MAY'S STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 
A FRUIT OF Japanese oriKiii and one deserving of a closer acquaintance and 
wider popularity. The berries are bright scarlet, much larger than 
strawberries, and though of somewhat similar shape rather partake of the 
character of raspberries in that the seeds arc covered by flesh as in the 
latter. Ealing the berry raw. it is rather dry and of a peculiar pungent 
flavor, but for jelly it develops more juice than either the strawberry or 
raspberry, and has a most delicious flavor peculiar to itself. The bush is 
low growing, from l8 inches to 2 feet in height, entirely hardy and imper- 
vious alike to heat and drought. Each lOc, 4 for 35c., by mail, postpaid.
