FEUITS OF ONTARIO. 



25T 



KITTATINNY. 



This has been the favorite blackberry in Ontario for both home use and market. 

 Unfortunately, it is subject to Orange Rust, for which as yet there is no certain remedy, 

 and in some places fruit growers have given up this variety on account of it. 



ORIGIN: Kittatinny Mountains, N.J.; found growing wild by a Mr. Woolverton in 

 1874, but not much disseminated until many years later. 



PLANT: very vigorous, but tender outside of the peach belt; productive; propagated 

 by suckers and by root cuttings. 



KITTATINNY. 



BERRY: large, oblong, slightly conical; shiny black when ripe, becoming gradually 

 duller after gathering; flesh moderately firm, sweet, rich and excellent. 

 QUALITY: good for dessert; very good for cooking. 

 VALUE: first class for home market. 

 SEASON: medium to late. 



LAWTON. 



A variety that has done much to popularize the blackberry as a market fruit, but 

 now supplanted by other and better kinds. In some markets all varieties of black- 

 berries go under the name of Lawton. 



ORIGIN: introduced by Wm. Lawton, of New Rochelle, N.Y., in 1848. 



BUSH: vigorous; hardy; productive; canes very spiny. 



BERRY: large; oblong; color jet black when fully ripe, but if gathered sooner it is 

 reddish; texture soft and juicy at full maturity, otherwise it has a hard core, and is 

 sour and insipid; flavor sweet and excellent when quite ripe, but in this condition rather 

 soft for shipment. 



QUALITY: cooking, good. 



VALUE: market, second class. 



SEASON: medium
