productiveness, and adaptation to various soils it is worthy of highest praise.

BLACKBERRIES. 
Price, 75 cents per lo; $4 per 100. 
The high-bush varieties may be treated like the Raspberries, except to increase 
the distances to 6 x 6 or 8 x 6 feet. 
Many of the older kinds like Kittatinny, Wilson, Dorchester, and Lawton, either 
suffer from rust or are too tender for New England. The following can be rec- 
ommended with confidence. 
Snyder, a very hardy, productive, and healthy kind, of good size and quality. 
Taylor's Prolific. Very large, excellent in quality, melting, very productive, 
as hardy as Snyder.

inches long, sweet and luscious to the core, and is better than any of the 
high-bush family. If properly trained, it is productive and valuable. 
GOOSEBERRIES. 
Smith's Improved. Large, light-green, productive, good quality, and not 
subject to mildew. $1 per dozen; per 100.
