Is probably no fruit more valuable as an
article Of food than the blackberry. II
comes at q easOn OF the year when the
properties 1t possesses are especially
necessary to healthy digestion. It is in
itself an antidote TO the common Com
plants Of tie warm season. Its roots
possess the medical properties adapted to
the ~iHdispOsition peculiar 10 the latter
part OF the summer. 1t may be culti-
waited as well as s-tFaWbeFries, cherries,
peaches orapplss- Instead ofdepending
the wild brisr for our only supply OF
.blackberries, we should cultivate themin
our gardens and orchards, and bring
them to their highest perfection. The
New Rochelle or LaWtOn aud the Kitts-
tinny are two favorite varieties Of the
domesticated blackberry, but where these
cannot be procured, the best specimens
Of the wild briar may be taken and Guilt
waited. With proper attention, they will
anywhere, and the fruit viii be
delicious. The Rural WOrld recon-
mends the cutting the in summer
so as to keep them to about the hight Of
four feet. They are more productive
thus trained, and less troublesome. They
require no stalking or other care.
They will reward you for rich soil and
plenty Of manure. Every one should
have a patch.
