it for several reasons, though t as it 
has been advertised so extensively, 
and we have so many inquiries 
for it we have concluded to let it 
go, and will say as a novelty it is 
all that has been claimed for it. , 
There have been few novelties 
introduced to this country that are 
more interesting or beautiful in 
their way than the Japanese Rasp- 
berry, brought out recently under 
the name of Wineberry. It origi- 
nated from seed sent home by Prof. 
• Georgeson, late of the Imperial 
Co liege 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, 
tough, dark-green above and sil- 
very grey beneath. Each berry 
is at first tightly enveloped by the 
large calyx, forming a sort of burr, 
which is also covered with purplish 
red hairs so thickly as to present 
the appearance of a moss rosebud. 
These gradually open and turn 
back, exposing the fruit in all its 
beauty. The berries are of medium 
size as compared with our rasp- 
berries, but of a beautiful, translu- 
cent appearance, running through 
all the shades of amber to crimson 
as they ripen. There is a freshness 
and brilliancy about them impos- 
sible to describe, and we know 
nothing in the way of raspberries 
so attractive. A bush in full fruiting 
is a sight not readily to be forgot- 
ten, and a decided ornament to the 
garden. In quality it is good, with 
a rich and sprightly flavor, but 
decidedly brisk sub-acid. When 
cooked it is simply grand, surpass- 
ing by far, when canned, the 
huckleberry and all other small 
fruits. Season of ripening, early in 
Tulv. fS? Der aoz.
