MULBERRIES. 
NEW AMERICAN MULBERRY. 
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. 
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. 
DWARF ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHERRY. 
IMPROVED DWARF ROCKY 
MOUNTAIN CHERRY. 
This is a shrub which originally grew wild in the moun- 
tains. 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 ripe, and in size averages 
somewhat larger than the English Morello. Its flavor is simi- 
lar to the sweet Cherries. The introducer says: “I could 
sell wagon loads of these Cherries at io cts. per quart. 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. 
“It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten fresh or for 
preserving. 
“It will endure longer drouth and more severe cold than 
an}' other variety of the Cherry.” 
i-year, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $ 6 per 100; 2-year, 15 cts. 
each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100.
