the Blowers Blackberry are strong and sturdy 
and easily self supporting, which aids 
greatly in cultivation. We never have cul- 
tivated through picking time, because we 
planted too closel)'; also because we wished 
to permit the growth of all the sucker 
plants possible. We never have cultivated 
earl}'. Hence we believe that b}' fertilizing 
more, cultivating early and continuing 
through the picking .season, we can not only 
increa.se the size of the fruit which has al- 
ready proved enormous, but also increase 
the wonderful record of 1902. 
The season is very long. Our first pick- 
ing was this year taken July 31, the last 
Sept. II, and between these dates an 
abundance of fruit was ripened, which we 
picked every alternate day. Its season 
conies when other varieties are not in fruit- 
age, therefore filling a new place in the 
fruit market.
