‘Onyx’ is a new trailing blackberry (Rubus subg. Rubus Watson) cultivar from the U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) breeding program in Corvallis, OR, released in cooperation with the Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station. ‘Onyx’ is a vigorous, somewhat erect, thorny, trailing blackberry that produces moderate yields of uniform, firm, and sweet high quality fruit with excellent flavor that are suited for the local and wholesale fresh market. ‘Onyx’ is being released primarily as a result of its outstanding fresh fruit quality in the late season.
‘Onyx’, tested as ORUS 1523-4, was selected in Corvallis, OR, in 1997 from a cross made in 1995 of OSC 1466 and ORUS 1117-11. OSC 1466 was selected in 1966 and has always been noted for its productivity and outstanding fruit quality, especially flavor, but its fruit are small. ORUS 1117-11 is a thornless selection with high yields of late-ripening fruit with excellent quality. ‘Onyx’ is being released
primarily as a result of its outstanding fresh fruit quality in the late season.

Description and specifications of a new and distinct blackberry cultivar which originated from seed produced by a hand pollinated cross of OSC 1466 (non-patented)×ORUS 1117-11 (non-patented) is provided. This new trailing blackberry cultivar can be distinguished by its high yields, large fruit size, excellent fresh fruit quality, mid-late season fruit ripening, and healthy plants.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the discovery of a new and distinct cultivar of blackberry hybrid plant botanically know as a Rubus subgenus Rubus hybrid and herein referred to as ‘ONYX’, as herein described and illustrated.
The new and distinct cultivar of blackberry originated from a hand pollinated cross of OSC 1466 (non-patented)×ORUS 1117-11 (non-patented).
Plants and fruit of this new cultivar differ phenotypically from its parents. The new cultivar is later ripening and larger in fruit size than the female parent OSC 1466 (non-patented) and has firmer, more uniformly shaped fruit than the male parent ORUS 1117-11 (non-patented). The new cultivar also has thorny canes, unlike the ORUS 1117-11 (non-patented) parent. The new cultivar has higher yields of firmer fruit than either of the parent blackberries. Although blackberries (Rubus subgenus Rubus) are highly heterogeneous and outcrossing, and most clones contain genes from more than one species, the new cultivar and its progenitor lines phenotypically exhibit characters predominately of the trailing western United States species, Rubus ursinus Cham et. Schltdl. (western trailing blackberry). Rubus idaeus L., (red raspberry), R. armeniacus Focke (Himalaya blackberry). R. baileyanus Britton, and R. argutus Link Porter (highbush blackberry) can all be found in the pedigree of this new cultivar.
The seeds resulting from this controlled hybridization were germinated in a greenhouse in the winter of 1995 and planted in a field in Corvallis, Oreg. in the spring. The seedlings fruited during the summer of 1997 and one, designated ORUS 1523-4, was selected for its mid-late season ripening, large fruit size, excellent fruit quality, and excellent plant health.
During 1997, the original plant selection was propagated asexually from dormant, hardwood cane cuttings from the above noted location. An observational plot of 3 plants was established at the above noted location and at Aurora, Oreg. in the spring of 1998. Subsequently, larger replicated plantings were established Aurora, Oreg. with asexually multiplied plants.
The new cultivar has been asexually multiplied annually since 1997 by the use of cane cuttings. The new cultivar was established in vitro from a cane cutting and microcuttings have been taken and rooted from this sort of culture. During all asexual multiplication, the characteristics of the original plant have been maintained and no aberrant phenotypes have appeared.
Test plantings over a wide geographic area have shown this new cultivar to be adapted to differing soil and climatic conditions although it is best adapted to Mediterranean type climates where trailing blackberries are typically grown.
Plants of the new cultivar are vigorous and prolific and establish well after planting. Primocanes and floricanes have typical trailing blackberry growth habit. The plants are thorny with size and density of thorns being less than ‘Marion’ (non-patented) at the base, comparable at midpoint, and more thorny at the terminus. The primocanes emerge and grow vertically for 30-60 cm before arching to the ground and growing along the ground. Primocanes are typically lifted and tied onto a trellis system and after going through the dormant period break bud, flower and fruit as floricanes. Plants show no particular susceptibility to anthracnose [Elsinoe veneta (Burkh.) Jenkins], septoria (Septoria rubi Westend), cane blight (Leptosphaeria coniothyrium ([Fuckel] Sacc.) spur blight (Didymella applanata [Niessl] Sacc.), and purple blotch (Septocyta ruborum [Lib.] Petr.) nor have they tested positive for Raspberry bushy dwarf virus. The bloom period of the new cultivar averages 4-5 days later than the ‘Marion’ (non-patented) and 8-11 days later than ‘Black Diamond’ (non-patented).
Fruit of the new cultivar begin ripening 19 days later than ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented) and 9 days later than ‘Marion’ (non-patented). The average harvest date of 5% ripe fruit is 9 July, of 50% ripe fruit is 16 July, and 1 August for 95% ripe fruit in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and the midpoint of harvest is 7 days later than for ‘Marion’ (non-patented). Fruit yields of the new cultivar are usually around 14, 309 kg/hectare (6.39 tons/acre) and are comparable to those for ‘Marion’ (non-patented). Yields are consistent from year to year.
The fruit is conical, with very uniformly sized, shaped and arranged drupelets giving the fruit a very uniform, attractive shape. The fruit are bright glossy black. The fruit is medium large (6.1 g) and typically 1 g larger than ‘Marion’ (non-patented) and 0.5 g smaller than ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented). The new cultivar maintains a uniform fruit size throughout the harvest season. The new cultivar exhibits excellent fruit fertility with full drupelet set in contrast to ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented), which can have poorly set fruit tips; it also has much better drupelet set than ‘Marion’ (non-patented). The fruit is firm at maturity, rating much higher than ‘Marion’ (non-patented) and comparable to ‘Metolius’ (non-patented) and ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented).
The fresh fruit rates very good in flavor, being comparable to ‘Obsidian’ (non-patented), ‘Metolius’ (non-patented), and ‘Kotata’ (non-patented) but slightly lower than ‘Marion’ (non-patented) or ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented). The flavor is sweet with a nice acidic balance with aroma typical of western blackberries. The fruit texture is comparable to ‘Marion’ (non-patented), ‘Metolius’ (non-patented), ‘Obsidian’ (non-patented), and ‘Siskiyou’ (non-patented) and the seeds are much less noticeable than in ‘Chester Thornless’ (non-patented) and ‘Ouachita’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 17,162). The soluble solids concentration averages 13.7% on shiny black fruit, similar to ‘Marion’ (non-patented) (13.3%) and lower than ‘Navaho’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,679), (15.6%). Dry seed weight averages 3.28 mg/seed, and seeds are smaller than those of ‘Marion’ (non-patented) and ‘Black Diamond’ (non-patented) (each 3.95 mg seed).
Fruit clusters are medium-long (similar to ‘Marion’ (non-patented)), cymose, and are mostly borne on the periphery of the plant canopy, providing easy access to harvest. Flower fertility is high and clusters are well filled.
The new cultivar has been named the ONYX cultivar.

