JAPANESE WINEBERRY 
This is an entirely new, distinct and 
valuable berry. It belongs to the raspberry 
family; is a strong, vigorous grower, at¬ 
taining the usual heights of the raspberry, 
and is said to be perfectly hardy in all 
positions without protection. The leaves 
are of the darkest green on the outside and 
silvery white underneath. The young shoots 
or branches are covered with _ a reddish 
brown hair or moss. The fruit is borne in 
large clusters, often seventy to one hun¬ 
dred berries in a bunch. These berries are, 
from the time of formation and bloom 
until they are ripe, enclosed in a “burr” 
which is caused by the calyx covering them 
entirely. When ripe the burr opens, ex¬ 
hibiting a large berry of the brightest, 
light glossy scarlet or cherry wine color. 
The burrs and stems are covered with a 
heavy reddish moss like a moss rose bud. 
The flavor of the fruit is entirely differ¬ 
ent from that of any other berry, being 
very sprightly, sweet and juicy, having no 
disagreeable sour, but a luscious flavor pe¬ 
culiar to itself and superior to other ber¬ 
ries. It commences to ripen early in July, 
and continues in bearing for a long time. 
It is the most prolific berry known, the 
bushes being literally covered with its lus¬ 
cious fruit. It is propagated from the tips 
like cap raspberries and dewberries, and 
can be increased rapidly.

HIMALAYA BERRY 
The vine is a vigorous grower making a 
growth from 20 to 30 feet in a season, 
which can trained upon a fence or arbor 
similar to grape vines. Fruit is black, 
very sweet with no core, fine for pies and 
jellies. The vines should have some pro¬ 
tection in winter, which can be done late 
in the fall by pruning the plants and leav¬ 
ing only two canes to each plant. Lay 
them on the ground and cover with 4 
inches of earth which should be removed 
in early spring. 
Each, 15c; 8 for $1.00; $10.00 per 
hundred. By parcel post, prepaid, add 2 
cents for each vine ordered.
