> in profusion handsome bright red berries, which make

This fruit has been grown and highly prized in an 
» amateur way for a number of years; but not untilthe 
past season hasits great value asa garden or market 
= fruit been recognized. We anticipate for this rareand 
valuable addition to our list of choice fruits, an im- 
mense demand as soon asits great merits become known 
to the public, Below we give extracts from William 
Falconer in the Rural New Yorker: 
“The Shrub ELEAGNUS LONGIPES is oneof 
my special favorites. I have grown it for years, and 
the longer I know it the better I likeit. It is a native 
of Japan, and belongs to the Olive family of plants, 
and is perfectly hardy. Asa garden shrub it grows to 
a height of five feet or more, is bushy and broad, and 
thrifty plants begin to fruit when two to three years 
old. The leaves are oval, oblong green above, silvery 
beneath, and last in good condition all Summer long, 
and are never disfigured by insect vermin. The flowers 
are small, silvery yellow and borne in great abundance 
and in full bloom about the 6th to 10th of May. The 
fruit is oval, very fleshy and juicy, bright red and 
drooping on slender pedicles on the underside of the 
twigs, and borne inimmense profusion. It is ripe about 
July 4th to 10th. We use the fruit for sauce as one 
would cranberries, and a delicious sauce it makes, es- 
pecially for children; indeed I like it so well that I 
have planted it in our fruit garden asa standard crop 
as one would currants.” Price, by mail or express, 
50 cents each; 3 for $1.00.
