SO-CALLED BLACK LOGANBERRY: A WARNING.
A plant known as “ black loganberry ” has been raised and distributed by at least one nursery firm in New Zealand, with the idea that something in advance of the common loganberry had been secured. Doubtless this was done in good faith, but the firm chiefly concerned, as well as other persons who have had experience with the plant as a commercial proposition, now realize that to continue with it means trouble for the future, without expectation of any reasonable present recompense. The plant not only fails to set fruit satisfactorily, but has the spreading propensities of blackberry, and is almost as difficult to eradicate. This note of warning is therefore issued for the information of any would-be growers.— J. A. Campbell, Director, Horticulture Division.
