Blackberries and Loganberries 



By Miss Laura E. Barlow, 



BLACKBERRIES have been grown in 

 the Sebastopol district of Sonoma 

 County since 1872, and it has been 

 proven that a sandy-loam soil, together 

 with moist cool summers, fanned by 

 the coast breeze, and an abundance of 

 winter rains, make it a most favorable 

 locality for berry growing. Our prin- 

 cipal varieties are Lawfon blackberry. 

 Mammoth blackberry and the logan- 

 berry, of which the blackberry is the 

 most extensively grown in our locality 



Sebastopol, California 



and more than doubles all other varie- 

 ties. It is a very long-lived berry and 

 its adaptability has been proven by the 

 test of time. There are some of the 

 oldest vines still standing and bearing 

 well, with no pest of any kind to molest 

 them. The Mammoth blackberry is a 

 cross between the California dewberry 

 (or wild blackberry as it is commonly 

 known) and Crandall's Early, and the 

 loganberry is a cross between the Cali- 

 fornia dewberry and the red raspberry. 



In planting the Lawtons the plants 

 are obtained by digging the shoots that 

 sprout up late in the summer between 

 the hills. These plants are dug -with a 

 good cross root from three to four 

 inches long. This is a plant which 

 should be looked after very carefully, 

 so as to insure a fine, strong growth 

 when planted. These are upright 

 growers and are planted eight feet 

 apart each way. With one-year-old 

 vines one stake is used, and two the 

 second year. These are six feet in 

 length and are driven one on each side 

 of the vine, close in but spreading at 

 the top, to allow for lateral growth 

 and ease in picking. The pruning does 

 not amount to much the first year, but 

 in the spring of the second year the 

 tender .shoots that are thrown out are 

 only allowed to grow about four and 

 one-half feel high. Then the top is 

 clipped olT, which causes them to 

 throw out laterals, and these are cut 

 back to the length of from six to eight 

 inches, and hold the berries for the 

 coming year. The old wood is taken 

 out each fall and the new canes, after 

 being pruned, are tied firmly to the 

 stakes and are ready for the spring cul- 

 tivation to commence. 



The Mammoth blackberry and the 

 loganberry have met with much favor 

 in our locality, coming in very early in 

 the season, and are off before our Law- 

 tons ripen. Their adaptability to our 

 soil and climate has given them a wide 

 planting, and their vigorous growth 

 and prolific bearing has made them 

 favorites among our growers. The 

 Mammoth i)lackberry is in full fruiting 

 at the time the logans begin to grow 

 light and the Lawtons arc beginning to 

 ripen, thus giving us a continuous suc- 

 cession of Logan, Mammoth and Law- 

 tons for a season of about three 

 months. The Logan and Mammoth are 

 running vines and must be trellised.
