large, jet black, sweet and melting, 
very good quality; very hardy. Vigor¬ 
ous and productive. 
McDonald (Very Early)—A black- 
berry-dewberry hybrid. It is large, ob¬ 
long, very good quality; drouth-resist¬ 
ant, vigorous grower; plant in rows 
8 to 10 feet apart. The vine trails on 
the ground the first season like the 
dewberry, but grows upright the next 
year. Grown in Missouri, Oklahoma 
and Texas. Not hardy and is self- 
sterile. Plant every fourth row with 
Lucretia Dewberry or Early Harvest

planted dewberry. The berries are 
large, long, firm and good quality;

CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS FOR 
BLACKBERRIES 
Where winters are mild plant in the 
fall but mulch with straw or coarse 
manure for winter protection. 
Plant 3 feet or more apart in rows 
5 feet or more apart. Set an inch or 
two deeper than in the nursery row 
and cut back the tops to 6 inches or 
less. 
Cultivation should begin as soon as 
the plants are set and continued every 
week or two until a month before 
freezing weather. Pinch off the tops 
of the young canes when at a height 
of 2; 1 /4 feet—3 feet. Immediately after 
picking, old canes should be cut out 
and burned and also all but 3 or 4 new 
canes to each plant. 
A wire trellis is often used. Posts 
are set 15 to 30 feet apart in the row 
and the canes tied to a wire about 214 
feet above the ground.
