STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 
(SO CALLED). 
A misleading description given to the fruits of Rubus palmatUS, 
better known perhaps under the name of RubllS sorbifolius. These 
fruits are somewhat like a raspberry in appearance, but larger and much 
longer. They are of a bright shining crimson colour, and look as if they 
were made of tiny brilliantly coloured beads. They are extremely beaut; 
ful, surpassing in that respect every other small fruit, but have practically 
no flavour. The plants themselves form compact little bushes about lift, 
high, with compound leaves, and bear abundantly in August and 
September. 
In pots, 9d. each; 6/- per doz. 
WALNUTS. 
Common (Juglans regia) Standards, 2/6 and 3/6 each. 
JAPANESE WINEBERRY. 
Rubus phcenieolasius argenteus.— This is of vigorous growth and 
has great merits, both as an ornamental plant and for its fruit, which 
ripens in succession toother Raspberries and before blackberries. The fruit 
has a peculiar character of its own, and grows in a husk and is borne 
in dense clusters. It is of a bright scarlet colour, very sweet and juicy, 
and much esteemed for preserving. Each berry is enveloped by the large 
calyx, forming a sort of “ burr,” which is covered with purplish-red hairs, 
as are also the stems, giving the plant a most unique and beautiful 
appearance. 1 /- each ; 9/- per doz.
