American Sweet—Makes a handsome shade tree ; full 
medium size, sweet and well flavored. 
Spanish—A valuable species both for ornamental use 
and fruit. It forms a handsome lawn tree and produces 
much larger fruit than the average American variety. 
CULTURE OF SMALL FRUITS 
Bramble fruits like blackberries, raspberries, 
dewberries, etc., should have all old wood (older 
than the previous season’s growth) cut out close to 
the ground each spring and the past season’s 
growth should be trimmed back to 3 or 4 feet in 
height. All of the old canes should be removed and 
should be burned. 
Mulching of currants and gooseberries will give 
good results.
