BUFFALO BERRY. 



An iron-clad fruit for the frozen Xorth and the bm'ning South. A fruit for everybody and everywhere a 



great novelty. It is a tree-like shrub attaining a height of ten feet when 

 well grown, of compact symmetrical habit. Leaves numerous and 

 silvery- white; an ornament in any yard for its foliage alone, but when 

 laden with its dense, rich clusters of crimson f ruit from early su mm er, 

 through the fall and entire winter, it is a sight to be remembered with 

 pleasure. The fruit is round, smooth and glossy, resembling in size, 

 form and color, the cultivated red currant. Our illustration shows a 

 cluster, natural size. The fruit forms in clusters to the very tips of the 

 branches. It is a constant and prolific bearer, entirely hardy, having 

 endured 25 degrees below zero. Before being touched by frost it is very 

 acid: freezing subdues it, until it becomes so rich and palatable that as a 

 dessert fruit in midwinter it is excellent, while for jellies it is claimed by 

 epicures to equal the famous Guava. It is a near relative to Eleagnus 

 Longipes, and as regards quahty. the Rural New Yorker says: " Un- 

 questionably the Shepherdia is well worthy of cultivation for its fruit 

 alone, which is superior to Eleagnus." Everybody who has a garden 

 should try this interesting fruit. Selected plants, ea.. 10c; 3 for 25c: 

 doz., 75c: 100. 83.50 (by mail): $3.00 by express. 



CRANBERRIES. 



Sent postpaid at 100 rates; 50c. per 1.000 additional for postage. 

 Culture. Prepare the soil, if wet and spongy, by draining away the surplus 

 water to ten or twelve inches below the surf ace : remove the top soil, make 

 level and cover with two or three inches of sand. Plant two feet apart each 

 way (requiring 10, 000 slips per acre) with dibbles, leaving a top of one to one 

 and a half inches above ground. The slips root readily, even when apparent- 

 ly dead from drying: if placed in water twelve to twenty-four hours, they 

 will revive and grow. Flood the plants at approach of winter, keeping them 

 covered until after freezing weather in spring.
