THE LOGANBERRY.
Although this fruit is generally known, it is doubtful if its merits as a fruit for the small garden are fully appre-
ciated. The loganberry is the result of a cross between the raspberry unci blackberry. It ie free cropping, and bears fruits resembling the raspberry, points of difference being that the berries havo larger pipe and the colour is darker. The flavour is rich, being reminiscent <-l both its parents and yet quite distinct from either. The loganberry may bo planted in any open position, and will flourish in ordinary garden soil, providing that they receive ample supplies of manure. It is very ornamental, if planted as a 6creen. Every year, directly after all tho berries have been gathered, the growths that have produced the fruits should be cut right out to the base.
