So far, the loganberry is successfully grown only in parts of California, Oregon anil Wash- ington where the temperature does not reach zero. The plants do not yield gracefully to the climates and soils of the regions east of the states named, succumbing to cold in the North and proving almost barren in the South. The largest centers of production at present are Sebastopol, California, and the great Willamette Valley of Oregon. Variously called a black- berry, a dewberry and a hybrid between the western dewberry and a red raspbcrrj'. the loganberry, by reason of its trailing canes, and habit of rooting at the tips, is probably best classified with the dewberries, it being, as most authorities now agree, a red-fruited variety of the western dewberry, R. vitifoUus. The original plant was discovered by Judge J. H. Logan, Santa Cruz, California, in 1881, and was considered a hybrid between the Aughin- baugh dewberry and a red raspberry, a theory untenable in light of recent investigations. Plant and fruit are sufficiently well described in the description of R. vitijolius, page 274. LUCRETIA. Fig. 256. Lucretia, which made its way slowly into popular favor, is now the best known and the most widely grown of all dewberries. It has attained this high place because endowed with a constitution fittmg it for a great diversity of soils, and for. 256. Lucretia.

The plants have the faults of being susceptible to anthracnose, and of producing many double with resultant sterility. The quality