Brown, Newburg, Maine. Plants hardy, very productive of small insipid fruits which fail to ripen properly. -- U.P. Hedrick. 1925. The Small Fruits of New York.'I grew up at what is now 1139 Ohio Street in Bangor, a small homestead farm owned by my father, Donald L. Chase for many years. The third house north of us on the same side of Ohio Street was owned and occupied by Axel Henry Gren, always referred to as Harry. Harry's mother, Jennie, daughter of William E. Brown, had grown up on that homestead. In the early 1950's, Harry gave me some blackberry plants. I don't remember if they were crowns or root cuttings but I planted them in a short row and they grew. Though they have not been tended for many years, a few still come up every year. I moved to my current homestead in Levant in 1960. In the mid or late 1960's I brought some root cuttings from my old Ohio Street home and set out a new row of them. They have been running wild in the sod for the last several years but still produce a few large juicy berries each year. In the spring of 2004 I reset a new bed of a dozen plants with root cuttings from the old plants. Each grew and survived the winter. When Harry gave me the plants in the early 50's he told me that they were called 'Bangor Blackberries' and had been planted by his grandfather Brown in 1880. He said that his grandfather had obtained the plants from a horticulturist in Newburgh, Maine who had developed a strain that was winter hardy in this area.Sometime in the mid to late 1970's, I found a 1925 edition of Fred W. Card's book 'Bush Fruits - a handbook of raspberries, blackberries, dewberries, currants, blueberries, and other small fruits' originally Copyright 1908 by the author and again in in 1917 and 1925 by The Macmillan Company. Included in the book, beginning on page 214, is a long list of the names of blackberries and dewberries known to have been introduced into cultivation in the United States. On page 216 of the list is the following: (quoted above). The reference to 'Newbury' is obviously a typographical corruption of the correct spelling 'Newburgh'. The US Census of the Inhabitants of Newburgh, Penobscot County, Maine enumerated on the Second day of June, 1880 lists Henry W Brown, age 40, farmer. His father George P. Brown is listed in the same household. The above referenced farm of Henry W. Brown was located on the north side of the current Route 9. At that time, the first farm in Newburgh just easterly of the Newburgh/Dixmont town line was owned by James F. Emery, the next farm easterly by Gideon P. Leavitt and the next farm easterly by George P. Brown. The 1880 US Census shows George P. Brown living in the household of Henry K. Brown. An August 30, 1892 deed recorded in the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds in Book 624 Page 177 transfers ownership of this 100 more or less acre farm from the heirs of George P. Brown, including Henry W. Brown, to Daniel and Rubus Brown of Boston. There is no record of Henry W. Brown owning real estate in Newburgh other than through this heirship record.' -- Writeup about Bangor Blackberry dated May 4, 2005 by Peter D. Chase of Levant, Maine - provided with the plants donated to NCGR by Heron Breen of Saint Albans, Maine.

