THE GARDENING WORLD 
December 10, 1898, 
well enough, but they are not at all common as yet. 
They may, however, belong to a more common species, 
and if so you may find on close examination, that 
they have been dyed so as to resemble autumn 
tinted leaves. The process of dyeing foliage in this 
way is becoming a common practice, as may often 
be seen in the case of the Mahonia, the leaves of 
which are more uniformly coloured with a red dye 
than is the case naturally. 
Sea Buckthorn not Fruiting. — A. B., L.: No 
doubt the reason for the unfruitfulness of your plants 
is that you have plants of only one sex. The male 
and female flowers are borne upon different plants, 
so that unless you have both forms growing in 
proximity you cannot expect the bushes to bear 
berries. You should ascertain whether your plants 
are male or female and get the one that is wanting. 
Send flowering specimens to us in spring if you do 
not understand the nature of the flowers yourself. 
We might recall another instance in the case of 
Aucuba japonica, of which only female plants were 
grown in this country for some years, and no berries 
were produced till the male plant was introduced.
