A DOZEN OTHER DELIGHT- 

 FUL BERRIES 



OFFERING ENCOURAGEMENT TO COM- 

 BINE AND CONSTRUCT 



IN THE ensuing chapter will be brought to- 

 gether for brief consideration the records of 

 investigations having to do with a varied 

 company of berries, some of them among our 

 most familiar garden fruits, others practically 

 unknown to anyone but the specialist. 



It must not be inferred that these berries lack 

 importance because they are grouped here to- 

 gether instead of being given individual chapters. 



It is only necessary to name the currant, the 

 gooseberry, the huckleberry and blueberry, and 

 the cranberry as members of the list to give 

 assurance that the fruits under consideration 

 have considerable economic importance. But it 

 chances that my work with these fruits, and the 

 others listed with them for present consideration, 

 has been somewhat less extensive than with the 



small fruits already described.
