A COMING NURSERYMAN 
Yes. of course, I want the National Nurseryman for the 
next year and even for years to come. It is a great 
pleasure for me to read your journal, because one can 
keep up with the latest doings in the nursery business. 
Kindly send tlie bill for same to Harrisons’ Nurseries, of 
Berlin. Maryland. 
This is my Junior year at Cornell University. I have 
had first class success, so far, with my University work 
and besides a good time. 
I intend to visit Rochester some time this term, and if 
i do, I will surely “drop” around at your office. 
Yours truly, 
G. Hale Harrison. .

THE LOGANBERRY 
Mr. T. W. Clark, Syracuse, New York, in writing to 
The National Nurseryman laments the fact that the 
Loganberry is not better known in the eastern and south¬ 
ern states. He is very enthusiastic about it, claiming it 
to be an enormous yielder and the fruit of exceptionally 
fine flavor, and when it becomes known, either as a fla¬ 
voring for the drinks at the soda fountain or as preserves 
it is in great demand. The dried Loganberries are a 
great pie berry and very popular when known, as they 
lose very little of their flavor. 
John Weathers in “Commercial Gardening.” an able 
work of recent publication, states that it lias not yet 
caught on in the old country with the market gardening 
community. In England it grows profusely in almost 
any soil, requiring very little attention and Mr. Weathers 
recommends it should be planted in waste corners of the 
garden where there is at least an abundance of sunshine. 
The Loganberry is a hybrid between the red rasp¬ 
berry and the blackberry and is named after Judge Lo¬ 
gan. Il is grown in great quantities in the western 
states, where it is thought very highly of. 
Roy E. Miller, Cornwallis, Oregon, in Fruit and Pro¬ 
duce Marketer says: The loganberry is very limited in its 
adaptation, being grown mostly in Western Oregon and 
California. Letters from the East and Middle West, and 
even from Eastern Oregon, show that in these localities 
I he loganberry does not do well. The berry requires a 
fairly cool, and humid growing season. 
Just WHY Our Shrubs 
Are the Shrubs to BUY 
T HEY are best to buy because, price considered, their qual¬ 
ity is way above the average. 
You reply: “It’s easy enough to say that they are, 
but in what way are they?” 
We answer: “They are above the average in vigor and 
quantity of root development.” 
You ask: “But why are they?” 
We answer: “This famous, fertile soil of Chester County, 
Pa., is ideal for shrub root development and the climate is 
sufficiently vigorous to give them that sturdiness your shrubs 
so need for successful planting under varying climate con¬ 
ditions.” 
No one has finer Barberries. 60,000 plants we offer you, 
every one grown right here by us, from cuttings of original 
Japanese stock. Thep rice is a mighty attractive one. And 
so it is on the Viburnum Plicatum. Don’t let these two es¬ 
pecially items get by you. Send along your orders.
