This berry, when not cooked, is too acid for most tastes, but is always 

 praised bej-ond any words I would care to use in describing it, as someone 

 might be disappointed. I will say this much — a more delicious berry for 

 canning or drying has never been introduced ; the most exquisite flavors of 

 both Raspberries and Blackberries being combined and itensified in it. 



The photograph is not quite life size. Stock on hand : One very large

" Fred C. vSmith, Horticultural Commissiouer for the vSouth Australiau Goverument, 

 accompanied by Win. Brooke, also of Australia, and Mr. Cillie of South Africa, spent Tuesday 

 in this city. One of the chief objects of their visit was to meet Luther Burbank, who is one 

 of the best-known liorticulturists. Mr. Smith says his works are extensively read in 

 Australia, and are looked upon as eminent authority. He was as much pleased with the 

 man as with the author." — Santa Rosa Democrat. 



" Par.^dox." 



Blackberry-Raspberry Hybrid. 



*' Paradox." (For history and description see New Creations for June, 1893.) 



The plant is very productive of most delicious crimson berries, especiall}^ 

 valuable for home use as they are not as firm as most Blackberries, being more 

 like average Raspberries in that respect. The flavor is exactly balanced between 

 Raspberries and Blackberries, as are all other characteristics of the plant. The 

 berries improve in size as the plant grows older. Price, S800. 



"I beg to thank you for the catalogue of New Creations and for the information as 

 to the disposal of your two Quince varieties. I have written to each of the purchasers. I 

 hope the other marvelous productions have fallen into good hands, and that we shall hear 

 of them as soon as they are put on the market. One can but wonder as to the possibilities 

 of many of your combinations." A. WoouROFFE, Auckland, N. Z.
