ROCKY MOUNT'S! DWARF CHERRY . 
A fruit for all people and all sections. 
Certainly the greatest novelty in the fruit 
line ever introduced. The fruit is a rich 
red and changes to almost black when 
ripe, and in size averages somewhat larger 
than the English Morello; season of ripen- 
ing being after all others are gone. In 
flavor it is akin to the sweet cherries, and, 
when fully ripe, for preserves or to eat 
out of hand it has no equal in the line of 
pitted fruits, and is conceded superior to 
any fruit grown in this section. It has 
the best system of roots of any shrub or 
tree we have ever planted, which accounts 
for the wonderful productiveness of 
plants at such an early age. It bears ev- 
ery year, and is as prolific as a currant 
bush, 16 quarts having been pieked from 
a three year old tree. Grows to a height 
of four feet, and has never been affected 
by insects, black knot or other disease.

IMP. OWARF JUNERERRY. 
This fruit is a native of Alaska, and 
therefore of the most iron-clad hardiness. 
It is a quick grower, forming dense 
clumps of bushes which seldom grow 
higher than a man's head, though they 
bloom and bear heavily when only one or 
two feet in height. The berries are the 
size of ordinary cherries, being green in 
an unripe state, changing to bright scarlet, 
and. when' fully ripe, to a dark purple 
blue; and as the three colors hang in clus- 
ters upon a bush they present a most 
charming and appetizing sight. After the 
berry is fully ripe it will keep on the 
bush in perfect condition for two or three 
weeks without decaying or dropping. It 
is exceedingly sweet and has a peculiarly 
rich and luscious flavor. It is the most 
charming fruit to eat raw from the hand 
we have ever tasted. Aside from its val- 
ue as a fruit it is one of the most showy 
flowering shrubs, as it blooms very early 
in the spring — before leaves start — and 
every stem and branch of the bush is a 
solid wreath of delicate feathery white- 
ness, so numerous are the flowers, loceach, 2 for 25c, 10 for $1.00.
