stems covered with scarlet fruits the size of Currants.

edible, being highly valued for jams and jellies. The

drying. Plant several together to be assured of pol-

Cultural Directions 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.
