The Blowers Blackberry 
Blowers blackberry originated with II. 
W. Blowers. Westfield, N. Y., about 1888. 
The New York Agricultural Experiment 
Station has grown the variety almost 
from the time it was first put out. and 
members of the horticultural staff have 
seen it in many parts of this State and 
other States. The following description 
is from the men at this station, who have 
known it all these years: 
The plants are tall, very vigorous, 
hardy and productive. The canes are 
moderate in number, stocky and with 
numerous strong, straight prickles. The j 
fruits ripen in midseason, over a very j 
long period, and are borne in open, short, 
leafy clusters, eight to ten in a cluster. 
The berries are about one inch long, 
rather narrow, tapering, variable in size 
and glossy black ; the core is soft and 
conical; the druplets are large, round 
and variable in size; the Hesh is soft, 
mild, sweet; the quality is good, but not 
extra good ; the seeds are large. 
The opinion of the author is that the 
plants of Blowers are too capricious for 
a good blackberry. It responds to every 
diversity in season, soil and climate, and 
can seldom he counted upon to behave 
(he same two years in succession, even 
in the same environment. Another fault 
is that many of the berries are imperfect. 
Well-formed berries arc none too good 
in quality, and do not ship well. For 
these reasons the variety is nearly worth¬ 
less in commercial plantations. We do 
not recommend it for a home garden. 
Nevertheless, in spite of its faults and in 
spite of t ho fact that few or no stations 
recommend it, many nurserymen list it 
and report it successful in various parts 
of North America. u. P^hedrick. 
Geneva, N. Y., Experiment Station. 
On our experimental plots the Blowers ; 
blackberry did not survive the Winter i 
when grown side by side with Snyder, j 
The Snyder is hardy here when given no I 
Winter protection. The Blowers is a | 
large, jet black berry, and yields ap- I 
proximately the same as the Snyder; 
that is, about 1.200 quarts per acre here. 
This is an extremely cold section, and 
while the Blowers may do well in other 
places, it cannot ho recommended here.
