Mr. Mears also presented a magnificent specimen of the Brugmansia Arborea, 

 beautiful and fragrant. Accompanying his exhibition of the beautiful Lawton 

 Blackberries Mr. Mears submits the following as to their prices and profits : 



" To the Cincinnati Horticultural Society: 



" Mr. President and Gentlemen I send you to-day two baskets and one branch 

 of the Lawton Blackberry. From the specimens do you think it worthy of culti- 

 vation ? Some persons have decided in the negative. My own impression is 

 that two hundred bushels per acre would be but a fair average crop, and they 

 would doubtless bring $7 per bushel at wholesale. I would like very much to 

 hear from Mr. Longworth on this point, who is so 'down' on humbugs as not to 

 fear even the ' Prince of humbugs.' Yours, W. E. MEARS." 



Society then adjourned.
