ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. 
L. M. A. Gibb. — (l) The Japanese Wineberry (Rubus pha'nicolasius). Its 
habit of closing its calyx after pollination before the fiuit has formed is certainly 
curious. Birds are so fond of the fruit that it requires netting. It makes 
delicious jelly. (2) Asperula cynanchica ~L., the Squinancy-wort.
