Gn. 21, p. 57; 45, p. 78. —This Blackberry is probably native to Europe, where it has been long known in gardens. It is 100 apparently only a cut-leaved form of the common Euro- pean Etibus fruticosus. It is now widely scattered, and seems to thrive particularly well in Hawaii and other Pacitic islands and on tlie Pacific slope. By some it is supposed to be native to the South Sea Islands (see Bull. 64, Utah Exp. Sta.). It is probable that the plant has been introduced into the West from those sources, but such fact does not prove its original nativity. It has aroused considerable attention in Oregon and other parts of the West, and is often known as the Oregon Everbearing Blackberry. In mild climates the lower parts of the canes often live from year to year until they become as thick as one's wrist; and in such cli- mates the leaves persist for the greater part of the winter. The plant has long been grown for ornament in the eastern states, but it has not attracted attention as a fruit-plant in this region. The fruits are of fair size and quality, and ripen from midsummer or late summer to October. The plant is a good ornamental subject, although it is likely to cause trouble by sprouting at the root.
