PRUNUS FRUTICOSA. SIBERIAN BUSH CHERRIES . 
"Improved varieties of Siberian cherries, Prunus fruti- 
cosa, growing in the garden of Prof. N. F. Kastchenko in Tomsk. 
Fruits of the Siberian bush cherry bought in Omsk , but 
said to have come from Kurgan. The fruits though small and' of 
sour flavor make delicious compotes and preserves, having a 
spicy, nutty flavor all their own." From photographs taken by 
Mr. Frank N. Meyer, Omsk, Siberia, August 4, and Tomsk, 
Siberia, Augus-t 25, 1911.
