Messrs:— In reply to your inquiry, will say. Wachuselts Thomless has done 
better lor nie than any variety I ever planted. In flavor, it is sweeter and better 
than any other variety I ever grew or saw, and the I'ruil ripens more evenly. 1 
think much of this variety. 
Yours truly,

In regard to the Wachusetts Thornless, I would say that most growers in this 
section who have other kinds are plowing them up and replacing tliem with this 
■variety. 0. IIAMLIN.

The Wachusetts Thornless Blackberry is a good one for the market, because 
It is hardy, of a medium, uniform size, a deep gloss black and a delicious flavor. 
It commences to ripen from the 1st, to the 6ih of August.

After five years experience I think the Wachusetts Thornless Blackberry the 
best ot any variety I know of. It is perfectly hardy, a great bearer and easy of 
cultivation. '

I have grown the Wachusetts Thornless Blackberry for about ten years, and 
would plant no other kind. I have one acre of the Wachusetts that netted me 
one thousand dollars in 1881, and seven hundred dollars in 1882, from one third 
of a crop, owing to a severe drouth in this section. 
They are entirely hardy, standing our cold winters without any protection. 
In addition to their other good qualities, tliey are very much easier to pick than 
the thorny kinds.

I am raising the Wiichiisetts Blackberry, and I have also one acre of Dorches 
ters and small palclies of several other kinds, but the Wachusetts is the best of 
them all, everything considered. I never raised any variety that would equal it 
as a producer. It is perfectly hardy.

Frank Ford, one of the largest and most successful of small fruit growers of 
Portage County, Ohio, says of the Wachusetts Thornless: 
"It has a strikiii'i- flavor I cannot describe, but reminds me of the refreshing 
flavor of the long wild lierries I used to i)luck on the mountains when a boy. It 
is quite sweet, but sprightly and melting, good size, hardy, productive, and 
quality the very best The hearing canes have no tliorns."
