NEW HYBRID BERRIES 
THE LOGAN BERRY. 
A Thornless Raspberry-Blackberry. 
THE GREATEST FRUIT NOVELTY 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 im- 
mense 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 10 feet and more 
in a season ; enormous bearer. Fruit ripens early, ,iust 
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 iu 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. A promis- 
ing fruit novelty. Price, 15 ct>. each, $1.50 per doz., $8 
per 100. 
Lucre tia 
Dewberry 
Logan Berry. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY. 
This is the finest of its class ; one of the several that 
have proved successful. The fruit is handsome, and 
has succeeded wherever it has been tried. A strong 
grower, and exceedingly productive. We happened 
upon the bushes at their fullest ripening. The Wilson 
Jr. and Early Harvest had not begun to turn, and the 
I.ucretia had been ripe several days before we visited 
the patch the 8th of J uly. We will say at a venture that 
the Lucretia ripens at least ten days before any 
other Blackberry. This is surely a good record for 
Lucretia. Price, tips, 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, 
$7 per 1,000; transplants, 75 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 
100, $10 per 1,000. 
AUSTIN’S IMPROVED, or 
MAYES’ HYBRID DEWBERRY. 
From American Gardening: “The berries 
are much larger than 
those of any other 
Dewberry or any other 
blackberry. A strange 
peculiarity of this plant 
is that it requires no 
trellises or stakes, but 
can easily be trained into 
a tree form. The fruit 
of this new Dewberry is 
jet-black aud the flavor 
superior. For produc- 
tiveness it outrivals all 
Dewberries or blackber- 
ries, as high as $966 
per acre having been 
realized from the sale of 
this berry, the berries 
selling readily at 15 cents 
per quart; quite hardy.’* 
$1 per doz., $1 per 100. Mayes’ Hybrid Dewberry.
