During- the past 15 years 
we have tried out one 
variety of Thornless berry 
right after another as they have been 
offered the public. We have never 
featured these varieties in our catalog, 
because after careful trials we have in¬ 
variably found them less fruitful than 
the corresponding thorny variety.

Now comes the Thornless Loganberry, 
and in our trial plantings last summer 
they proved not only just as productive, 
but far more productive than plantings 
of ordinary Loganberries in the same 
field. This Thornless Loganberry is a 
vigorous grower, and the canes have 
been absolutely free from disease, and 
entirely thornless. 
No-w that the wineries are using 
Loganberry juice again. Loganberries 
are bringing higher prices than they 
have brought for many years, and since 
there have been very few fields of 
Loganberries planted for a number of 
years, fresh Loganberries have become 
scarce on the fresh fruit markets, and 
have met an insistent demand for the 
past few seasons. 
The Loganberry is an old variety here 
on the Pacific Coast, having been intro¬ 
duced some 40 years ago, and of late 
years has appeared to be diminishing in 
vigor and producing smaller crops than 
it formerly did. Now comes this new 
Thornless Loganberry with all of the 
vigor of the ordinary Loganberry when 
it was new, and at a time when Logan¬ 
berry acreage is low and when there is 
an excellent demand for the fruit and at

good prices. This is an excellent oppor¬ 
tunity for the berry grower to add an¬ 
other very profitable variety to his 
planting. 
There is another point in favor of the 
Thornless Loganberry which should ap¬ 
peal to the commercial grower. It is a 
patented variety which makes it possible 
for the grower to raise plants to in¬ 
crease his own planting as fast as he 
chooses, but not to sell. This is a pro¬ 
tection to the commercial grower be¬ 
cause it prevents over-production. This 
is particularly important for a variety 
like the Loganberry for which there is 
an insistent demand for a limited quan¬ 
tity of the fruit. 
The Home Gardener will enjoy raising 
a few plants of the Thornless Logan- 
oerry. Many people think Loganberries 
are very sour, but in your own garden 
you can allow them to hang on the vines 
until they are thoroughly ripe, and you 
will find them a very delicious and high¬ 
ly flavored berry. These light green 
Thornless vines make a beautiful sight 
when they are hanging full of berries 
and they are so nice to handle. 
Commercial Growers, do not pass up 
this money making opportunity.
