Three years ago we saw advertised in a Western paper a new blackberry under the above name, and we ordered a dozen plants which came duly to hand, with a modest bill for the same, amounting to $5, which was promptly paid. The plants were set out and made a vigorous growth, producing a fair quantity of fruit last year, which we thought was of very good flavor, but were not up to the standard for size. The past winter was quite a severe one on all the small fruits, the blackberry not excepted; but our Western Triumph plants passed through uninjured, and are at this time more heavily loaded with fruit than any other sort in our collection. The berries are also large, and so deliciously rich and sweet that to add sugar would be superfluous. The ladies of our household pronounce this new blackberry a "Triumph," especially the dyspeptic portion, who have to deny themselves of the privilege of eating sugar upon fruits of all kinds. If our Western people can succeed as well with this variety as we have, there is no need of sending East for Kitta-tinny, Wilson and Lawton Blackberry plants. - Rural New Yorker.

Dummet's Orange Grove, South Florida, produced 600,000 oranges last season, and he expects to have 1,000,000 this year. Three or four years ago the trees were nearly destroyed by insects, but they have fully recovered and look finer than ever.
