Title: Prospects for Brambles in the Nursery Industry
Author: R.H. Converse

Abstract:
Nurserymen have traditionally offered
an assortment of raspberries and
blackberries in their catalogs.
The
pretty pictures in the catalog; the
pleasing prospect of quality fruit; the
steady stream of new varieties; and
the relative ease of handling the dormant
plants, have all combined to assure
the place of the popular brambles
in the nursery trade.
Since Depression days, however,
brambles have been in the doldrums
as far as national commercial acreage
is concerned.
For instance, there are
now only 24,000 acres of raspberries
throughout the USA, or about enough
to allow each person a single 4-ounce
serving once a year.
Blackberry acreage
is also limited.
