AN INTERESTING HYBRID 



The fruit here shown is a cross 

 between the yellow Golden Queen rasp- 

 berry and the Lawton blackberry. It 

 possesses qualities of both blackberry 

 and raspberry. When blackberry-rasp- 

 berry hybrids are picked, it is not 

 unusual for them to bring away the 

 receptacle with the fruit, like a black- 

 berry, if they are not quite ripe; and to 

 leave the receptacle, like a raspberry, 

 if entirely ripe. Few experiments have 

 greater scientific interest than those in 

 which the raspberry and blackberry 

 have been hybridized.
