This valuable new variety is spoken of by a com- 
~ u * mittee named by the New Jersey State Horticul- 
tural Society as follows: "It- was the most astonishing sight I 
have ever seen. Hedge rows were six feet apart canes standing 
4 to 4J-4 feet high ana some 2J^ feet across, and the tops were 
such a solid mass of green, red and black berries as to almost 
exclude the foliage from sight. The ripe ones were big, glossy 
black fellows, fully one-half larger than Snyder, rich sweet, 
tender and melting, with no hard core at the center.

sprouts or canes; a great yielder of large blackberries; rich
