Three Novel Hardy Fruits

BEiD’S NURSERIES, UPLAND, OHIO 
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 r , symmetrical 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.

Gentlemen — My order, No. 7862, for trees, to come by freight and 
mail, has arrived in good shape. The trees by mail were especially 
fine. In fact, all were fully up to what I looked for. Many thanks. 
I expect to get more trees in the spring. 
Yours very truly, 
L. A. Bowes. 
Hardy Orange. 
Paxtang, Pa., Nov. 28, 1899. 
Sir — Received trees, etc., O. K. yesterday, and find them very nice. If you 
issue a new catalogue next spring, or any other time, do not forget me. 
Yours truly, J. H. Snyder. 
Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry. 
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. 
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 
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. 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.” 
"It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten fresh or for preserving. 
"Those who know it do not hesitate to commend it in highest terms 
to gardeners and fruit-growers. 
"For preserves, or to eat out of the band, it has no equal in the line of 
pitted fruits, and is free from every known insect and tree disease. 
"It will endure longer drought and more severe cold than any other 
variety of the Cherry.” 
The merits of this fruit leave little to be desired. 1-year, 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz., $7 per 100; 2-year, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
Extra large size, 25 cts. each.
