400 TRANSACTIONS OF THE PIKE 



Of Blackberries, we plant only one variety, the Snyder, find- 

 ing it iron-clad in our locality; and, if trimmed properly, 

 carefully tended and judiciously thinned, will bear good-sized 

 berries, and be a remunerative crop to the f rait grower. Plant 

 early, plant deep, and thoroughly cultivate, until fruit com- 

 mences to ripen. 



I will not take up your time any longer, and in this brief talk 

 I have only aimed to give you a short list of varieties which have 

 proved good and reliable, after a trial of many years in 

 many localities.
