another lot of plants from California last spring and now have enough 

 fine plants growing to make a thorough test of their merits. We have 

 also planted a few Burbank's Phenomenal raspberry, the growth of 

 it is about the same as the Logan berry, but they are much more 

 prolific in California, $1,400 worth of berries per acre being the claims 

 ■of its promoters. I cannot recommend either of these for commercial 

 planting, but the lover of fancy fruit should try a few of them even 

 though it costs 25 cents per quart to grow them, as they cost us this 

 year. 



DISCUSSION. 



MR. HARRISON: Have you experimented with the dewberry yet? 



MR. CHRISTY: Yes, some. 



MR. HARRISON: Do you have the Palmer raspberry? 



MR. CHRISTY: Yes, I have it, but it is a very small berry. 



MR. BELTZER: Is it larger than the Kansas? 



MR. CHRISTY: No. 



MR. BELTZER: I have the Cumberland, and like it all right. 



MR. BROWN: Have you the Logan berry? 



MR. CHRISTY: Yes, I have brought a few with me, but I don't 

 think they are holding up very well, 



MR. DAVIDSON: I have had the Logan berry for three years, and 

 I think it has come to be a little disppointment. 



MR. CHRISTY: It may do fairly well in the eastern part of the 

 state, but not in the western. The berry for the western part of Ne- 

 braska is the dewberry. This Logan berry is rather a shy bearer. It 

 does not bear heavy enough to make any money out of it. 



MR. BELTZER: Did you ever make any money out of any kind of 

 •dewberry in this state? I don't think it amounts to anything at all. 



MR. CHRISTY: Yes, I did this year. 



C. S. HARRISON: The dewberry is decidedly a good thing for the 

 western part of the state. It bears pretty regularly. The people want 

 something out there, and the dewberry is all right for them. 



MR. DAVIDSON: I would like to ask Mr. Christy what he got for 

 dewberries. 



MR. CHRISTY: My dewberries sold for $2.50 per case, and black- 

 berries for $1.75. 



QUESTION: Is the dewberry more palatable than the black- 

 berry?
