BLACKBERRIES.

This kind of fruit requires about the same kind of management that is essential to raise good raspberries. Clean cultivation and rich ground, with all the old canes removed annually, will seldom fail to secure a bountiful crop. The illustrations of different varieties are not overdrawn as to size. Indeed, in

many instances, the fruit grows larger than it is here represented. It must be borne in mind that in order to raise large berries, the soil must be worked deep and enriched with the best kind

of fertilizing material, and the surface mulched in hot weather. Blackberry bushes should be kept as clean of grass and weeds as growing corn or cabbage.

The Kittatinny Blackberry was originated by E. Williams, Montclair, New Jersey, and sustains the reputation of being one of the best, and with some fruit culturists the very best, blackberry in the country. It is a great bearer, endures our cold winters well, and sells quickly in market. We consider it superior to the celebrated New Rochelle Blackberry either for the table or for market.

STRAWBERRY. FRAISIER. Fragaria.

The Cherry, the Currant, and Strawberry red,
To the rich and the poor their refreshments have shed;
Pomona has scatter'd her blessings abroad,

This is a genus of fruit-bearing herbaceous plants, of which there are few in the vegetable kingdom that can equal the Straw

berry in wholesomeness and excellence. The fruit is supposed to receive its name from the ancient practice of laying straw
