 High Bush. 



Low Bush. 



LAWTON, or New Rochelle. Color, black ; quality, 1. 



Remarks. — Very large, a great bearer, pulpy and deli- 

 cious flavor. It loves a cool, moist, shady soil, is easily 

 cultivated, and is everywhere becoming a universal favor- 

 ite. Adopted by the Congress of Fruit Growers. The 

 " New Eochelle Blackberry '' sends up, annually, large 

 and vigorous, upright shoots, with lateral branches, all 

 of which, under common cultivation, will be crowded 

 with fine fruit; a portion ripens daily, in most seasons, 

 for six weeks, commencing about the first of Jul}^. They 

 are perfectly hardy, always thrifty and productive, and 

 have not been found liable to blight, or injury by insects. 

 To produce berries of the very largest, they should have 

 a heavy, damp soil, and shade. This will be a good 

 starting point for seedlings. It is a most valuable im- 

 provement in this fruit.

American Black. 



Remarks. — Not very productive — better shaded. We 

 will here observe, that this valuable variety is seldom cul- 

 tivated as it should be — that it bears transportation to 

 market, without injury, that it grows well in all soils, and 

 under almost any mode of culture ; that with extra atten- 

 tion, and manure, the Common White and Red Dutch, 

 yield fine crops.