The `Everthornless` blackberry cultivar, and ex vitro somaclonal variant of the `Thornless Evergreen` cultivar of Rubus laciniatus willd., has good fruit yield, has a late ripening season and produces thornless, not thorny, shoots from its roots. The `Thornless Evergreen` is a periclinal chimera with a mutated thornless epidermal layer that encompasses internal cells which retain the genetic potential to produce thorns (technically, blackberry thorns are actually prickles that arise from epidermal tissue). As long as this periclinal arrangement is maintained, the plant stays thornless. However, any shoots arising from the internal tissue of a thorny genotype will be thorny and its gametes carry the thorny gene. Since blackberry roots develop from the thorny, internal parts of the stem, shoots coming from parental-type roots will always have thorns. Thorny canes interfere with cultural operations and harvest and may warrant abandonment of a planting. The `Thornless Evergreen` cultivar of Rubus laciniatus Willd., was introduced into shoot tip culture from virus-free plants. Shoot tips were proliferated and rooted in modified Murashige and Skoog plant tissue culture medium. These long-term cultures were used as research material for a project designed to identify an ex vitro nonchimeral thornless selection of `Thornless Evergreen`. Ex vitro plants of `Thornless Evergreen` were examined for trueness to the original type. Adventitious buds from root segments were used to screen for presence of the thornless mutation in internal tissues. First-test field trial plantings were established in Urbana and Dixon Springs, Ill. and growth, flowering, and fruit set were monitored. Vegetative propagules of selections from Illinois first-test field trials were sent to Oregon State University, North Williamette Experiment Station, Aurora, Oreg. for second-test field trials. From the second-test field trial, one somaclonal variant (a nonchimeral thornless plant) of `Thornless Evergreen` was selected based on its growth and fruitfulness. This selection is named `Everthornless`. The `Everthornless` produces thornless advantitious shoots from roots and is compact (primocanes which are less than 3 meters in length compared to `Thornless Evergreen` primocanes which are greater than 9 meters), which make it more suitable for the conventional trellising system of culture. Besides the shorter primocane length in the "Everthornless" cultivar, there are many other distinguishing features of the "Everthornless" cultivar relative to the parent "Thornless Evergreen" cultivar. Unlike the parent plant, the "Everthornless" cultivar produces thornless and not thorny shoots from its roots. In addition, the petioles of the "Everthornless" cultivar are quit different from the petioles of the parent "Thornless Evergreen". The petioles of the "Everthornless" cultivar are bent, a trait not found in the "Thornless Evergreen". Moreover, the "Thornless Evergreen" has clasping petioles that encircle the stem, while the petioles of the "Everthornless" have a swollen base, without the clasping petioles. | 1684607 | PI 653102 |

