| I have been reading a book I borrowed from the library, "Ten Acres Enough", and it praises these berries.
The book was written in the 1800's, so I guess that qualifies them as heirlooms. I wondered if anyone had any knowledge of them or suggestions for sources should I want to aquire some. Thanks. |

| Finding a fair amount of information about Red Antwerp Raspberries but not about how to get them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loganberry Something tells me this is a lost variety because every reference to it is from the 1880's. Lawton Blackberries are commercially available. I'm sure a Google search will yield a place you can order cuttings from. |

| I miss living in PA. Black Raspberries (not blackberries) would probably die or produce bitter berries here. We had a wild patch up there. Mmmmmmmmm!!! |
