MOUNTAIN BLACKBERRY

(Figs. 64, 65), Brunton's Early, and possibly Bangor. 

 The Dorchester, as I have seen it growing in late 

 years, also belongs here, but I do not know if the 

 plants which I have seen are 

 lineal descendants of the old 

 Dorchester introduced by 

 Captain Lovett. The wild 

 form (Ruins aryutus) is the 

 most widely dis- 

 tributed of any of 

 our blackberries. 

 In Texas it is rep- 

 resented by the 

 Dallas, which is 

 the best medium - 

 early blackberry 

 for that region . 

 Varieties of this 

 type I have called 

 the "Leafy -cluster 

 Blackberries." 



A dwarfer or 

 more condensed 

 form of the high- 

 bush blackberry is 

 abundant in the 

 Adirondacks and 

 Allegheuies, where it is 

 often known as the moun- 

 tain blackberry. It has 

 been distinguished by Pro- 

 fessor Porter, who first 

 described it as Rubus vil- oneMr'Se