`Wild Treasure' is a new trailing blackberry (Rubus subg. Rubus Watson) cultivar from the U.S. Department of Agriculture' Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) breeding program in Corvallis, OR, released in cooperation with Oregon State University's Agricultural Experiment Station. `Wild Treasure' is thornless and has high-quality fruit that are very small and suitable for mechanical harvest. The fruit is of particular value for market niches where small fruit size is perceived as superior. Such markets include bakery products that use whole berries and in frozen polybag fruit blends in which large-fruited blackberries are out of proportion to the other components of the mix. `Wild Treasure? is named to recognize its pedigree because it was selected from a cross between a thornless cultivar and a selection of the western dewberry, Rubus ursinus Cham. et Schlt. `Wild Treasure?, tested as ORUS 1843-3, was selected in Corvallis, OR, in 1998 from a cross made in 1996 of GP 9-24 and `Waldo?. GP 9-24 is a selection made from a seedling population of R. ursinus that was collected as fruit from Mount Hebo (Oregon) in the Siuslaw National Forest at an elevation of 961 m. GP 9-24 was originally selected for its larger fruit size relative to other R. ursinus genotypes, low foliar disease incidence, and high fruit number per lateral. `Waldo? is a very high-quality thornless blackberry that has excellent foliar disease resistance, medium?large fruit, high yield, and short internodes that result in a somewhat dwarfed plant with brittle canes (Lawrence, 1989). Selections from this cross had the superior fruit quality and vigorous growth of R. ursinus combined with the good disease tolerance and thornlessness of `Waldo?. | 1652028 | PI 638265 |

| 42 | PI 643971 | 'Mammoth' | Rubus hybr. | Australia | COR |  | Not Available | 2000 | DONATED | | | | | | Cultivar | This is another blackberry-dewberry which since it partakes most of the blackberry parent, is usually listed with blackberries, The variety is grown very little in New York and the East because it is too tender to cold, but it is a standard bramble fruit in California, esteemed both for its healthy, vigorous, productive plants and for its enormous, handsome, richly flavored fruits. Well grown, the fruits are said to be larger than those of any other of the cultivated brambles. The plants of Mammoth are remarkable in that the canes grow upright several feet and then begin to trail, sometimes attaining a length of 25 or 30 feet. The canes are stout and covered with small, short spines. The plants are propagated from tips and usually fail to come from root cuttings, the method of propagating blackberries. The leaves are semi-evergreen in California. The blossoms are self-sterile and the loganberry is usually set for cross pollination. TYwo other varieties very similar to Mammoth are offered by nurserymen under the names Tribble and Cory Thornless. Californians say that they are distinct, however. The canes of the Cory Thornless are said to be thornless or nearly so. Mammoth was originated by Judge J. H. Logan, Santa Cruz, California, and is supposed to be a cross between the Texas blackberry and the western dewberry. The name was added to the list of fruits recommended for culture by the American Pomological Society in 1909. The variety has often been confused with Bartel which has also been called Mammoth.Plants very vigorous, semi-trailing, tender to cold, unproductive in the East, but very productive on the Pacific Slope, healthy; propagated from tips; reported that it cannot be increased by root-cuttings; canes very long, cylindrical to slightly angular, green mingled with a tinge of dull red, pubescent, glandular; prickles variable in length, small and short, unusually numerous, purplish red; leaflets 3, large, ovate, dark green, rugose, pubescent with dentate margins; petiole short, thick, very prickly. Flowers self-sterile, very late, in loose leafy clusters; petals white, oblong; peticles prickly, long, thick, eglandular; calyx tomentose, eglandular. Fruit early midseason, resists drought very well, said to ship poorly, very large regular in shape cylindrical-conic glossy black; druplets medium in size, very numerous, with strong coherence; core soft; flesh juicy, tender, rather sour until fully ripe when it becomes pleasantly subacid; quality good to very good if properly ripened.

