THE CARCHI WHITE BLACKBERRY FROM THE ECUADOREAN ANDES. 
(Rubus adenotrichos Schlecht., S. P. I. No. 54280.) 
This berry comes from the northernmost part of Ecuador, where it is found at elevations above 
10,000 feet. It is a vigorous grower, the stout canes reaching to 8 or 10 feet in length. 
The fruits are cream white in color, soft, and juicy, with small seeds. In flavor they are 
much like the common blackberry. The plant may prove suitable for cultivation in the 
Pacific Northwest and in the Gulf States. (Photograph of immature fruits, natural size,
