THE LOGAN BERRY 
In the Logan Berry we have a new and artificially 
raised fruit, produced by crossing the raspberry with 
the blackberry. The fruits are large, inclining mostly to 
the raspberry in shape, but they have not the white pithy 
centres common to that subject. The foliage resembles 
that of the bramble, while the habit is somewhat inter- 
mediate. Treated as a dwarf raspberry, each plant 
being supported by one stout stake, the Logan berry 
bears freely on heavy or well manured land, yielding 
abundance of reddish, fleshy, briskly flavoured fruits 
that are admirable for tarts and preserves, and also, 
when quite ripe, by no means to be despised for dessert. 
Attention to tying, removal of old rods that have 
fruited, a good supply of water during hot weather and 
on light soils, mulching and weeding will produce good 
results.
