bearing tree for America. Suitable for all sections of this coun- 
try. Pruit larger than blackberries and of delicious flavor. 
This valuable fruit and ornamental tree was brought to this 
country from Western Russia by the Mennonilet. The tree is 
a very rapid grower. It grows to be very large, often reach- 
ing the heiglit of fifty feet, and from three to five feet in diame- 
ter, and is perfectly hardy. It commences to bear when only 
two years old, and is a prolific bearer, the fruit being 
larger than the average blackberry. The fruit has a fine, 
aromatic flavor and sub-acid, aweet taste, and is used 
for dessert as we tise blackberries or raspberries. A beauti- 
ful quick growing tree for the lawn, while the fruit is 
valuable for table use. In all our experience we have found 
no fruit so admirably adapted to all parts of the West and 
Northwest. Mail size, I5c each, 3 for 30c, 6 for 50c, post-
