The sand blackberry, R. cuneifolius, Pursh, growing in dry fields from Conn. to Fla. and La., appears not to be in cult. or to have contributed to the admixture of the garden blackberries. (Fig. 581, Vol. I.) It is a stiff and thorny plant, usually not over 3—4 ft. tall, the prickles many, mostly hooked, and very strong, the young growths white-tomentose: lfts. on bearing canes mostly small and thick, wedge-oblong to wedge-obovate, obtuse or nearly so, densely white-tomentose beneath, the margins sharp-toothed: fl.-clusters 4—10-fld., short, more or less leafy and thorny, the fl.-buds globular and pubescent: fr. medium in size, firm, often sweet and good.

It may be out of date, but still contains valuable and interesting information which can be incorporated into the remainder of the article. Click on "Collapse" in the header to hide this text. |
