glossy black; firm, juicy, sweet and excellent; the 
variety almost exclusively planted in this vicinity 
for market. 
Lawton. Fruit large, ripens late, very productive. 
Mammoth. This new variety was raised by Judge 
Logan, of Santa Cruz, and is thought to be a cross 
between the California Wild Blackberry and the 
Crandall’s Early. It is a very rampant grower, 
trailing on the ground. Foliage is large, thick and 
of a deep green color. Fruit of the largest size 
and ripens early. In size and flavor it is said to 
surpass all other varieties of blackberries. 
DEWBERRY 
Lucretia. A trailing variety of the blackberry, 
producing an abundance of large, glossy black, 
handsome fruit, of excellent quality; the fruit 
ripens early and the plant does not sucker. 
PHENOMENAL BERRY 
Originated by Luther Burbank; a cross between 
Dewberry and Red Raspberry. Very similar to 
Loganberry. Mr. Burbank describes it as exceed¬ 
ing all previous berries in size; bright color, and 
of great productiveness. A decided acquisition to 
our list of small fruits. 
LOGANBERRY 
Vine an exceedingly strong grower; trails upon 
the ground like a dewberry, but should be grown 
on a trellis; fruit is often an inch and a quarter 
long, dark red, with the shape of a blackberry, the 
color of a raspberry and the flavor a combination 
of both: a splendid shipper. Now widely known 
and deservedly popular. 
STRAWBERRIES 
As varieties do not seem to retain their popu¬ 
larity for very long, we change our assortment 
steadily, and consequently do not list varieties 
here. Differences are slight, anyway, and hard to 
describe. Our annual price list will show what we 
have to offer each year.

not greatly resemble it. The shrub is very beau¬

winter season. Very hardy.
