BLACKBERRY-RASPBERRY 
(HYBRIDS! 
Loganberry. ( Raspberry-Blackberry. ) 
Judge J . H. Logan, of Santa Cruz, is the 
discoverer of this wonderful fruit. It is 
thought to be raised from a cross of the 
Aughinbaugh blacbkerry and the Red Ant- 
werp raspberry. The vine grows entirely 
unlike the blackberry or raspberry; it trails 
upon the ground like a dewberry. The 
canes are very large, without the thorns 
of the blackberry, but very fine spines 
like those of the raspberry. Leaves re- 
semble those of the raspberry, more than 
of the blackberry, are of a deep green 
color, coarse and thick. An exceedingly 
®tr°ng grower and an enormous bearer. 
The fruit is as large as the largest sized 
blackberry of the same form and shape a 
dark bright red color when fully ripe, and 
combines the flavor of both the raspberry 
and the blackberry, having a mild and 
pleasant vinous flavor not found in any 
other fruit. Raw, it is excellent for the 
table, also stewed and for jelly and jam 
it is without an equal. Fruit ripens earlv, 
the bulk being gone before the black- 
berries or raspberries become plentifil. 
It is firm and a fine shipper. 
The Phenomenal Berry. The result of a 
cross between the Improved California 
dewberry and the Cuthbert raspberry. 
Larger than the largest berry ever before 
known; bright crimson raspberry color, 
productive as could be desired and the 
most delicious of all berries for canning 
and drying. The berries grow in clusters, 
each have from five to ten or more, and 
individual berries often measure three 
inches around one way by four the other 
and weigh one quarter ounce each. 
DEWBERRIES (Rubus Canadensis) 
Austin Improved. Is of a glossy, shining 
black color; its very appearance has a 
tempting effect on those who see it. its 
flavor is most excellent. 
Lucretia. One of the low-growing, trail- 
ing blackberries; in size and quality it 
equals any of the tall-growing sorts. Per- 
fectly hardy, healthy and remarkably pro- 
ductive, with large snowy ' flowers. The 
fruit, which ripens early, is often 1J inches 
long by 1 inch in diameter, soft; sweet 
and luscious throughout, with no hard core, 
ripens before late raspberries are gone.’ 
Should be mulched to keep berries from 
the ground. 
CURRANTS ( Ribes ) 
R IPEN just before raspberries art 
gone, and continuing in prime or- 
der for several weeks. There is nc 
more useful fruit than the Currant, 
and it is among the easiest to cultivate. 
Plant in fertile soil made .so by lib- 
eral manuring. The tops should be cut 
back sc 
only three 
or four 
bran c h es 
will grow 
the first 
season. 
Thin out 
wood early, opening the bush considerably. At the first appearance° of 
currant worms they are easily destroyed by sprinkling with a can of water 
m which powdered white hellebore is stirred— one ounce to three gallons. 
Plant in rows five feet apart and three feet in row.
