LUCRETIA DEWBERRY OP RUNNING BLACKBERRY. 
The plants are perfectly hardy and healthy, and remarkably productive. The flowers are very large 
anu showy. The fruit, which ripens with the Mammoth Cluster Raspberry, is often one and a half inches 
long by one inch in diameter, soft, sweet and luscious throughout, without any hard center or core. As 
the Dewberry roots only from the tips, and does not sprout like blackberries, this will be much more 
desirable for garden culture, and the trailing habit of the plant will render winter protection easily 
acccomplished in cold climates where that precaution may be necessary. 
IMPROVED DWARF JUNEBERRY. 
The Juneberry is one of the most valuable berries. The wood is hard and firm and endures the 
extremes of climate without injury. Its leaves are a dark, glossy green and very much resemble the 
pear. The plant propagates from suckers. The flowers appear about the time as those of the apple 
The petals are white and five in number. The fruit is borne in clusters like the currant* and ripens in 
June. Its size equals the wild gooseberry ; shape, round ; color, reddish purple at first and becomes a 
bluish black when fully ripened. Its flavor approaches the huckleberry, a mild, very rich sub-acid. Most 
people like its quality and pronounce it delicious. It may be served with sugar and cream or cooked as 
sauce, and is splendid canned for winter use. The plant is about the height and form of the currant bush. 
It produces fruit in enormous quantities, and bears every year. It is also perfectly hardy, not being 
injured by wet, cold or dry weather, and needs no special treatment.
