THE TRIFOLIATE ORANGE. 



A NEW HARDY ORANGE. (UTRUS TRIFOLIATAJ. 



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 jKjt culture. In tlie parks of Ijotli New 

 York and Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantly, and bloom- 

 ing and fruiting profusely. Think of it, friends, you can 

 have an orange tree growing, blooming and fruiting on your 

 lawn or yard. It is a dwarf, of a low, symmetrical growth, 

 with beautiful trifoliate, glossy green leaves, 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 for eating, though for 

 refre-shing drink it is equal to lime juice or lemonade. It 

 blooms very profusely in spring and early summer, but after 

 the fruit begins to form, blossoms are not plentiful. We pre- 

 dict for this tree a great future. Strong, young, thrifty trees, 

 by mail or express, 25c. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



MULBERRIES.

 lawn tree, but produces delicious berries, beginning to fruit

The foliage of mulberries is valuable for silkworms, 

 while the fruit makes excellent chicken feed as well as a fine 

 table dessert. The late Henry "Ward Beecher said he regarded 

 it as an indispensable addition to every fruit garden, and 

 that he would rather have a Downing jNIulben-j' tree than a 

 strawberry bed.
