MISSOURI STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Of the black cap varieties the following were the most profitable 

 in the order named : Acme, Palmer, Hopkins and Gregg (for between 

 these two varieties there was little or no difference) and Hillborn. 



Of the red varieties the Cuthbert, Turner and Palmer were the 

 most profitable. 



The Marlboro did little or nothing; growth very poor. Thomp- 

 son's Early Prolific crumbled badly and the berries poor-shaped and a 

 shy bearer. Schaffer's Colossal, berries poor color and flavor ; fruit 

 crumbled badly ; canes injured during the past winter. Lowest tem- 

 perature 7 degrees below zero. 



Blackberries fruited, 1889.
