llesh sweet, rich ; quality very good; seeds small, soft. LAWTON. New Rochelle. Lawton played an important part in the early history of cultivated blackberries in America, and was the second variety of this fruit introduced. It is still grown rather widely on the Pacific slope and somewhat in the East, being es- pecially well liked for canning. It has lost commercial importance in the East, however, because the plants do not withstand cold well and are susceptible to rust. The fruit is not ripe until jet black, when the quality is of the best; picked too soon, as it often is, the berry is sour and bittei. Lawton was introduced by William Lawton, New Rochelle, New York, about 1848. Plants stocky, vigorous, productive, tender to cold, susceptible to rust, with numerous large prickles. Fruit late midseason, large, jet black, becoming bronzed when over-ripe; core large and rather hard; flesh soft, sweet, rich ; quality very good. McDonald.
