well. Can be propagated by cuttings made from the 

 roots and long shoots. 



The Logan Berry is a gain in this direction. It 

 is a very free grower and it bears enormously, and 

 can be cultivated where the Raspberry fails. It is 

 best planted in rows, 8-ft. apart, the plants being set 

 15-ft. apart, to be trained on a trellis about 5-ft. tall. 

 It throws up very stout shoots from the base of the 

 stool, which should at first be tied to the lower part 

 of the trellis, right and left, and as soon as the old 

 canes have fruited, they must be cut away, when these 

 new shoots should be trained to fill the trellis, being 

 tied firmly with stout yarn, and about i-ft. of the 

 ends should be cut off. 



Logan Berries are getting known in market, and 

 make about 4d. a pound, and are among the best 

 bottled fruit. The Cut-leaved Blackberry should be 

 grown in the same way, and makes 3d. a pound. 



Quinces might be planted as before alluded to. 

 Cheap trees of these as two year old cuttings could 

 be at first planted, or half-standards. They require no 

 pruning for some years ; merely thin the branches. 

 The best kinds are the Pear-shaped and Portugal, 

 both large-fruited varieties. 



Medlar.s. — We have sold trees of these for market. 

 The large-fruited Dutch kind forms a flat-headed tree, 

 and the Royal an upright tree ; the former is the best 

 for market. As the green fruit is quite uneatable, 

 they could be planted in the hedgerows; and those 

 who are expert could graft them on the whitethorn 

 already there, but to save time they should be 

 purchased from a nursery. They are marketed in 

 quarter sieves and in punnets, are reputed to produce 

 a fair return, and are becoming greatly sought after, 

 both for dessert and jelly.
