Sun berries 



This is in some respects one of the most remarkable, and 

 unquestionably the most maligned, of fruits. It resulted from 

 a hybridization of two Solanums effected after years of unsuccessful 

 efforts. It was named Sunberry by Mr. Burbank, but was subse- 

 quently re-christened the Wonderberry, quite against his will, by 

 the dealer who purchased and introduced it. It has been fiercely 

 assailed, largely because it was confounded with quite a 

 different species of Solanum; notwithstanding which 

 it has made its way in the fruit-garden, and 

 is destined to be much more popular in 

 the future than it has been hitherto.
