The circumstances of soil and climate greatly influence the varieties, both in productiveness and quality, hence 

 the wide difference of opinion upon their respective merits. Of so many new varieties of which we hear and try, 

 few stand the test, or last over a year or two. We have discarded, in the following lists, the poorer kinds, and off^r 

 only those that have stood a severe test. 



BLACKBERRY. 



These are rank growers, requiring an ordinary soil, with a spading of manure in the spring ; trim out the dead 

 wood in the autumn, and the end of growing shoots in the summer. Plant 3 by 8 feet apart.
