Description
Summary:Discussion about the owners of the house with the blackcurrants, Winston Jacobs' cousin's son. The family have moved out west. Beyond Bridget's mother's house are blueberries, "crackers" and "partridgeberrries". It is too late for "bakeapples". Last year the blackcurrants did not bloom. Crackerberry or cracker is the local name for the bunchberry, a dogwood (Cornus Canadensis). The bakeapple is the cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus). The partridgeberry is the mountain cranberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) or cowberry. (Waghorne, 1888)
