For two or three years many people have been to see it and to taste it, and it seems that no one ever tires of praising it. It has fruited elegantly in our own grounds now for two summers, and as a rare or fancy fruit It is one which is sure to delight its possessor. It is a shrub, fruiting when only three or four feet high, and proba- bly never exceeds five or six feet when fully grown. The fruit is borne in quantity the whole length of the branches, is oblong or olive shape and about the color of a dark red cherry. It has a small pit and an unexcelled flavor, being rich. Juicy, sprightly, and more luscious than the cherry. It ripens in .July and August and the fruit remains in good condition a long time before dropping. The bush is perfectly hardy and robust, a nd from the enormous demand which we are hav- ing for it we believe it is to be universally popular.
