Elasagnus Longipes. 
ELiEAGNUS 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 beau- 
tiful 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 
tlowers 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, 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 insocts and 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 ornamen- 
tal 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. 
Dwarf Jnneberry. 
JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 
There have been few novelties introduced to this 
country that are more interesting or beautiful in 
their way than the Japanese Raspberry, brought 
out recently under the name of Wineberry. It 
originated from seed sent home by Prof. George- 
son, late of the Imperial College of Agriculture, 
Tokio, Japan, and gathered by him from a plant 
growing in a wild state on the mountains of that 
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 clusters, 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. 
The Japanese Wineberry, 
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, tough, dark green above 
and silvery gray beneath. Each 
berry is at. first tightly envel- 
oped by 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. 
When cooked it is simply 
grand, surpassing by far, when 
canned, the huckleberry and all 
other small fruits now in culti- 
vation. Season of ripening 
early in July. 50 cts. per doz., 
$1 per 100.
