The "Crystal White," So Called 



Mr. Burbank learned that a wild blackberry oj New 

 Jersey^ pictured above, lighter in color than any other black- 

 berry, had been introduced as a garden novelty under the name 

 "Crystal White." Although lighter than any other blackberry, 

 it was oj a muddy brown color, as can be seen Jrom the 

 photograph; and the berries were small and oj 

 poor flavor. This wild berry, however, was 

 the first step in the production oj 

 Mr. Burbank's perfected 

 white blackberry.
