BLACKBERRIES & HYBRID BERRIES. 
The Loganberry, the Mahdi Berry, and others are valuable additions to our small fruits, far superior 
to the ordinary Blackberry. When quite ripe they are delicious in flavour, and invaluable for preserving ; 
they are also most useful and ornamental for training over arches, wire fences, or covering any unsightly 
corners.
