THE BLACKBERRY. té 
acquisition to our domestic fruits, and worthy of a 
place in every garden. 
“Tn transplanting it, Messrs. Seymour & Co. recom- 
mend selecting plants from two to three feet high, and — 
to set them out about the first of November or the 
middle of April, in this latitude. They may be put 
out on almost any ordinary soil, at a distance of four 
to six feet. When setting out, it is desirable to cut off 
the vine at from four to six inches from the ground. 
For field culture, they recommend preparmg the 
eround by ploughing in an ordinary coating of barn- 
yard manure. ‘Two or three experiments with guano, 
dug in around the hill, have been quite successful.” 
The only plants in bearing of this variety we have 
ever seen, are those cultivated by Mr. Lawton in his 
garden; and our observation of them tended to con- 
firm all that we have quoted from him and from the 
Agriculturist. For vigorous plants, size, flavor, and 
productiveness of fruit, they altogether surpassed our 
expectations, and we hope they will soon find their way 
into every good garden. 
Some growers near this city have readily contracted 
their whole crop of this fruit in New York this season, 
for 373 cents per quart. 3 
We have given a large space to this variety, because 
it is new, and, we believe, well worthy of extended 
cultivation by the public.
