#December 8, 1841
#OTD James Logan, #California #Judge & #Creator of the #Loganberry, is born.

Morris Bishop wrote a #Poem called The #Legend Of The Loganberry, which tells how a #Rakish #Raspberry #Rebounded to the #Blackberry after being spurned by the #Rose:

Just to pain a #Sweet little rose
Lovers are very queer
He made a match in the blackberry patch
And ruined his own career.

And from that shameful mating
'Twas only temporary
Was born that #Wild, #Alluring child,
The lovely Loganberry!

#December 8, 1841
#OTD James Logan, #California Superior Court #Judge & #Gardener, is born.

#Judge Logan crossed a #Blackberry & the #Antwerp #Raspberry; the result was the #Loganberry.

One newspaper in #SantaCruz wrote,
"The #Vines or #Canes of the Loganberry trail or grow upon the ground more like the #Dewberry. They are exceedingly strong growers, each shoot or #Branch reaching a growth of eight to ten feet in one season without irrigation."

#OTD Rudolph Boysen, #Plant #Hybridizer, died.
On one #June #Morning, he found a new #Fruit on his #Plants - the #Boysenberry (a cross between the #Loganberry, #Raspberry, & #Blackberry).
The grower, Walter Knott, acquired the #Berry & named the plant in Rudy's honor. #Knott made an empire for himself with the proceeds - establishing Knott's Berry #Farm.
Rudolph Boysen never earned a dime from the Boysenberry.