'Chickasaw' produced the highest numerical yields in all comparison replicated trials, although yields were usually statistically similar to 'Shawnee' in most comparisons and 'Kiowa' in two of four comparisons. Fruit weight of 'Chickasaw' was greater than 'Choctaw' and 'Shawnee' in all but one comparison, and similar to that of 'Kiowa' in Fayetteville. 'Chickasaw' maintains very good fruit weight over its harvest season. 'Chickasaw' has excellent flower and fruit fertility and full drupelet set. 'Chickasaw' bloomed 1 to 3 days later than 'Choctaw' and on average 4 days before 'Shawnee' and 3 days before 'Kiowa'. First harvest date for 'Chickasaw' averaged 1O days later than 'Choctaw' and 3 days later than 'Shawnee' and 'Kiowa'. Average length of fruiting period for 'Chickasaw' was 40 days compared to 32 days for 'Choctaw', 43 days for 'Kiowa' and 38 days for 'Shawnee'. Fruit of 'Chickasaw' are long, cylindrical and slightly flattened in shape and very attractive with a glossy, black finish. Primary fruit diameter is 2.6 cm and berry length averages 4.1 cm. Average fruit weight of primary fruit in 1998 was 11.4 g, secondary 11.0 g, and tertiary, 10.7 g, reflecting a consistently large fruit size among these locations on the inflorescence, Fruits per inflorescence averaged 6 with a range of 4 to 19/inflorescence. Fruit firmness was higher for 'Chickasaw' than 'Shawnee' or 'Choctaw' but comparable to 'Kiowa'. Soluble solids concentration of 'Chickasaw' averaged 9.6% over eight years. Flavor of 'Chickasaw' was rated higher than 'Kiowa' and 'Shawnee' but lower than 'Choctaw'. 'Chickasaw' experienced more drupelet reddening than 'Shawnee' during fruit storage. Seeds of 'Chickasaw' were similar in weight to 'Shawnee' but heavier than 'Choctaw. Canes of 'Chickasaw' are thorny and have a thorn density similar to 'Shawnee' but less than that of 'Kiowa'. 'Chickasaw' was rated similar to 'Choctaw' in cane erectness, more erect than 'Kiowa' and slightly less erect than 'Shawnee'. 'Chickasaw' can be grown in a hedgerow without trellis support, with primocanes tipped at 1.1 m to control primocane length and encourage lateral branching. Vigor and health of 'Chickasaw' were rated high, similar to 'Shawnee' and higher than 'Choctaw' and 'Kiowa'. ). Ratings for winter injury for 'Chickasaw' have been comparable to 'Shawnee' and 'Kiowa' and slightly higher than 'Choctaw'. 'Chickasaw' is moderately resistant to anthracnose, and the only fruit anthracnose observed was in 1997 on early-ripening berries. No orange rust [Gymnoconia nitens (Shwein.) F. Kern and H.W. Thurston] has been observed on 'Chickasaw' in any plantings. Reaction of 'Chickasaw' to rosette/double blossom [Cercosporella rubi (Wint.) Plakidas] has not been determined. Slight evidence of infections (some leaf curling) of powdery mildew [Sphaerotheca macularis (Wallr. :Fr.) Lind] were observed in 1993 and 1997 but no damage to the plants (defoliation, loss of leaf health) was noted.

The next year, 1894, he called it a blackberry-raspberry hybrid and named it 'Humbolt'. In 1909 it was sold to John Lewis Childs, who rechristened it 'Phenomenal', the name it bore ever afterwards. A newspaper clipping in Burbank's scrapbook states that it was introduced by the California Carnation Company of Loomis, California as one of Burbank's "New Offerings for 1905". It is a second-generation hybrid from crossing the California wild dewberry with the 'Cuthbert' raspberry and was regarded by Burbank as a new species. It bears a marked resemblance to the 'Loganberry', but is considered by growers as superior to that variety. 'Phenomenal' is still found in the markets of California - W. L. Howard, 1945 ----------- The Phenomenal berry, sometimes known as 'Burbank's Logan', was selected by Luther Burbank in California from the second generation of a cross between 'Aughinbaugh' blackberry and 'Cuthbert' raspberry. It was introduced in 1905 and reached England about 1910. Although it is similar to the 'Loganberry', its fruit are larger, slightly lighter in color and its advocates considered it sweeter, richer, and more distinctive in flavor. But it did not compete successfully with 'Loganberry' in commerce. in a trial in East Malling from 1936 to 1939 it was inferior to the 'Loganberry' for yield but superior to it for fruit size and resistance to cane spot. There was no difference between the two forms in canning quality, though the larger size and better appearance of the 'Phenomenal' berries made them more suitable for some purposes. Like the 'Loganberry', the 'Phenomenal' is a hexaploid. Its chromosome behavior at meiosis is essentially regular, usually with 21 bivalents. Jennings 1988. | 1508012 | PI 618478 |

