MYRICA RUBRA— New Japanese Fruit. 



This evergreen fruit-bearing tree is indi- 

 genous to Japan. It is a native of the 

 southern parts, attains a height of forty 

 to fifty feet. The foliage, which is ever- 

 green, resembles the magnolias, and is of 

 a firm, leathery texture. The fruit 

 blossom appears early in spring, and the 

 fruit ripens during "the month of July. 

 It resembles in shape a firm blackberry, 

 an inch long, by three-fourths of an inch 

 in diameter. It contains a single seed- 

 stone of light weight. There are two 

 varieties of this fruit. The one is a dark 

 red, almost black, the other a light rose, 

 which is superior even in flavor to the 

 dark. The fruit is highly flavored, vin- 

 ous and sweet, and answers all purposes 

 our blackberry is put to. It is delicious 

 as a dessert fruit, makes a fine preserve, 

 jelly or jam. The juice extracted from 

 it may be taken as a refreshing beverage 

 in its fresh state, and after being allowed 

 to ferment produces a fine wine 50

" The fruit is oval, five-eighths of an inch or 

 more in diameter, very fleshy and juicy ; 

 bright red and drooping on slender pedi- 

 cels on the under side of the twigs, and 

 borne in immense profusion. Ripe 4th 

 to 10th July. "We use for sauce as one 

 would cranberries, and a delicious sauce 

 it makes, especially for children. In- 

 deed, I like it so well that I have planted 

 it in our fruit garden as a standard 

 crop, as one would currants. Native of 

 Japan."— W. Falconer $ 25 $2 50$
