Childs' rare flowers, vegetables & fruits for 1895 . an attractive and novel thing on anyones place, 40c. each;S for SI. 00. Malbeppy. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher once said: I regardDownlngs Everbearing Mulberry as an indispensable addi-tion to every fruit garden, and I would rather nave a tree ofit than abed of Strawberries. One cannot wonder at thisremark when one sees this splendid fruit growing and tast«sIts luscious flavor. The tree attains a large size and beginsto bear when very small—in fact, when only a few feet inheight. The fruit is about one and one-half to two Incheslong. Jet black in color, very juicy and exceedingly sweet andrich in flavor. Like the Russian Mulberry, the fruit beginsto ripen In July and continues for two months or longerAs a lawn or street tree this Mulberry is a real beauty andehould be grown for this purpose, even if its fruit were noteatable. Its foliage Is laree, dense and luxuriant, and re-mains bright and green the whole summer. We considerthis one ofthe finest new fruits. 60c. each; 2 for $ This is a new fruit from .Japan, and was, we think, flntseen in fruit at the summer residence of Mr. Chas. A. Dana,editor of the New York Sun. For two or three years manypeople have been to see it and to taste it, and It seems thatno one ever tires of praising it. It has fruited elegantly inour own grounds now for two summers, and as a rare orfancy fruit it is one which is sure to delight its possessor. Itis a shrub, fruiting when only three or four feet high, andprobably never exceeds five or six feet when fully grown. Thefruit is borne in quantity the whole length of the oblong or olive shape and about the color of a dark redcherry. It has a small pit and an excellent flavor, being rich,juicy, sprightly, and more luscious than the cherry, liripens in July and August and the fruit remains in goodcondition a long time before dropping. The bush is per-fectly hardy and robust. Price, 30c. each; 4 for SI .00.
