There was a suggestion in a former blackberry Slogan
number of The Statesman , that the Evergreen blackberry
ought to be named the "Oregon blackberry," and that it should
be bo known in commerce. The suggestion is a good one. It
could be carrjed out, with the proper advertising and pushing.

enormous expansion, without danger of over production. f

showers in attaining perfection in growth, is certain. . 1
The 1924 pack of Evergreen blackberries of the Oregon
canneries was 170,677 cases. The figures for 1925 are not
yet available, but they-will show an increase; likely a large
increase. And the barrelled pack will surely show a big

stand out. j ,
The Evergreen blackberry is peculiarly well adapted for bard to believe that she nears the
cannimr. It "stands ud" inthe cans. In this resDect it is in seventy mark-
a class by itself. It has a distinction all its own. j But there X.ZTV TS'LS,

1 The certain future of the Evergreen blackberry lies part
5 ly in its great production to the acre and its economy of
cultivation, enabling growers and dealers and factories to put
it onto the markets at reasonable prices.
The Evergreen has another advantage, in the long life
of the vines. It does not seem to crow old. :
It has produced here as high as 16,000 pounds, to the
acre, and it may produce 25,000 pounds, with proper cultiva
'tion and irrigation. -
