ORNAMENTAL FRUITS 
Edible Fruits Which Lend a Striking Beauty to the Landscape 



Nanking 
Cherries 
° Foliage is typically gray 
Buffalo Berries with a covering of silvery 
brown pubescence of Metallic lustre. In late August 
we find the stems covered with scarlet fruits the size 
of Currants. In spite of their sour slightly acid taste 
they are edible, being highly valued for jams and 
jellies. The Indians used them extensively preserving 
them by drying. Plant several specimens to be sure 
of pollenization. Sometimes called the Rabbit Berry. 
Price 18 inch plants 35c each—4 for $1.00. 
Ornamental Fruits are valuable because they 
produce not only edible fruits but are most at- 
tractive to birds. 
These fruiting trees and shrubs will furnish the 
desired landscape effect just as well as other 
ornamentals. : 
A clean looking round headed 
Black Haw shrub. Attractive pure white May 
flowers give place to bunches of pink fruits turning

tocrat among the native shrubs of your boyhood days 
and now considered an excellent medium large shrub.

Cultural Bircchore They will be sent to you at the proper 
planting season. Poor success with many plants is often caused by ordering 
and planting too late in the season. The best planting times are very early 
spring when the trees and shrubs out of doors are 
just starting growth and the ground is still mel- 
low and cool, and in the fall after the first freez- 
ing weather. 
For the most part these Ornamental fruits are 
not subject to serious insects or disease injury so 
that spraying is not necessary.
