This fine and novel 
fruit is a beautiful 
Dwarf Raspberry, 
growing only 15 to 18 
inches high, spreading considerably, soon forming dense clumps of solid 
foliage. 
The plant itself is handsome ; its bright green foliage resembles that of the 
rose. The large, pure white, wax-like flowers, with 
snow-white stamens, are even larger than a single rose, 
and produced in great abundance. It is, therefore, suffi 
ciently showy to be grown in pots, as it bears flowers and 
fruit when quite small and for a long time, and in this 
shape makes fine little decorative specimens forthe table. 
In the garden it is beautiful when in bloom. 
The fruits, produced very early in the season, stand 
upright, well out of the foliage, and are thus easily gath- 
ered. They are of the size and shape of a large straw- 
berry, and entirely distinct from any other Raspberry. 
In developing, they pass from pale green through amber 
and orange, to a brilliant and shining red. These beau- 
tiful berries, glowing against the handsome green foli- 
age, produce a most striking color effect. Their flavor 
is most delicious and unique, whether eaten fresh or 
cooked, or as preserves, differing from that of any fruit 
known. The bush dies down in winter, hence is per- 
fectly hardy without protection. In the spring it grows 
up more luxuriant than ever. This plant can be divided 
and transplanted for propagation. Of Japanese origin, 
and apparently unknown to botanists. Sure to become 
popular. 
THE LOGAN BERRY. 
A Thornless Raspberry-Blackberry. 
. THE GREATEST NOVELTY . 
IN FRUIT OF THE CENTURY. 
This berry is unlike any in previous existence— a 
hybrid between the Raspberry and Blackberry. The fruit 
is as large as the largest blackberry, and is produced in 
immense clusters. The color is a clear dark red, pleas 
i ng to the eye. It partakes of the flavor of both the black- 
berry and the raspberry — a mild, pleasant, vinous flavor, 
delicious and peculiar to this berry alone. Excellent for 
all purposes. Seeds small, soft and few. Berries very 
firm, and carry well. Vine or cane strong grower, 10 feet 
and more in a season ; enormous bearer. Fruit ripens 
early, just after strawberries, nearly all being gone before 
blackberries or raspberries become plentiful. Always 
sells at a high price. It has produced fruits in the green 
houses in January on young plants not over 8 inches high, 
grown in 3 inch pots, every blossom setting a fruit. 
Would be valuable for early forcing. Vine is rust-proof 
and without objection 
able thorns. Never at 
tacked by insects or 
diseases.
