MISCELLANEOUS FRUITS 
BLACKBERRIES 
Blackberries thrive in almost any 
soil, but do their best in a strong 
loam, retentive of moisture, tending 
toward clay rather than sand, but it 
must be well-drained at all times. 
Fertilizers containing a good pro¬ 
portion of potash are the most de¬ 
sirable. To prevent rust, spray with 
copper-sulphate solution during fall 
and winter, and with Bordeaux Mix¬ 
ture (4-0-50) during spring and sum¬ 
mer. The rows should be 6 to 8 ft. 
apart and the plants from 3 to 4 ft. 
in the row, according to the charac¬ 
ter of the soil. If desired to culti¬ 
vate both ways, set the plants in 
checks, 0 to 7 ft. each way. As soon 
as the fruiting season is past, re¬ 
move the old canes and burn at once. 
The young canes should be clipped. 
This will cause them to branch and 
they will become self-supporting. 
Apply fertilizer during the late win¬ 
ter and give shallow and constant 
cultivation. 
Eldorado. The large berries, borne 
in big clusters, ripen well to¬ 
gether. Very sweet—no core. A 
heavy bearer and a valuable sort. 
Himalaya. Strong grower; very pro¬ 
lific. A desirable variety. On ac¬ 
count of quick growth should be 
grown on trellis. 
Blackberry 
Austin’s Improved. Very large fruit. 
Vigorous grower and productive. 
The best variety for the South. 
Lucretia. Low-growing. In size and 
quality of fruit it equals any of 
the tall-growing sorts. Hardy and 
very productive, with large, showy 
flowers. Fruit sweet and luscious. 
Early. 
RASPBERRIES 
These thrive best in a deep, moist, 
well-drained soil; the lighter loams 
are best for the red sorts, and the 
heavy loams for the blackcaps. Cot¬ 
tonseed meal, pure ground bone, or 
fertilizers containing a good propor¬ 
tion of potash are best and should 
be liberally applied during the win¬ 
ter and early spring. To get the best 
results and keep the plants in vig¬ 
orous condition, they must be 
mulched heavily with straw. 
Cumberland (Black). Very large, 
firm berries of high quality. The 
best midseason market variety, 
giving the utmost satisfaction to 
both grower and shipper. 
Cuthbert (Queen of the Market). 
The best and most reliable of the 
red-fruited varieties. Fruit large, 
red, and of excellent quality; rip¬ 
ens middle of May and continues 
for several weeks. Prolific bearer. 
Fine shipper. 
Mersereau. A most valuable variety. Fruit of immense 
size. Early and enormous bearer. Very hardy. 
DEWBERRIES 
Use short, stout stakes, driven at the end of each row of 
canes, with a cross-piece 18 in. long nailed to each stake, 
2 V 2 to 3 feet from the ground. On the top, near each end 
of these cross-pieces, drive a stout nail, slanting toward 
the stake, upon which to catch a wire. Two lines of No. 14 
galvanized wire, one on each side of the row, are fastened 
to one end of the stake and run on the ground between 
the rows to the other end stake. Draw wires as taut as 
possible and securely fasten to the other end of the row. 
The wires are now raised and caught on the nails, thus 
holding all the canes closely together in the row. Dew¬ 
berries should be mulched to keep the berries from the 
ground. 
Latham. Large; red; luscious. Very productive. Splen¬ 
did shipping qualities. 
Ranere (St. Regis). Berries large, bright crimson; flesh 
rich. Wonderfully prolific. Produces its fruit early 
and through a long period. We consider it one of the 
best Raspberries ever sent out. 
YOUNGBERRIES 
Youngberries. Fruit larger than Dewberries, with a de¬ 
cided flavor of Raspberry. Splendid for home use, but 
will not ship well. Delivery in March.
