BLACKBERRIES 



By E. P. Powell 



AUGUST is memorable for its black- 

 /-\ berries. No recollection is more pleas- 

 urable to me than going blackberrying 

 with my dog. In those old times one-fourth 

 of the land was wild pasture, with either rasp- 

 berries or blackberries filling up a good deal 

 of the space, and not seldom a patch of de- 

 licious strawberries. We used to go and pick 

 these berries wherever we pleased, and fre- 

 quently we went out as a whole neighborhood, 

 with the town minister in the lead. Even now 

 there are some wonderful glens in New Eng- 

 land and New York where one can find pails 

 full of the old-fashioned fruit. In the South- 

 west we come on the running blackberry, or 

 dewberry, a superb fruit, clambering over the 

 rocks and bushes, and sometimes turning a rail 

 fence into a wall of fruit. Once in a while I 

 come on a basket of these old wild berries in 

 market, and I know just one place where I 

 can fill my own basket. Nothing better can 

 be found for pies and puddings, although I 

 confess that in a bowl of milk I like better the 

 Eldorado and the King Phillip. The value of 

 this berry is not only for eating out of hand, 

 and for canning, but it surpasses all others in 

 good old-fashioned cooking. My mother's 

 blackberry pies stand out sublimely in my 

 memory. They were among the really great 

 creations of genius. Strawberries should go 

 with cream ; raspberries make marvelous short- 

 cakes ; blackberries make the grandest pies that 

 even New England genius could devise. I 

 pick out the black raspberry as a distinct fruit, 

 never to be picked but when dead ripe, and 

 then to be eaten liberally in bowls of Jersey 

 milk and homemade bread. 



Cultivated varieties were at first rejected 

 from our gardens, because they proved unable 

 to stand anything like zero weather. Among 

 the first to come was New Rochelle, and this 

 froze out easily. Wilson and Wilson Jr. 

 proved to be about equally good berries, but 

 about equally unfitted for the colder States. 

 All these varieties have been thrown out, as a 

 rule, north of New York City. The New 

 Rochelle was called Lawton sometimes, and 

 many of the berries that now are placed on