The seedlings first lightly bore fruit during the summer of 1986. The subject cultivar was selected for its thornless cane, vigorous, traling vines, high berry productivity, and large, firm black fruit of high quality. During 1987, the above described cultivar was propagated asexually both by cane layering and cane cuttings for the purpose of further testing and evaluations by research horticulturists at Oregon State University's Department of Horticulture. The researchers found the cultivar to have outstanding potential.In 1989 Oregon State University's North Willamette Agricultural Experiment Station at Aurora, Oreg., included samples of the cultivar in their blackberry test plots. Test at other locations show that the cultivar may adapt to other areas of the Pacific Northwest outside of Northwestern Oregon.During all asexual multiplication, the characteristics of the original plant have been maintained and no aberrant phenotypes have appeared.Plants of the cultivar are highly vigorous and develop large diameter canes. Although nominally thornless, the 3 lower 12 -to 18-inch bases of the canes do contain small, soft incipient type spines similar to those found on raspberry canes. These small spines tend to disappear completely from the canes at a point about 12 to 18 inches above the ground level. The plants are genetically thornless, having genes for thornlessness derived from its distant "Austin Thornless" ancestor. Plants are moderately resistant to blackberry leaf and cane spot (Septoria rubi) which is a major cause of blighted foliage on a number of other Northwest adapted blackberry cultivarsFruit of the new cultivar ripens in mid-July about the same time as "Marion," a leading Northwest standard cultivar. The harvest period is about 20 days duration. The plants have never suffered from spring frosts and the canes have survived winter temperatures of 5* F. The fruit varies in shape from bluntly cone shaped to bluntly pointed cylindrical. The length of the fruit usually exceeds its diameter by about 40%. Fruit clusters are medium large and borne on long stout stems which facilitate easy picking. Flower fertility is high and -fruit drupelets tend to fill out the berries completely.

Similar in vigor to 'Marion' but more tolerant of environmental stress. Canes are more tolerant than 'Marion' and less so than 'Kotata'. Canes are more resistant to cane and leaf spot (Septoria rubi Westend) than 'Marion'; however, cane botrytis (Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr.) has been observed. No symptoms of yellow rust [Kuehneola uredinis (Link) Arth.] infection and in 1997 no symptoms of the pathogen causing drupelets of 'Kotata' and 'Marion' to turn brown and dry. Siskiyou has shown less winter injury to flower buds and canes than 'Marion'. Siskiyou produces very large, firm, and flavorful berries, early in the blackberry season. Siskiyou averaged 7.8 grams/fruit, larger than 'Kotata' (5.1 grams) or 'Marion' (5.1 grams), but less than 'Black Butte' (9.0 grams). Fresh berries are similar to 'Marion' in color but hold their color better under refrigerations. Siskiyou is firmer than 'Kotata' and 'Black Butte', and much firmer than 'Marion'. The fruit are uniformly shaped and have a large number of drupelets per fruit. Siskiyou tends to fruit on tertiary or late-season flowers that have the tip of the fruit poorly set. Fresh and processed fruit of Siskiyou have excellent flavor; they are not as intense and aromatic as 'Marion' and 'Olallie' but are more similar to 'Kotata'. When tested as a processed product, Siskiyou has been rated very good but not as outstanding as 'Marion'. Siskiyou is one of the earliest ripening trailing cultivars, ripening before 'Kotata' and with 'Black Butte'. Yields of Siskiyou have been similar to 'Kotata', less than 'Marion' and greater than 'Black Butte'. Siskiyou has tested negative for tomato ringspot, raspberry bushy dwarf, and tobacco streak viruses by ELISA and has indexed negative on grafting to R. occidentalis.

