ripe, 
Improved DWARF ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHERRY. 
This is a shrub, which originally grew wild in the mountains. The 
fruit has been greatly improved by cultivation, and is claimed to be, when 
fully ripe, the best fruit of its sea- 
son. The fruit is jet black when 
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. 1 have kept two hundred of 
these trees, which I intend to sell to re- 
liable 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.” 
u It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten frosh or for preserving. 
"It will endure longer drought and more severe cold than any other 
variety of the Cherry. 
1-year, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7 per 100: 2-year, 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz., $10 per 100. 
A NEW HARDY ORANGE. 
This is the most hardy of the Orange family, and will stand our 
northern climate with little or no protection, being also desirable for 
pot culture. In the parks of both New York and Philadelphia it grows 
luxuriantly, 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, symmetrical growth, with beautiful trifoliate, glossy green leaves 
and many large, 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 
lemonade, as the fruit is as acid as a lime. The fine appearance of the plant, with its constant habit of bloom- 
ing and showy fruit, combine to make a plant of peculiar value and beauty. It 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. 
Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherrv. 
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 on 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 
clusters of three or more, for best re- 
sults. 10c, each, $1 per doz,, $5 per 100. 
EL.EAGNUS LONGIPES. 
This new and valuable acquisition, a native of Japan, is one of our most promising new fruits, and we highly 
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 object, especially when loaded 
with fruit; it is also very attractive when in bloom in May, the flowers being a beautiful lemon-yellow color. The 
bush begins to bear at two years old, and the fruit is very highly priced by those who have fruited it, for its pecu- 
liar piquancy, making a very delicious sauce, and considered much superior to the cranberry. It is about the size 
of an ordinary cherry, but more oval, and is borne in large clusters in great profusion. The bush is very hardy 
and free from insects anil 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. 
, r ^*? ere T bnTe been few novelties introduced to this country that are more interesting or beautiful in their way 
i ap ‘J n « e Raspber , r y> brought out recently 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 
Elr t . gr0 T ng .- ,n i a u’ l d „ st . ate the mountains of that country. The canes of this interesting plant are largo, 
ro rust and entirely hardy here; they are thickly covered with purplish red hairs, which extend along the stem to 
the extremity. The leaves are large, quite tough, dark green above and silvery gray beneath. Each berry is at. 
hrst tightly enveloped in the large calyx, forming a sort of bur, which is also covered with purplish red hairs. 
„ Ua i 0 ? 6 ? a °d turn back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. In quality good, with a rich and 
f l aTor ’ bu * decidedly brisk subaeid. When cooked it is simply grand, surpassing by far, when canned, 
the huckleberry and all other small fruits now in cultivation. Season of ripening early in July. 50 cts. per doz.,
