THE LOGAN BERRY. 
A Tliornless 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, pleasing 
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 grows to 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 greenhouses 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 objectionable 
thorns. Never attacked by insects or diseases. Price, Ji 
per doz., $7 per 100. 
BUFFALO BERRY. 
The fruit resembles small currants, but is of richer 
taste, and literally covers the twigs and branches. If not 
f athered it will remain on the plants through the winter. 
Isteemed for pies, tarts, preserves, jellies, etc. The plants 
are very hardy and easily cultivated, and bear abundant 
crops of fruit every year. As the male and female blos- 
soms are borne on different plants, they should be planted 
in clusters of three or more for best results, io cts. each, 
$i per doz., $5 per 100. 
JAPANESE GOLDEN MAYBERRY. 
JAPANESE GOLDEN 
MAYBERRY. 
A Raspberry which ripens its frnit before strawberries. 
This is a decided and valuable novelty, originated by the cele- 
brated Luther Burbank, of California. We give the descrip- 
tion of this wonderful berry as follow : 
“ The earliest Raspberry ever known. The berries are of 
a golden straw color, as large as Cuthbert, and ripen here in 
April, a month before Hansel!, before strawberries, and be- 
fore the earliest of the standard Raspberries of the past have 
hardly awakened from their winter rest. The bushes are dis- 
tinct from all others, growing like trees, 6 to 8 feet high, with 
spreading tops, and all along the branches large white, bell- 
shaped blossoms are pendent. These are soon followed by 
great, sweet, glossy, golden, semi-translucent berries. The 
plants, when well established, will surprise one with their 
abundance of fruit. 
“The history of this variety is as follows : Some ten years 
ago I requested my collector in Japan to hunt up the best wild 
Raspberries, blackberries and strawberries that could be 
found. Several curious specimens were received the next 
season, among them a red and also a dingy yellow, unproduc- 
tive variety of Rubus palmatus. One of these plants, though 
bearing only a few of the most worthless, tasteless, dingy yel- 
low berries I have ever seen, was selected solely on account of 
its unusual earliness, to cross with Cuthbert and other well- 
known Raspberries. Among the seedlings raised from the 
plant was this Japanese Golden Mayberry, and though no 
signs of the Cuthbert appear in bush or fruit, yet it can hardly 
be doubted that Cuthbert pollen has effected some of the 
wonderful improvements to be seen in this new variety.” It 
will pay berry growers to plant the Japanese Golden May- 
berry. Price, 75 cts. per doz., 85 per ioj.
