MISCELLANEOUS HARDY FRUITS 
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, ami 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 
results. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $5 p€*r 100. 
IMPROVED DWARF ROCKY MOUN- 
TAIN 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 
similar to the sweet Cherries. The introducer says : " I could 
sell wagon-loads of these Cherries at 10 cents 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

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 luxuri- 
antly, and blooms and fruits profusely. You can have an Orange tree grow- 
ing, 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, sweet-scented blossoms, finer than any other variety of Orange blos- 
soms, 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 blooming 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. 
ELEAGNUS 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. Jt is worthy a place in both fruit and ornamental collections, as 
its beautiful shape as a shrub, with its dark green foliage, make it a very 
conspicuous sight, especially when loaded with fruit ; it is also very attrac- 
tive 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 prized by those who have fruited it, for its peculiar piquancy, mak- 
ing a very delicious sauce, and considered much superior to the cranberry. 
It is about the size of an ordinary cherry, hut more oval, and is borne in 
large clusters in great profusion. The bush is very hardy and free from 
insects and disease, and grows to the height of about six feet. It, is sel- 
dom we have to offer a plant which combines valuable fruiting qualifica- 
tions with so ornamental a character. The plant will he prized as among 
the many good things which have come from Japan. 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz. 
The Japanese Wineberry. 
THE JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 
There have been few novelties introduced to this country that are 
more interesting or beautiful in their way than the Japanese Raspberrv, 
brought out recently under the name of Wineberry. It, originated from 
seed sent home by Prof. Georgeson, late of the Imperial College of Agri- 
culture, 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, quite tough, dark green above and silvery gray 
beneath. Each berry is at first tightly enveloped in the large calyx, form- 
ing a sort of bur, which is also covered with purplish red hairs. These 
gradually open and turn back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. In 
quality good, with a rich and sprightly flavor, but decidedly brisk subacid, 
u hen 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., $1 per 100.
