Rubus sorbifolius 
This is a most interesting Raspberry from Japan of not much 
value as a fruit, but, considered as an ornamental plant, very desir¬ 
able and beautiful. It does not grow over 15 or 16 inches high and 
completely covers the ground with a mass of beautiful foliage. In 
May it is covered with very pretty white, fragrant flowers and from 
June until frost it is always in flower and fruit. The fruit is as 
large* as a fair-sized strawberry and most beautiful, being the most 
brilliant red I have ever seen in any fruit. The flavor, however, 
does not equal its appearance and is not as good as that of the best 
Raspberries. This Raspberry will be valuable for covering sandy 
banks or to plant in any soil too poor to grow anything else. It 
spreads with the greatest rapidity. I can also supply a yellow- 
iruited variety which is not so attractive as the red. 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz., $6 per 100.

distinct, both in color and shape, from all other Clematis in cultivation, and the plants 
are hardy, free-growing and free-flowering.

Blue Spruce 
(Picea pungens glauca pendula)

elties ever sent out, and was awarded First-class Certificates by the 
Royal Horticultural Society, London, and the Pomological Society of 
of Holland.

rich blue foli¬ 
age, even

riety, and

Kubus sorbifolius. 
the desirable and valuable qualities of its parents. The great quality of this new con¬ 
ifer is its striking and graceful pendulous habit in all stages of its growth. All the 
branches, even the young shoots, are very drooping.

rarity. Very small plants, $1! each; small plants, $8 each; larger plants, $1G. Speci¬
