TilE^TKflWBERRT-[^5PBEKKT. 
A curious Chinese Raspberry which appears to be unknown even to Mr. Jackson Dawson. As may be seen by 
engraving in last number of National Nurseryman, the foliage is that of a rose ; the fruit is decidedly Straw- 
berry-hke in every respect, although borne in upright position. Color, bright red, occasionally yellow. Will find 
ready sale wherever shown. Stock limited. Can offer young plants. 
NEW ROSE CRIMSON RflA\BLER. 
The sensation of the century. Gold medal 
at Antwerp Exhibition for best new 
plant introduced in 1893. Three 
gold medals elsewhere. 
This is the rose for American nurserymen. 
300 Blooms on One Branch have been pro¬ 
duced on one year old plant. It is a vigorous 
grower attaining a heightof 12 feet in one season, 
producing enormous bunches of deep crimson 
flowers, remaining in perfection longer than any 
other rose known. Sent out in 1894.

SACALINE, tbe New PorAfe PlApt. 
As Polygonum Sachalinense this was brought 
from St. Petersburg to Paris by Mr. Edouard 
Andre, and sold since as an ornamental plant. 
During the severe drought of 1893 it was dis¬ 
covered that cattle were extremely fond of it. It will grow where 
nothing else will, in dry, rocky or wet places, and when estab¬ 
lished will produce 90 to 100 tons of forage per acre. We have 
sold over 75,000 plants of it this year ! ! Nurserymen could sell 
it by the thousand.

SPIRflEfl ANTHONY WATERER. 
Although only one sent out by Mr. Anthony Wa- 
terer in November, 1894, we are already offering 
it at popular prices. Mr. Golding of the Royal 
Kew Gardens speaks of it as follows : “ An ex¬ 
ceptional novelty such as occurs only at rare 
intervals. Outshines any Spiraea in brilliancy of 
color, (a bright crimson); a dwarfer, denser 
grower, much profuser and more persistent 
bloomer ; not out of flower summer or autumn ; 
a rare gem ; will be grown exclusively for 
market; the ideal pot plant for the florist. In 
September I saw plants not more than 15 inches 
high with more than 20 flower clusters open 
at one time and that had been producing blooms 
in like manner since June.” First-class certifi¬ 
cate Royal Horticultural Society. 
Nice young plants to offer now.

BURBANK'5^ JAPANESE QOLDEN MAYBERRY. 
A raspberry which ripens its fruit before strawberries. This is 
one of Mr. Burbank’s greatest productions. Every nurseryman 
knows that Mr. Burbank never exaggerates his descriptions. This is 
what he says of this wonderful new berry : 
“ The earliest raspberry ever known. The berries are of a golden 
straw color, as large as Cuthbert, and ripen here in April, a month 
before Ilansell, before strawberries, and before the earliest of the 
standard raspberries of the past have hardly awakened from their 
winter rest. The bushes are distinct from all others, growing like 
trees, 6 to 8 feet high, with spreading tops ; and all along the branches 
large, white, well shaped blossoms are pendent, which are soon fol¬ 
lowed by the great, sweet, glossy, golden, semi-translucent berries. 
The plants, when well established, will surprise one with their abund¬ 
ance of fruit.” 
The original stock, consisting of six clusters and forty suckers, 
was bought for |800. It is a most beautiful and delicate foliage 
plant, fit for any lawn. Nurserymen who have seen it and know its 
value, such as The Lovett Co., have bought them of us by the 
thousand. 
THE LOGAN BERRY. 
a hybrid raspberry^-blackberry. 
Another California production of great value. “ Garden and 
Forest ” devotes several columns to its praise and considers it a great 
novelty. It is said to “ripen with strawberries; that the fruit is 
larger than that of the Kittatiny blackberry which ripens a month 
later; to be exceedingly agreeable in flavor, which is that of the 
raspberry and blackberry combined ; very large and elongated ; 
color a bright crimson, very taking.” The canes and leaves resemble 
the raspberry, the canes being covered with “fuzzy thorns and sharp 
enough to be objectionable.” The bushes are very robust in growth, 
the branches bending over gracefully with their wealth of blossoms 
and later on with the’- large quantit}’’ of fruits. It is also said to 
grow and thrive where other Blackberries fail, especially so in the 
Western States, where this berry in the short space of one year has 
acquired great renown, while its fame has already spread to the East. 
We have just bought the originator’s ertire stock for distribution 
East of the Mississippi, and will this season offer a part of it in lots 
of not less than 25 plants. There will be an enormous demand 
for it next season. 
We do not handle any other nursery stock than the above, but have a full line of 
Bulbs for the trade, such as 
CANNAS, DAHLIAS, GLADIOLI (1,000 sorts), LILIES, IRISES, PAEONIAS, Etc.
