ELEAGNUS LONGIPES. DWARF JUNEBERRY. 
ELEAGNUS EONGIPES. 
This new and valuable acquisition, a native of Japan, is one of our most promising new fruits, and we hiehlv 
recommend it for more general planting. It is worthy a place in both fruit and ornamental collections, as its 
beautiful shape as a shrub, with its dark green foliage, makes it a very conspicuous sight, especially when loaded 
with.its fruit ; it is also very attractive when in bloom in May, the flowers being a beautiful lemon-yellow color.

hardy and free from insects and disease, and grows to the height of about six feet. It is seldom we have to offer 
a plant which combines valuable fruiting qualifications with so ornamental a character. The plant will be prized 
as among the many good things which have come from Japan. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.

THE JAPANESE 
WINEBERRY. 
There have been few novelties intro- 
duced to this country that are more in- 
teresting or beautiful in their way than 
the Japanese Raspberry, brought out re- 
cently under the name of Wineberry. It 
originated from seed sent home by Prof. 
Georgeson, late of the Imperial College of 
Agriculture, Tokio, Japan, and gathered 
by him from a plant growing in a wild 
state on the mountains of that country. 
The canes of this interesting plant are 
large, robust and entirely hardy here ; 
they are thickly covered with purplish red 
hairs, which extend along the stem to the 
extremity. The leaves are large, large, 
tough, dark green above and silvery gray 
beneath. Each berry is at first tightly 
enveloped by the large calyx, forming a 
sort of bur, which is also covered with pur- 
plish red hairs. These gradually open 
and turn back, exposing the fruit in all its 
beauty. In quality good, with a rich and 
sprightly flavor, but decidedly brisk sub- 
acid. When cooked it is simply grand, 
surpassing by far, when canned, the huck- 
leberry and all other small fruits now in 
cultivation. Season of ripening, early in 
July. 50 ets. per doz., $i per ioo.
