THE EL^EAGNUS OR GOUMI 

 BERRY 



The original Goumi berry, as im- 

 ported by myself some thirty-five 

 years ago from Japan, was a very 

 astringent fruit, and with a very thorny 

 stem. Through selective breeding we 

 have had good success in eliminating 

 the thorns and in improving the fruit. 

 This is one of my thornless varieties. 

 (About one-third life size.)
