Improved Dwarf Juneberry. ™^al^i* S 



Alaska, and therefore of the most iron-clad hardiness. It is 

 a quick grower, forming dense clumps of bushes which bloom 

 and bear heavily when only one or two feet in height. The 

 b_erries are the size of ordinary cherries, being green in an un- 

 ripe state, changing to bright scarlet, and, when fully ripe, to 

 a dark purple blue, and as the three colors hang in clusters 

 upon a bush they present a most charming and appetizing 

 sight. After the berry is fullj- ripe it will keep on the bush in 

 perfect condition for two or three weeks ,without decaying, or 

 dropping. It is exceedingly sweet arid has a peculiarly rich 

 and luscious flavor. Aside from its value as a fruit it is one 

 of the most showy flowering ^hrubs, as it blooms very earlv 

 in the spring— before leaves start — and everv stem and branch 

 of the bush is a solid wreath of delicate feathery whiteness, so 

 numerous are the flowers. 15c each, $1.50 per doz. postpaid
