COLOR VARIATIONS IN THE 



CANES OF THE HYBRID 



BLACKBERRIES 



Not only is the leaf a guide to the 

 kind of fruit which a plant will produce, 

 but in many cases the stem or cane gives 

 a reliable indication. With most berries 

 it is the rule that the light stalk will 

 produce the lightest colored berry and 

 the darker the stalk, the darker the 

 berry. From the variations shown 



above it will be seen that much time and 







expense may be saved by a careful 

 examination of the young plants.
