Miscellaneous Fruits 
27 
REID’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
BUFFALO BERRY 
The fruit resembles small currants, 
but is of richer taste, and literally 
covers the twigs and branches. If 
not gathered it will remain oil the 
plants through the winter. Esteemed 
for pies, tarts, preserves, jellies, etc. 
The plants are very hardy and easily 
cultivated, and bear abundant crops 
of fruit every year. As the male and 
female blossoms are borne on different 
plants, they should be planted in clus- 
ters of three or more, for best results, 
to cents each, $i per doz., $5 per 100. 
IMPROVED DWARF ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHERRY 
This is a shrub, which originally grew wild in the mountains. The fruit has been greatly improved by cul- 
tivation, and is claimed to be, when fully ripe, the best fruit of its season. The fruit is jet black when ripe, and 
in size averages somewhat larger than the English Morello. Its flavor is 
similar to the sweet Cherries. The introducer says : “ I could sell wagon 
loads of these Cherries at 10 cents per quart. I have kept two hundred of 
these trees, which I intend to sell to reliable parties who desire them for 
testing. The young trees I have are one year from seed. I have had them 
loaded down at two years of age from seed. They never failed to bear 
fruit every year; late frosts never affect them; the tree is entirely hardy ; 
it has endured 40 degrees below zero without injury; ripens when all 
others are gone ; the shrub would grace any lawn when in blossom ; the 
fruit is more easily pitted than other Cherries.” 
The merits of this fruit leave little to be desired, i-year, to cts. each, 
$1 per doz., #7 per too; 2-year, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Extra large size, 25 cts. each. 
IMPROVED DWARF JUNEBERRY 
A good substitute for the large or swamp huckleberry, or whortleberry, 
which it resembles in appearance and quality. The fruit is borne in clus- 
ters, and is reddish purple in color, changing to a 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 without injury. When this fruit becomes better known 
to the public it will be very popular. It is much larger and better flavored 
than the wild Juneberries. 10 cts. each, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100. 
A NEW HARDY ORANGE 
This is the most hardy of the Orange family, and will stand our north- 
ern climate with little or no protection, being also desirable for pot cul- 
ture. In the parks of both New York and Philadelphia it grows luxuriantly, 
Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry. and blooms and fruits profusely. You can have an Orange tree growing, 
blooming and fruiting in your lawn or yard. It is dwarf, of low, sym- 
metrical growth, with beautiful trifoliate, glossy green leaves 
and many large, white sweet-scented blossoms, finer than 
any other variety of Orange blossoms, and borne almost 
continually. The fruit is small, bright orange-red in color, 
having a peculiar flavor; of no value for eating, though it 
may prove useful in making a lemonade, as the fruit is as 
acid as a lime. The fine appearance of the plant, with its 
constant habit of blooming and showy fruit, combine to make 
a plant of peculiar value and beauty. Is best suited for open 
ground culture, as it is deciduous and drops its leaves in the 
fall, though it will not do so if kept from frost. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. 
THE OTAHEITE ORANGE 
This valuable and distinct variety of the Orange family 
is a dwarf, compact grower, with glossy, deep-green foliage 
which has a decided odor of the Orange trees of Florida, and 
is exceedingly floriferous, producing a wonderful profusion of 
pure white flowers of the most delicious fragrance, identical 
with the much-sought-for blooms of southern Orange groves. 
Otaheite fruits immediately after flowering, bearing fruits 
about one-half the size of the ordinary Orange, retaining in 
a marked degree their sweetness. Fine plants, 15 cts. each ; 
larger size, 25 cts.
