LOGANBERRY. 



JV. B. — The Editor takes no responsibility for statements made by Correspon- 

 dents under this head. 



WISH to state through the columns 

 of your journal my success with 

 ._L the new fruit called the Loganberry. 

 Four plants set fourteen months ago 

 have yielded, up to date, seventy three 

 three-quarter boxes of large, handsome 



dollars, making an income of six dollars 

 and fifty cents from four plants inside of 

 fourteen months. 



Others may have done better, and if 

 so, they should let it be known. My 

 neighbors join in pronouncing the Lo-

berries. They are a little tart for table 

 use, but for jelly they are as good as the 

 best, and for pies they are better. No 

 hard seeds, and the flavor is good. 

 Plants are twenty feet apart, and trained 

 on a wire trellis. Some canes send a 

 branch each way to the next stake, mak- 

 ing forty feet from tip to tip. Have 

 sold berries to the amount of four dol- 

 lars and llfty cents, and plants from 

 slips, in March, to the amount of two 



ganberry ahead of anything in the berry 

 line, and will verify all my statements. 

 Could hardly recommend them for field 

 culture or for shipping, as they are very 

 soft ; but for home use I think every 

 family that can should have a few plants, 

 and give them good care-
