THE LOQAN BERRY. A RASPBERRY=BLACKBERRY==A GREAT NOVELTY. Several years ago, Judge J. H. I^ogan, of Santa Cruz, had growing in his garden plants of the Aughin- baugh blackberry and Red Antwerp raspberry ; the plants being near each other, had grown together. The Judge, having noticed that the plants blossomed and ripened their fruit together, conceived the idea of plant- in o-the seeds" from which resulted the production of the Logan Berry. He produced a fruit or berry entirely unMke any in previous existenceâa hybrid or mixture of two fruits partaking of the characteristics of both its parents. Canes of the Logan Berry'grow unlike either the blackberry or the raspberry. It is an exceedingly strong grower, very large, without the thorns of the blackberrj- bushes, but with fine, soft spines, much like those'found on raspberry bushes ; leaves like those of the raspberry, of a deep green color, coarse and thick The fruit is as large as the largest sized blackberry, is of the same form and shape : color when fully ripe, a dark bright red. It partakes of the flavors of both the blackberry- and the raspbern,', having a very mild, pleasant, vinous flavor, delightful to the taste, and not found in any other fruit, but peculiar to this alone. It is excellent for the table, eaten raw or stewed, and for jelly or jam is with- out an equal. The seeds are very small, soft and not abundant, and, therefore, entirely unlike the objec- tionable seeds of both parents. The fruit is extremely firm and carries ZL'ell. The canes are enormo-ns bear- er s, and the fruit commences to ripen verv' early, the bulk, or nearly all, being ripe and gone before black- berries and raspberries become plen- tiful,
