small currants, but is of richer taste, 
and literally covers the twigs and 
branches. If not gathered it will re- 
main on the plants through the win- 
ter. Esteemed for pies, tarts, pre- 
serves, jellies, etc. The plants are verv hardy and 
easily cultivated, and bear abundant crops of fruit 
every year. 20 cts. each, 6 for $ 1 . 
Improved Dwarf Juneberry. A good substitute 
for the large or swamp huckleberry or whortle- 
berry, which it resembles in appearance and Quality. 
DWARF JUSEBERRY. 
WEIGELA. 
The fruit is borne in clusters, and is reddish-purple 
in color, changing to bluish black. In flavor it is a 
mild, rich subacid ; excellent as a dessert fruit or 
canned. The bushes are extremely hardy, enduring 
the cold of the far north and the heat of summer with- 
out injury. When this fruit becomes better known 
to the public it will be very popular. Already the 
berries sell at a high price among appreciative 
buyers. They are much larger and better-flavored 
than the wild Juneberries, which grow upon trees 
and are hard to gather. 15 cts. ; 75 cts. per doz., 
$6 per 100. 
HIGH-BUSH CRANBERRY.

ble cranberries, and are esteemed by many ; they hang 
until destroyed bv frost. The plant is like the snow- 
ball in wood and foliage. It is very hardy and orna- 
mental in habit, especially when covered with its 
thick clusters of large, bright red berries. The 
berries are rich, tart and juicy in flavor. 20 cts.,
