Golden Mayberry. Originated by that celebrated experimenter, Luther Burbank, of 
California, who describes if as follows : “The earliest raspberry known, of golden 
straw color, as large as Cuthbert, and ripens here in April, before strawberries and 
the earliest of the standard raspberries have hardly awakened from their winters 
rest. The bushes grow like trees, six to eight feet high. All along the branches 
large, white, well shaped blossoms are pendent, which are soon followed by the. 
great sweet, glossy, golden, semi-translucent berries; the plants, when well established, 
will surprise one with their abundance of fruit/’ 
Logan Berry. (Raspberry-Blackberry.) Originated in California in 1884, supposed to be 
a cross between a Red Raspberry and a Blackberry. In California for several years it 
has been grown in quantity for market and has been well tested in Eastern states. 
Vine a strong grower, spreading like Dewberry, free from disease; canes large with soft 
spines; leaves coarse and thick; exceedingly prolific; ripens very early. Fruit size o 
large Blackberries, same form and shape, color bright red, seeds small, flavor combina- 
tion of Black and Raspberry; mild, pleasant, 
vinous, excellent. 
Strawberry-Raspberry. (Rubus Sorbifolius.) One 
of the remarkable recent introductions from Japan. 
A beautiful dwarf raspberry, seeming from its 
character to be a hybrid between the raspberry 
and the strawberry. Bush dies to the ground in 
the fall, makes a handsome low spreading plant 
with dark-green foliage. Fruit is early, stands 
well out from the foliage; size and shape of a 
strawberry; color brilliant crimson; flavor unique 
and delicious. 
Japanese Raspberry. (Wineberry.) Berry round, 
deep red, glossy, handsome and fairly firm. Born 
in large clusters, and each berry at first tightly en- 
veloped by the large calyx, forming a sort of burr, 
which is covered with purplish red hairs. These 
gradually open and turn back, exposing wine- 
colored fruit of medium size, brisk sub-acid, retain- 
ing flavor when cooked.
