HYBRID BERRY A NOVELTY.
Large Fruit Shaped Like a Blackberry Has Raspberry Flavor.
A very remarkable new berry is on exhibition in the office of Mrs. Martha Shute. It is a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry and possesses many peculiarities.
While the fruit has the flavor of a raspberry it has the size and shape of a blackberry. It is 3¼ inches in circumference. It is of a beautiful wine color darker than that of a raspberry. It is the second year's growth and the first year's bearing.
The root was obtained from J. C. McPherson, Cambria, Cal. The berry is called the Logan, as propagated by Mr. Logan of Santa Rosa, Cal. The berry is a poor one for shipment and can only be used for quick consumption.—Denver Post.
