NEW DWARF JUNEBERRY. 
The Juneberry is a fruit which has come to stay. We 
refer to the new dwarf variety recently Introduced from 
Alaska. Coming from such a cold climate there is of course 
no question as to its perfect hardiness. It is a quickgrower, 
forming dense clumps of bushes which seldom grow higher 
than a man’s head. They bloom and boar fruit when very 
small, not over a foot in height. The berries ore of fair size, 
about like ordinary clierrics, dark purple in color, and e.v- 
ceedingly sweet and delicate in taste. It is one of the finest 
fruits to eat raw that ever grew. After the berry is fully 
ripe it will keep on the bu^ in ])erfect condition for two 
weeks or more without decaying or dropping. Aside from 
Its value as a fruit, it is one of the most showy ilowering 
shrubs that can be had. It blooms very' early in spring, be- 
fore the leaves start, and so numerous arc the flowers that 
the whole bush is clothed in a robe of snowy whiteness. 80 cts. 
each ; 4 for Sl.OO. 
DOWNING’S EVERBEARING 
MULBERRY. 
The beauty of this as a lawn or street tree Is quite enoujprh 
to commend it, and it also yields an abundant supply of its 
large refreshing berries for over three months of the year. 
A New York Paper says: “ Has everybody a Mulberry 
tree planted in hie yard? If not, let not another year pass 
without planting one. Bear in mind, also, the Downing Ever- 
bearing Mulberry; it bears all the time except during winter 
and it begins bearing when no taller than a one-year old boy, 
at least that is the case with mine.” 
The late Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said : “ I regard it as 
an indispensable addition to every fruit garden ; and J sne^ 
what 1 think when I say I had rather have one of Downing’s 
Everbearing Mulberries than a lx)d of Strawberries.”
