RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, ETC. 
475 
Mr. Lawrence urged the necessity of growing both rasp¬ 
berries and blackberries in the shade. He did not believe 
that the latter could be grown without shade. 
Mr. Finlayson agreed that shade was necessary for these 
fruits, and especially blackberries ; and thought they could be 
successfully grown under apple trees, "where they should be 
mulched freely. Thus they would not injure the apples at 
all. 
Mr. Plumb said that he understood that when a plant was 
removed from one place to another, it must receive the same 
conditions that it had before grown in, as itear as possible. 
He gave many instances of plants which could not be removed 
from one habitat to another. 
Mr. Adams said he could not succeed with blackberries 
X brought from Massachusetts to his place in northeastern Iowa. 
Dr. Hobbins said that he had bsen^toW that raspberries 
brought from the Pocky mountains had failed in this state. 
Mr. Stickney spoke of a new blackberry, by the name of 
A. H. Briton, because it was found with him. He had seen 
the beiry and was much pleased with it. It was not for sale ; 
a friend of his had bought all the stock, and was propagating 
it. He had himself a few plants, all he could get, but did not 
wish to part with any of them. He considered the bush hardy. 
He was told-that the original plant came from England some 
ten years ago. 
No change was made in the list from last year. 
Curranis .—No change was made in the list, and all 
appeared discouraged from the ravages of the currant borer. 
Gooseberries —.The Houghton and American were recom¬ 
mended for cultivation. These were-also attacked by the 
borer. 
By-laws. —Mr. Willey moved to amend the by-laws by add¬ 
ing to the standing committees—committees on Meteorology 
and Entomology. 
The meeting then adjourned to 2 o’clock P. M.
