Berry delicious!

The other day- we were talking with Nancy and she challenged us to name 12 different types of berries.

I think it was 12- anyway it was hard for the four of us to actually name 12....

Today when I was perusing an 1916 children's book titled: "The Junior Instructor, Volume 2" (initially purchased to alter, but will have to just scan a lot of it as it's soooo cute!) I ran across the subject: "How to Give A Party" and there were suggested contests!!

So... here's a Berry Contest for you to figure out!! Answers below!

1. What berry is a favorite flavoring?
2. What berry is red when it's green?
3. What berry is much used for a fabric, much loved by ladies?
4. What berry was made famous by Mark Twain?
5. What berry is found on the grass?
6. What is the most irritating berry?
7. What berry is used in stables?
8. What is the berry always in evidence at a great winter festival?
9. What is the oldest of all berries?
10. What berry always comes with the king of birds?
11. What is the most melancholy berry?
12. What berry is an indentation on the coast?