I did not then have any to send but do now and hope they do not freeze enroute!I am also enclosing plant of a diploid wild blackberry we call Hillquist, after a Mrs. L. G. Hillquist of Ashland, Virginia, who sent plants here way back in 1949. This clone is unique in that, here in Geneva at least, it exhibits a rudimentary degree of primocane-fruiting- the only blackberry, of any ploidy, we know of which possesses the fallbearing character. This characteristic makes Hillquist potentially important germplasm for blackberry breeding. If the fallbearing character could be transferred into our upright tetraploid lines then lack of hardiness would become much less of a problem for cold areas. The virus status of both clones is unknown. Our virus-indexing man here tells me it is very difficult to get symptoms on quinoa out of blackberries for some reason. Perhaps ELISA might do the trick.Good luck with these plants. If there are any other clones you seek that we might have, let me know.Sincerely,Jack ReichResearch Support Specialist Named for L. G.

The cross was grown at Corvallis, Oregon, and the selection was made in 1939The Chehalem ripens from 5 to 15 days after the Boysen, almost to the beginning of the season for the Evergreen blackberry. It has a bright black color, that makes a very attractive frozen product, and is the characteristic most desired by packers of frozen fruit. The berries are somewhat smaller and longer than Logan and are of high flavor. The drupelets and seeds are small, about the size of the native blackberries, It is firm enough to keep its shape after freezing. The plant is vigorous, but the trailing canes are easily handled, and it propagates very readily by tips of the canes. It is a very productive variety,Tests so far have shown that the Chehalem is adapted to the Willimette Valley of Oregon, particularly the northern part. Its adaptability to other areas has not been definitely determined. It is suggested for trial in areas West of the Cascade mountains in Oregon and Washington where blackberries are grown for freezing.

| 98 | PI 618384 | 'Eldorado' | Rubus hybr. | Ohio, United States | COR |  | Not Available | 1984 | DEVELOPED | 1880 | | | | | Cultivar | This sort has several notable virtues which made it for many years a standard blackberry. It is still much prized for home and local markets in most of the blackberry regions of eastern America. The qualities which commend it are great hardiness and great immunity from the orange-rust which seldom attacks it. The fruits are large, handsome in appearance, and exceptionally high in quality. Eldorado is usually considered the first main crop variety to ripen. This variety originated about 1880 as a chance seedling near the village of Eldorado, Ohio. In 1899 the variety was added to the fruit list of the American Pomological Society. Plants tall, vigorous, upright-spreading, hardy, productive, healthy, seldom attacked by orange-rust; canes obtusely furrowed, glossy, greenish red becoming dark red at maturity, glabrous, with small, almost sessile glands; prickles long, slender, numerous, reddish at the base; leaflets usually 5, oval, dull, somewhat smooth, pubescent, with serrate margins; petiole reddish, slender, nearly glabrous, with few small glands. Flowers self-fertile, early, in loose, leafy clusters; petals white, oblong; pedicels long, slender, glandular. Fruit early midseason, ripening period long; large, roundish to slightly elongated, jet black; drupelets large, round, few; core soft; flesh juicy, firm, sweet, rich, pleasantly flavored; quality good to very good.

