Three hybrids of this cross were offered for

 Humboldt, and by its purchaser renamed the 

 Phenomenal. 



There were two other hybrid dewberries of 

 only lesser interest. There was also the hybrid 

 between the Crystal WTiite Blackberry and 

 Shaffer's Colossal Raspberry, which produced 

 the berry famous afterward as the Paradox, and 

 from which new races of raspberries and black- 

 berries of almost every conceivable combination 

 can be produced, as the photograph showing 

 varied leaves, to which reference has already

 offered for sale as new varieties. 



Moreover, a list was given of no fewer than 

 thirty-seven named species of Riibus (the gen- 

 eric name of the tribe of raspberries and black- 

 berries) that had been utilized in the hybridizing 

 experiments through which the new varieties 

 have been produced; and the statement was 

 made with reference to the list that "the combi-
