224 Bush-Fruits 



perience. Such seedlings appear to be remarkably constant, 

 while hybrids between the loganberry and other species of Rubus 

 show the characteristics common among hybrids of well-defined 

 species. 



In the same article, C.I. Lewis of the Oregon Experiment Station 

 is quoted as saying that wild plants of the loganberry type are oc- 

 casionally found in Oregon, California and Washington. It is said 

 to be so common on Vancouver Island that a nurseryman located 

 there reports being in the habit of going to the woods and digging 

 wild plants to fill orders whenever his stock became depleted. These 

 observations indicate that the plant represents a specific type of 

 dewberry and that the plant which appeared on Judge Logan's 

 grounds may have come from some other source than the seed which 

 he sowed. Bailey, who has been over the subject from the point of 

 view of botanical characteristics, states in the "Standard Cyclopedia 

 of Horticulture," 1916, that it is "said to be a hybrid," "but the 

 botanical origin of it is by no means clear." 



The loganberry has now become a prominent fruit in parts of 

 California and the Pacific Northwest, but does not succeed in the 

 East. It is so easily excited into growth and blooms so early that 

 it is nearly always injured by winter-killing or by spring frosts in 

 the eastern states. (See Plates V and VI.) 



Lovett. described as hardy, vigorous and productive. Fruit 

 large, mostly globular, drupes large, quite firm, though juicy. 



Lucretia (D). Probably the best known of all the dewberries. 

 Found by a soldier in the Civil War, who, being stationed near 

 Beverly, W. Va., during most of his service, returned there after 

 the war in search of a wife, and acquired this dewberry as a 

 perquisite to the plantation owned by her. He transplanted some 

 to his garden, and later sent plants to his father in Ohio. These fell 

 into the hands of B. F. Albaugh, of Covington, Ohio, who named 

 the variety and introduced it to the trade. As sent out, the 

 variety was greatly mixed, but the true type is a large fruit, pro- 

 ductive, of good quality, and gives satisfaction wherever the dew- 

 berry succeeds. 



Lucretia' s Sister (D). Introduced by J. B. Treedway, of Brandt, 

 Ohio, about 1886. Seems to possess little value.
