JAPAN GOLDEN MAYBERRY. 



Add $i.oo per lOO for pot plants if to go by mail; mailed free at dozen rates if desired. 



The earliest fruit known, ripening in advance of 

 the Strawberry. A most novel fruit, forming a shrub- 

 like bush six to eight feet high, producing all along 

 its branches large white blossoms, which are soon fol- 

 lowed by large, sweet, glossy, golden, semi-transpa- 

 rent berries. The bushes do not die down after bear- 

 ing like the canes of the Raspberry and Blackberry, 

 but continue to bear fruit for many years like the 

 Currant and Gooseberry. Produced by Luther Bur- 

 bank of California and is supposed to be a hybrid of 

 a, Japanese species of raspberry [Rulms pabna'tis) and 

 the Cuthbert, The original stock, consisting of six 

 large plants and forty-eight small ones, was sold lor 

 $800.00. Our stock was grown direct from the parent 

 plant and is the true variety.

LOGAN BERRY. 



Although numberless varieties of fruits are con- 

 stantly being produced, many of which possess merit, 

 yet it is only about once in fifty years that a fruit ap- 

 pears that marks so great an advance and is so distinct 

 and valuable as to revolutionize the culture of fruits 

 of its class. The Wilson Strawberry started the move- 

 ment which has resulted in bringing what was an 

 obscure fruit, a hundred years ago, into a prominence 

 that makes it now one of great importance. Like- 

 wise the Concord Grape has made American grape 

 culture what it is to-day. The Blackberry, which 

 was not grown, even in gardens, prior to the introduction of the Lawton or New Rochelle, is 

 now second in importance among our small fruits only to the Strawberry. 



In the Logan Berry, which is a true hybrid between the Red Raspberry and Blackberry, 

 we have a fruit of far greater value than any of those above named, and is absolutely unique; 

 hence it is destined to mark an epoch in fruit culture, quite as definite and pronounced as 

 any berry that has preceded it. Although produced in Cahfornia, it has proved entirely 

 hardy at the East and North, where it has been fully tested, having been subjected to a tem- 

 perature several degrees below zero, in an exposed position without the slightest protection, 

 coming through the winters with every branch alive to the tips. 



The berries are of enormous size — fully equalling the largest blackberries, which they 

 resemble in form and structure (as shown in the illustration) but are deep reddish-maroon in 

 color. In flavor they are rich and sprightly — a mingling of the raspberry and blackberry, 

 mellowed and refined, but distinct from either — and they are melting and without core. In 

 firmness they are like a blackberry and keep a long time either gathered or upon the bush 

 after ripe, before spoiling. The flavor is so luscious, novel and rich the berry cannot fail 

 to please everybody as a dessert fruit. P"or canning it is superior to all the other small 

 fruits, and for jellies and jams it is said to be unequalled also, though we have not tested 

 it in this respect.
