 single and isolated experiment in hybridization. 



But, in point of fact, the record of the Primus 

 Berry was accompanied by similar records of an 

 entire company of new hybrid blackberries and 

 raspberries. In the same section of New Creations 

 that told of the Primus Berry, there was the record 

 of an equally remarkable blackberry-raspberry 

 hybrid of an entirely different character, the par- 

 ents this time being the California dewberry and 

 the well-known Cuthbert raspberry, the latter a 

 native of England. 



Three hybrids of this cross were offered for 

 introduction, one of them being the extraordinary 

 berry that was afterward named the Humboldt, 

 and then renamed the Phenomenal. 



There were two other hybrid dewberries of 

 only lesser interest. There was also the hybrid 

 between the Crystal White Blackberry and Shaf- 

 fer's Colossal Raspberry, which produced the 

 berry famous afterward as the Paradox, and from 

 which new races of raspberries and blackberries 

 of almost every conceivable combination can be 

 produced, as the photograph showing varied 

 leaves, to which reference has already been made, 

 amply demonstrated. 



Then, too, there was the hybrid between the 

 Japanese Golden Mayberry and the Cuthbert
