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.
