The Best Blackberries.

Many are familiar with the appearance of
the mammoth berries that are frequently Of.
fered for sale in the summer months, but
few in comparison are able to point out the
characteristics of the different kinds. The
majority of persons will probably say that
the large berries that are usually seen are
all Lawtons, while only n small proportion
of the large backberres grown belong to
this variety. The Lawtons were the first of
the large varieties that attracted the attcn-
tion of the public and the name has become
so familiar that now all large blackberries
are all called Lawtons, and yet there are
two or three kinds that for surpass them in
several respects. Among these may be men.
toned
THE KITTATINNY.
There is probably larger number Of
plants of this variety set out than Of any of
the Others particularly in the New England
and other northern states. The reason for
this is not because the plants are better
adapted to withstand our severe winters.
However the berries themselves are of sulh-
cient size to prove an inducement for setting
the plants out, as they average large and
sometimes nearly equal the largest speci-
mems of the blackberry race. The berries
are ripe as soon as they turn black, which is
quite am Improvement on the Lawtons. The
canes are strong and vigorous, and usually
very productive.
WILSON'S EARLY.
This is not as we'll known as the preced'
ing variety, but on some accounts is decided
ly superior. Larger specimens have been
grown of this variety than Of any other
berry last summer measuring nearly two
inches in length, and others almost as large
These large berries certainly make spen'
did appearance as a table fruit, aud mako q
dish SO tempting that few will be able to re-
