GROWING BUSH FRUITS 



Black Raspberry 



Kansas and Plum Farmer are early. Gregg and Cumberland are 

 mid-season varieties. Shuttleworth is an improved chance seedling of 

 Plum Farmer which seems to be superior in every way. Bristol and 

 Naples are two new varieties which are well worth trial. The ripening 

 of Naples follows Bristol and lengthens the season. 



Purple Raspberry 



The dull, unattractive appearance of a purple raspberry is offset by 

 the dark red color and rich flavor of the cooked fruit. Sodus and 

 Columbian are standard varieties at the present time. Because of 

 superior qualities Sodus will replace Columbian as soon as sufficient 

 stock is available. 



Blackberry 



Eldorado is one of the best commercial varieties; Early Harvest is 

 popular in the South, but it is very susceptible to orange rust; Lawton 

 is grown on the Pacific Coast. Marvel is one of the leading varieties in 

 Florida, and is promising for the South. Himalaya is important in 

 restricted areas on the Pacific Coast, where it is very productive. It is 

 easily injured by cold and difficult to train. 



Mammoth, a dewberry hybrid and self-unfruitful, is popular in 

 California but not hardy in the East. McDonald, another dewberry 

 hybrid, also self-unfruitful, is grown extensively in Texas, Oklahoma, 

 and Missouri. It ripens nearly two weeks before the usual blackberry 

 season. 



Evergreen is important in Oregon and Washington. It is only par- 

 tially hardy in other sections. 



Dewberry 



Gardena is important in California. Lucretia is the standard in 

 most sections. Mayes (Austin Mayes) is the leading variety in Texas; 

 Premo is grown in North Carolina; Young is popular in Louisiana and 

 worthy of trial in the South and on the Pacific Coast. 



The Loganberry is grown extensively in California. It is not known 

 whether it is a red sport of the dewberr>% a hybrid with the blackberry, 

 or possibb^ with the red raspberry. In any case it is now the name for 

 a group rather than that of a particular variety. Members of the group 

 are vigorous growers and very productive of large red berries. They are
