The cultivation this year lias been but little, no horse 

 work has been done for fear of injuring the roots of the 

 canes. Former crops have paid all expenses of setting 

 and cultivation up to this year. The crop of this year 

 was good, but not as great as last year, but the price of 

 berries was about two cents a quart more than last year, 

 so that the profit is about the same. The account ii as fol- 

 lows : 



BLACKBERRIES. 



Or. By 1288 quarts, at 10 and 12^ cts. 1133 37

Haverhill, Mass., Aug. 24, 1897. 

 This is to certify that I have this day surveyed a tract 

 of land for Amos Haseltine, on which grew a crop of 

 blackberries, which he has entered for premium with the 

 Essex County Agricultural Society, and I find the same to 

 contain thirty-two and one-quarter rods. (32.25 rds.)
