THORNLESS BLACKBERRY 



AND THE RECREANT 



SEEDLING 



At the left a typical stem of the new 

 blackberry; at the right a thorny seed- 

 ling. The thornless blackberry invari- 

 ably breeds true to thornlessness ; so 

 it is to be surmised that this seedling is 

 the result of a chance fertilization with 

 the pollen of a thorny variety.
