A Dozen 

 Other Delightful Berries 



Offering Encouragement to Combine and Build 



IN the ensuing chapter will be brought together 

 for brief consideration the records of in- 

 vestigations having to do with a varied com- 

 pany of berries, some of them among our most 

 familiar garden fruits, others practically unknown 

 to anyone but the specialist. 



It must not be inferred that these berries lack 

 importance because they are grouped here to- 

 gether instead of being given individual chapters. 

 It is only necessary to name the currant, the 

 gooseberry, the huckleberry and blueberry, and 

 the cranberry as members of the list to give assur- 

 ance that the fruits under consideration have con- 

 siderable economic importance. But it chances 

 that my work with these fruits, and the others 

 listed with them for present consideration, has 

 been somewhat less extensive than with the small 

 fruits already described.
