The United States Department of Agriculture and 

 the University of California are making careful observa- 

 tions as to the adaptability of the many varieties of 

 resistants to California soils and the affinity of the 

 vinifera varieties to them when grafted. Determina- 

 tion as to their bearing qualities and many other 

 details which will be of great benefit to the practical 

 grower are being worked out in the experimental 

 stations. 



The Himalaya Blackberry produces a succession of crops 

 all summer. 



THE SMALL FRUITS 



This term usually applies to the berry family: black- 

 berries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries. 

 The whole Pacific slope, wherever fruit soils and suffi- 

 cient moisture prevail, is adapted to their successful 

 culture. It is practical in Oregon and Washington to 

 grow the small fruits with little or no irrigation. This 

 is largely due to the rains which occur so frequently 

 there during the entire summer. In California even in 

 the coast counties, where they have fog and where dur- 

 ing the height of the summer season it very rarely 

 becomes warm, irrigation nevertheless is an essential 

 requisite toward successful berry culture. All varieties 

 of berries luxuriate under the favorable climatic condi- 

 tions which exist in the coastal counties from San Luis 

 Obispo northward. The quality and size of the berries 

 which are practically out of season in the midsummer 

 months in the interior valleys are at the height of per- 

 fection in these counties during that season of the year. 

 No man with a farm should be without a berry patch. 

 Berries are of such easy culture, add so much to the 

 delicacies of the table, and are so easily harvested, it is 

 difficult to understand how even a farmer not engaged 

 in the fruit business could fail to have a berry patch 

 close to his home not only to supply the table with fresh 

 fruits during the early summer months, but also to 

 have the berries in surplus made into jellies and jams 

 for use during the winter season. WTiere conditions are
