BLACKBERRIES. 



The canes of a number of varietie;; of blackhenics were quite badly injured by 

 the winter, as were also the roots in some instances. Not only did this injury materially 

 lessen the crop this season, but in the case of the root-injured varieties few new shoots 

 were sent up and there is but little fruiting wood for another year, so the next crop 

 must necessarily be light also. 



Childs Tree and Early Harvest were killed to the ground. Agawam, Early King, 

 Ma.xwell, Thompson, Wilson and Wilson Jr. were badly frozen back, but bore some 

 fruit. Ancient Briton, Eldorado, Lincoln. Nevada, Sanford, Snyder and Taylor were 

 among the varieties least injured. The extent of winter injury in the case of each 

 variety is further indicated in the tabulation. 



Among the varieties which gave the most satisfactory results this season were 

 Eldorado, Fruitland, Lawton. Lincoln and Wallace. Eldorado is a spreading, moder- 

 ate grower, hardy, and very ])roductive. The fruit was inclined to be rather small 

 after the first half of the fruiting season. 



Fruitland was among the best of the late sorts. Lawton, although somewhat 

 injured by the winter, made a very good showing. The berries were large and attrac- 

 tive. Lincoln is a large oblong, somewhat irregular shaped berry of good quality. 

 Wallace yielded nearly a full crop and the fruit held out well in size to the end of the 

 season. Snyder and Taylor, although only slightly Injured by the winter, yielded 

 but little fruit. Thompson bore fruit of larger size than any other variety, but was so 

 badly winter-killed that the yield was very light.
