 taking- tlie cream of the market for high prices, having sold at whole-

 clear dark red, covered with many minute yellow dots, a beauty indeed.

 for SI. 15; larger trees, by exprc-s, 75c. each. 



Paragon. The largest, latest and best quality of the Japan plums. 

 The Paragon is entirely distinct from any other variety. It was ob- 

 tained from .Japan with a number of otlier varieties for testing, and 

 seems to have been an accidental mixture or sport, different from and 

 superior to any other varieties tested with it, especially in time of ripen- 

 ing ; exceedingly high flavor and large size. It is a beautiful bright red, 

 overlying a yellow skin. Flesh is fine grained, firm and delicious ; 

 slightly vinous, with a pleasant musky aroma. An excellent shipper, 

 and believed to be the best all-round plum yet brought to notice. By 

 mail or express, 75c. each ; 2 for $1.25. 



Abundance. The best known of all the Japan plums and planted 

 by the thousand for profit. Three bushels of fine fruit have been 

 gathered from a 3-year-old Abundance Plum. It is of excellent quality, 

 bright red and yellow; flesh sweet, juicy and rich. By mail, 25c.; 5 for 

 $1.00; bv express, 40c. each ; 3 for $1.00.

THE JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 



The canes of this interesting plant ai-e large, robusi; and 

 entirely hardy here ; they are thickly covered with purp- 

 lish red hairs, which extend along the stem to the ex- 

 tremity. The leaves are large, tough, dark green above and 

 silvery gray beneath. The berries are of medium size as 

 compared with our raspberries, but of a lieautiful translu- 

 cent appearance, running through all the shades of amber to 

 crimson as they ripen. In quality it is good, with a rich 

 and sprightly flavor, but decidedly brisk sub-acid. Sea- 

 son of ripening, early in July. Price, mail or express, 

 strong, well-rooted plants, 15c. each ; $1.50 per dozen. 



NEW HARDY ORANGE. 



This is the most hardy of the orange family, and will 

 stand our northern climate with little or no protection, and 

 is also desirable for pot culture. In the ))arks of both New 

 York and Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantlv, and bloom- 

 ing and fruiting profusely. It is a dwarf, of a "low svmmet- 

 iical growth, with beautiful trifoliate, glossv green'leavcs, 

 and abundance of large, white, sweet-scented blossoms, 

 larger and finer than any other variety of orange blossoms, 

 and borne almost continually. The fruit is small, bright 

 orange red in color, having a peculiar flavor, of no value fdr 

 eating, though for refreshing drink it is equal to liuie juice 

 or lemonade. Strong, youngtiirifty trees, by mailorexpress 

 2oc. each; 5 for $1.00; doz., $2.(0.
