lIYBRInIztNe ExrRAoRplNARY.-It is very
generally known that there are two distinct
species of wild blackberries which grow in
our soil; the running or lew blackberry and
the bush or high blackberry. The fruit Of
the former is comparatively round, and uSu-
ally begins 10 ripen about the 10th Of July ;
that of the latter is conieal-shaped. more SYM
metrcal in form than its humber cousin.
and superior in flavor. The low blackberry
is entirely gone before the high blackberry
begins to ripen. While gathering high black
berries this summer, discovered clump Of
bushes, the fruit of which looked and tasted
very much like the low blackberry. On ex-
aiming the ground beneath, | found that it
was covered with vines, thickly set with fruit,
exactly similar to that on the bushes. Now,
here were two by brids, or the same hybrid,
growing both on vines and bushes. The
hush-herries Lad given up their shape and
flavor to the low berries, and the vine-berries
had delayed their time of ripening three
weeks, thereby becoming exactly contempo-
rary with their neighbors. This is also a
naturalization of two distinct species rather
than a simple mixture of two varieties Of the
same species, and therefore is q step beyond
v hat is generally attempted in the expert
ments of tie hortieulturist. NV summer re-
searches have also revealed the fact that the
varieties of the blackberry are more extensive
than is generally believed. While the num-
Der is usually limited to four or FIVE, l am
