STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. The most unique and at the same time the most beau tiful berry of any kind that has as yet appeared. It comes to us from Japan, and is said to be a hybrid be- tween the Strawberry and Raspberry. "Whether this statement is correct or not we are unable to say, but that the piant is entirely hardy without protection and a probific yielder. we can bear testimony from personal observation of plants in our trial grounds. In habit of growth the plant is distinct from both the fruits named. The root is perennial, throwing up numerous strong branching shoots, which produce Targe, beauti- ful berries from early in July until freezing weather. The foliage is composed of compound leaves formed of five or seven leaflets that have a ridged or uneven sur- face, light green in color, bright, clean, cheerful and pleasing, and exempt from attacks of all insects and diseases. The berries are globular, slightly oblong in form, ranging in size from \}£ to Y% inches long and one to \% inches in diameter. The blossoms resemble in appearance small single roses, snow white in color and are as richly and deliciously fragrant as Gardenias.
