shaped like a blaekberry. Its flavor is similar to the red 
raspberry, exeepting it is mueh more tart. 
About three years ago, someone experimented with drying 
this berry and it proved to be a great sueeess. Sinee that 
time, it has been in great demand. 
The Logan juiee is also being used as the grape juiee, and it 
makes a delightful drink. 
Logans are at their best in July, but I hope a few will be 
ripe when you are here, so that you may sample them. 
We western nurserymen are looking forward to your 
eoming with mueh pleasure, and we will put forth our best 
efforts to show you a good time. If you have not yet deeided 
to make the trip, you had best write the seeretary at onee.
