BLACKBERRY. 181 



of the veteran pornologist, Marshall P. Wilder, of Boston,

Crystal White. A new variety from the West. Fruit 

 said to be yellowish-white, and of excellent quality. The 

 foliage of this variety is very peculiar, inasmuch as the 

 leaflets are very narrow, almost oblong, lanceolate. It is

Cutter's Mulberry. Introduced by G. B. Cutter, of

 which has not been fruited as yet at the East. 



Washington, Exhibited by Prof. C. G. Page, of Wash-

 it would be safe and perhaps preferable to plant them in- 

 stead of others, because their fruit always commands the 

 highest price in market. 



In many places at the West, as well as at the East, 

 these varieties succeed if protected in winter, and two to
