The plant grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet, is very bushy, thorny ; foliage trifoliate, and is retained quite late, but not an evergreen here. Flowers appear in great profusion early in spring, and a second and third crop is pro- duced during summer. The bright golden fruit is retained during winter, and makes this plant a showy garden feature. V JUNEBERRY. Improved Dwarf Juneberry. The fruit is borne in clusters, and is reddish purple in color, changing to a bluish black. In flavor it is a mild, rich subacid ; excellent as a dessert food or canned. When this fruit becomes better known to the public it will be very popu- lar. It is much larger and better flavored than the wild Juneberry. IMPROVED CHERRY. Improved Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry. The fruit is jet black when ripe, and in size averages somewhat larger than the English Morello. Its flavor is similar to the sweet Cherries. The introducer says : I could sell wagon loads of these Cherries at 10 cents per quart. I have had young trees loaded down with fruit at 2 years of age from seed. They never fail to bear fruit every year ; late frosts never affect them ; ripen when all others are gone. The shrub would grace any lawn when 111 blossom. The fruit is more easily pitted than other Cherries. It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten fresh or for preserving. Those who know it do not hesitate to commend it in theh ighest terms to gardeners and fruit- growers
