英语词汇loganberry的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

loganberry. California Judge James Harvey Logan (1841– 1921), who had been a Missouri schoolteacher before working his way west as the driver of an ox team, developed the logan- berry in his experimental home orchard at Santa Cruz. Logan, formerly Santa Cruz district attorney, was serving on the supe- rior court bench in 1880 when he raised the new berry from seed, breeding several generations of plants to do so. Though a respected amateur horticulturist, he never adequately explained how the berry was developed. One account claims that the lo- ganberry originated “from self-grown seeds of the Aughin- baugh [a wild blackberry], the other parent supposed to be a raspberry of the Red Antwerp type.” Several experts believe that it is a variety of the western dewberry, or a hybrid of that species, crossed with the red raspberry. The dispute may never be resolved, but experiments in England have produced a plant similar to the loganberry by crossing certain blackberries and red raspberries. In any case, there is no doubt that the purplish- red loganberry is shaped like a blackberry, colored like a rasp- berry, and combines the flavor of both—or that it was first grown by Judge Logan and named for him. Its scientific name is Rubus loganbuccus and the trailing blackberry-like plant is grown commercially in large quantities, especially in Califor- nia, Oregon, Washington, and other places having fairly mild winters.
