The Hardy Russian Olive. 
Eleagnus Longipes. 
(See Cut.) Thi.s rare and valuable shrub was 
introduced several years since from Japan, and 
like other plants from the land of the Mikado is 
perfectly hardy, excecdiiiKlv ornamental on the 
lawn as well as valuable for the delicious fruit 
which It produces. Jt is one of nature's most 
happy combinations of the rare, the useful and 
the beautiful and a shrub that should be most 
widely disseminated. 
It forma a beautiful shrub of dwarf, compact 
growth, about 5 or 6 feet in height, with at- 
tractive foli.age bright green above and silverv 
white beneath. It blossoms very abundantly 
in May, the pale yellow flowers hanjfing in 
wreaths along the branches. These are followed 
by the brilliant scarlet berries, which are olive 
shaped, about the size oflarge currants, and ripen 
in July hanging on the plant along time before 
rotting or dropping. It has a small pit and 
an excellent flavor, being rich, juicv, sprightlv 
and more luscious that the cherry, and fine for 
preserves, jelly, etc. The bush is extremelv 
liardy, withstands drouth, heat and cold re- 
markably well and is destined to have a prom- 
inent place in all ornamental plants. In winter 
the reddish brown bark renders the plant ex- 
ceedingly attractive. 250 each, $2.50 per doz.

not as bcauti-ful as the other two", is recommend-

bright, clean, attractive foliage at all times 
which hangs on nearly all the year. It hears 
shearing to any extent and can be easily trained

grower's domain, will fill alongfelt want, not onlv with 
the commercial florist, who grows flowers for profit, but 
also with the amateur, who grows them for pleasure and 
the love he bearsthem. It wasintrodueed lastyear but 
on account of the excessive price placed upon it was not 
widely disseminated. At an enormousexpense we secur- 
ed several thousand strong, stock v plants, cn.-ibling us to 
offer It to our patrons at a very moderate price Do not 
be misled by seedsmen and others offering this variety at 
low prices, forin several cases we know ofMeteor which 
It resembles, but to which it is far superior, being sentin- 
stead. It is an cvcrblooming Hvbrid Tea, s.aid to be 
hardy in many localities in the North. It is a rapid 
vigorous grower, a very free bloomer, with a beautiful 
clean, healthy foliage at all times. The color is a deep' 
glowing crimson, the petals being covered with the rich' 
velvety bloom. It is very fragrant, resembling the 
H ybrid Fcrpetuals in this respect. The buds are of per- 
fect form and appearance, graduallv expanding into 
blossom.s of the largest size, which last a long time 
Planted in the open ground it in.-ikes a wonderful 
growth, and is covered profuselv throughout the 
season with its large fragrant blossoms. As a pot 
plant it is without a peer, as it formsacompact bushv 
plant, at all times clean and healthy arid in bud and 
bloom. As a cut flower the past season, it command- 
ed almost fabulous prices in New York and the large 
Eastern cities, while recent reports indicate an unpre- ' 
cedented demand for this flower wherever grown
