THE CRYSTAL WHITE 

 SO CALLED 



Some thirty years ago we learned 

 that a wild blackberry of New Jersey 

 pictured opposite, lighter in color than 

 any other blackberry, had been intro- 

 duced as a garden novelty under 

 the name Crystal White. Although 

 lighter than any other blackberry, it 

 was of a muddy brown color, as can be 

 seen from the photograph. The berries 

 were small and of poor flavor. This 

 wild berry, however, was the first step 

 in the production of the new varieties 

 of the true white blackberries.
