Last Saturday our esteemed
We" minister correspondent, A. L.
GoSsctt, was in Walhalla, and, as
usual, made his headquarters at The
Courier office. He showed us a fine
bunch of blackberries, still on the
vine, and informs us that his father
always has fresh blackberries in suf-
icient quantity for home use up to
he first and sometimes to the mid
die OF November. He has but one
vine, or cluster OF vines, from one
rooted plant. The berries have much
ne same appearance as the Old-fash-
toned dew berry, but they are larger
and the flavor decidedly richer and
more delicate. Mr.. Gossett says his
blackberry vine bears more rcsem-
blance to the muscadine vine than
the ordinary blackberry, requiring a
large arbOr to hold 1t up. This vine
was seriously damaged by a heavy
freeze two years ago, and is just
now recupcrating, and this years
crop is somewhat short.
