WE shall be compelled to discard the Kittatinny and the Dorchester for market, on light soil, much to our regret. The former because it is too soft and arrives in market too dull in color. The latter because it is too small. These two have been displaced entirely in our eastern markets by the Wilson Early, This berry is so large, so bright, so handsome, glossy, and retains its color so well, that as long as it lasts absolutely no other variety can be sold, and it usually has to be closed out at a sacrifice. There is very little demand for canned blackberries, and the only resort is to dry the fruit that cannot thus be marketed.

The Lawton is still among the most popular varieties with the market men. Its large size and good color are its only arguments for a good sale, still it will outsell in price any day the much better Kittatinny and Dorchester. The Kittatinny is the very best family fruit we have. The Dorchester is quite as bright, firm and glossy as the Wilson, but small. If, however, it is grown upon heavy land, or is mulched heavily, say 3 to 4 inches, the fruit will be fully doubled in size and hence made more marketable and profitable. We doubt very much if the Wilson will prove a profitable berry in the State, north of New York. It is best adapted to light, warm, loamy soil, and is more productive and earlier than on heavy lands. Hence we say that for family choose the Kittatinny and Dorchester ; for fruit grown for market in the South, on light soil, plant the Wilson or Lawton; for the North, on heavy lands, any or all except the Wilson.