It is named for the late John W. (Jack) Hull, formerly of the University of Maryland. the University of Arkansas, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who spent most of his life breeding blackberries and raspberries. 'Hull Thornless' is the fifth in a series of tetraploid, genetically thornless blackberry hybrids developed by the USDA and cooperating agencies (4). It is adapted principally to USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6-8.Origin'Hull Thornless'. tested as SIUS 68-6-6. originated from a cross made in 1968 by Jack Hull of SIUS 47 x by 'Thornfree' (Fig. 1) and selected by him in 1972 at Carbondale, Illinois. This cross was a repeat of an earlier cross which yielded the promising selections SIUS 64-21-8 ('Dirksen Thornless') and SIUS 64-21-11 ('Black Satin'). Since being selected, 'Hull Thornless' has been tested principally in Maryland and Ohio.Description and performance'Hull Thornless' plants are multistemmed with biennial thornless, vigorous canes. They are essentially crown-forming, and semi-erect after the first year in the field. 'Hull Thornless' is winter-hardy south of a line from Urbana, Ill., to central Ohio, to western Maryland, southern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey (Zone 6 on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.) In a greenhouse forcing trial at Beltsville, 'Hull Thornless' needed 750 consecutive hours under 7.2'C to satisfy its chilling requirement. Under conditions of high fertility. and good moisture, plants should be set at 1.8 to 3 m apart and trained onto a 2- or 3-wire trellis. Mature cane bases can be 5 cm in diameter, are self-supporting, and can grow to 4-5 m in a year. Canes are usually topped at 2 meters and lateral shoots are forced for fruiting the following year.'Hull Thornless' is similar to 'Black Satin' in yield and fruit size (Table 1).The thornless blackberries yield very well at an early age (third year) and the yield rankings of the several cultivars at the same age do not vary appreciably with soil difference (compare trial 1 and trial 2 at age 3 years). 'Hull Thornless* and 'Black Satin' are usually the heaviest yielding and the largest fruited of the 5 thornless cultivars, ranging from 8 to 3 g/berry over the harvest season.'Hull Thornless'. on a heavy soil at Beltsville, bloomed 8-9 days later than 'Dirksen Thornless' and 'Black Satin', but it ripened between 'Dirksen Thornless' and 'Black Satin'. On a light soil, 'Hull Thornless' ripened ahead of 'Dirksen Thornless' and 'Black Satin'. Fully ripe fruit of 'Hull Thornless' is firmer, sweeter, colors better and is tougher than 'Black Satin'. 'Hull Thornless' fruit, like that of the other named cultivars, makes a superior jelly or baked product.The superior yielding ability of *Hull Thornless' appears to result from a combination of high number of berries/fruiting lateral and large fruit size, whereas that of 'Black Satin' is attributed to many fruiting laterals/ cane and large fruit size. 'Hull Thornless' and 'Black Satin' do not differ in number or length of bearing canes per plant. The high vigor of 'Hull Thornless' and 'Black Satin' contributes to continued productivity with increasing plant age. 'Dirksen Thornless . , which has lower plant vigor, shows declining yield with advancing plant age. 'Hull Thornless' plants can be well propagated by tip layering, by rooting of I -node softwood stem cuttings (6), or by micropropagation techniques (2).

It has a bright black color, that makes a very attractive frozen product, and is the characteristic most desired by packers of frozen fruit. The berries are somewhat smaller and longer than Logan and are of high flavor. The drupelets and seeds are small, about the size of the native blackberries, It is firm enough to keep its shape after freezing. The plant is vigorous, but the trailing canes are easily handled, and it propagates very readily by tips of the canes. It is a very productive variety,Tests so far have shown that the Chehalem is adapted to the Willimette Valley of Oregon, particularly the northern part. Its adaptability to other areas has not been definitely determined. It is suggested for trial in areas West of the Cascade mountains in Oregon and Washington where blackberries are grown for freezing.

Perhaps it is not too much to say that it is still the best known and most widely grown of all dewberries, if the loganberry, here included with dewberries, be excepted. At the same time it is probable that it is past its prime in popular favor and that it is being superseded by other sorts. This dewberry came to its high estate in the small fruit culture. of the country because the plants grew splendidly on a great diversity of soils and in a range of latitudes from the coldest to the warmest in which, this fruit can be grown *L 'o plants have the faults of being susceptible to anthracn-ose, and of producing many double blossoms of which' 1 are sterile. The fruits are large, jet black, very handsome, not of the highest quality, and are often variable in size. To have them at their best they must be permitted to become fully mature before picking. Unfortunately several other varieties are commonly substituted by nurserymen for Lucretia, so that many growers who think they have it do not have it. The American Pomological Society added Lucretia to its list of recommended fruits in 1889. (For a fuller discussion of Lucretia, see page 197.) Plants vigorous, trailing, require protection in the winter, almost immune to orange-rust, susceptible to anthracnose and double-blossom especially in the South, very productive; canes slender, cylindrical, long, numerous, dull green mingled with brown, pubescent, eglandular; prickles small, slender, numerous, greenish; leaflets 3-5, sometimes 7, small, oval, dull, attractive, dark green, smooth, pubescent, with dentate margins; petiole slender. Flowers early, self-fertile, large, few, in short, open, leafy, prickly clusters; petals white, oblong; pedicels very long, slender, eglandular; calyx eglandular. Fruit early; large although variable in size, long-cylindrical, tapering slightly, jet black; drupelets large, round, with good coherence; core soft; flesh juicy, firm, pleasantly sprightly when fully ripe, otherwise rather tart, rich; quality very good.
