FALL CATALOGUE OF BULBS THAT BLOOM FOR 1897.

Hybrid gerry, Prints. 
A hybrid between a Blackberry and a Raspberry. We 
have owned the entire stock for four years and it has been 
tested thoroughly. It is one of Mr. Burbank’s greatest 
productions, and he says of it; “This was my first success 
with Blackberry-Raspberry Hybrids, and it has been fully 
tested for several seasons. It is one of the most productive 
berries known, and is large and more regular in shape chan 
any other berry. Its flavor is unique; nothing like it has 
before appeared. All pronounce it superior when cooked, 
and eaten raw it is claimed to be the best berry known.” 
This berry is really enormous in size of fruit and vigor 
of growth. Its flavor is like that of a Raspberry and .Black¬ 
berry combined ; fruit long and handsome, of a Mulberry- 
black color. Its season of fruiting is earlier than either the 
Raspberry or Blackberry, following closely upon the Straw* 
berry, often before Standard Blackberries commence to 
bloom. Bushes incline to a trailing habit, and are best 
trained upon wires, like Grapevines. It is somewhat of a 
perpetual bearer, showing more or less fruit all summer. 
In a greenhouse it is a great thing, for it will fruit splendid¬ 
ly all winter, and prove exceedingly profitable. It is as 
hardy as an Oak in any climate and a sure cropper. 
One of the most remarkable of all new fruits seen dur¬ 
ing this generation. Of sterling worth in every particular. 
Price , UOc. each; 3 for $1.00.

Hybrid Berry, Rogaq. 
While not as large and meritorious as Primus, this is a 
very unique and valuable fruit. It is a hybrid between a 
Blackberry and a red Raspberry. If is very large in size 
and of a deep red color. In flavor it is rich, mingling both 
the taste of the Raspberry and Blackberry. Hardy, robust, 
a great bearer; ripening its fruit with the earliest Rasp¬ 
berry. It makes a .splendid pot plant and fruits well in 
winter when grown that way. 20c. each; 3 for 50c. 
The Dwarf Hock u Mountain Cherry. 
. This wonderful fruit was discovered in 1878, in the moun¬ 
tains of Larimer County, Colorado. It is one of the most 
productive fruits that grow. It is not uncommon to pick 15 
to 20 quarts of fruit from a three-year-old bush, and 80 cher¬ 
ries have been counted on a branch 12 inches in length from 
a two-year-old bush. The fruit when ripe is a jet black and 
of a size as shown in the cut. In flavor it is much like the 
sweet cherries; when ripe is conceded superior to any other 
variety. It is ornamental as well as useful, both in flower 
and fruit. It bears every year, grows to a height of four 
feet, and has never been affected by insects or disease. On 
account of its small growth it can be grown in a little space 
where there would not be room to plant a larger growing 
cherry or other tree, and is a superb thing to plant on the 
lawn or among shrubbery. It is one of the most startling 
novelties of last year. As it blooms and bears fruit when 
only a foot high it may be grown in a pot, if desired, like the 
Otaheite Orange. Price, 25c. each; 5 for $1.00.
