Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofamer04bail4 Year: 1900 EUBUS BUBUS 1587 sweet. In the mountains, particularly in the Coast Ranges, of the Pacilic slope; also in Idaho.—It lias come into some prominence as a fruit plant within the last dozen years. Named varieties are Auhinbaugh, Skagit Chief, Belle of Washington and Washington Climbing Blackberry. The species is perplexingly va riable, and well-marked characters seem to be asso- ciated with the different sexual forms. The Loganberry (which see, p. 937) is said to be a hybrid between this species and li. Idcens. R. vitifolius is recorded as hav- ing been crossed with H. cratcegifoJius by Luther Bur- bank. The Mammoth Blackberry of California is said to be a cross between R. vltifolius and the Wild Black- berry of Texas {R. argittns ?). See Paoillc Rural Press, Sept. 4, 1897, for description and portrait. The account says that the Mammoth 'produces berries of immense size, supposed to be the largest Blackberry ever grown, berries 2 inches in length being frequently found. The canes of the Mammoth are very peculiar, being very large and thickly covered with small, short spines. The canes start early in March, grow thick and stout until about 5 ft. high; they then take on a run- ning habit and grow from 25 to 30 ft. in a season. Late in the fall the tips or stolons seek the ground and take root.' The variety is partially evergreen in California. The fruit is said to be more acid than the old Lawton Blackberry, but ' when perfectly ripe is sweet and of superior flavor.' Group 6. Exotic DewberrieSy with very long, pricklij, glaucous canes and large very sharp-toothed Ifts. 36. dumetdrum,
