ELJEAGNUS. 



-A beautiful shrub from Japan, belonging to the Olive family of plants. 



Elaeagnus longipes,- 



It grows to the height of from 

 five to six feet, making a well 

 branched bush of great beauty; 

 leaves longish - oval, bright 

 green above and silvery- white 

 beneath. The blossoms appear 

 in May, in great profusion. 

 The berries are ripe early in 

 July and are oval in shape, 

 like an olive, and about the 

 size shown in the illustration, 

 often much longer, bright scar- 

 let, very handsome. Like cran- 

 berries, the fruit requires cook- 

 ing, and may be used in the 

 same manner. It is produced 

 in great abundance. The bush 

 is entirely hardy and is free 

 from insect enemies. Its orna- 

 mental beauty is beyond dis- 

 pute. 



The true longipes is a dense, 

 bushy grower, which begins to 

 bear fruit when about two 

 years old and only two feet 

 high. "With this has been con- 

 fused another variety, umbellatus, which is a vigorous growing, willowy shrub that often grows to 

 the height of ten feet without bearing fruit. The true longipes is the variety we offer. 1 yr., doz.. $1.00; 

 100. $6.00. (If by mail add 10c. per dozen, 50c. per 100). Strong, 2 yrs., trans., doz., $1.50; 100, $9.00.
