The Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry. This wonderful fruit was discovered in 1878, in the moun- tains of Larimer County, Colorado. It is one of the most productive fruits that grow. It is not uncommon to pick 15 to 20 quarts of fruit from a three-year-old bush, and 80 cher- ries have been counted on a branch 12 inches in length from a two-year-old bush. The fruit when ripe is a jet black and of a size as shown in the cut. In flavor it is much like the sweet cherries; when ripe is conceded superior to any other variety. It is ornamental as well as useful, both in flower and fruit. It bears every year, grows to a height of four feet, and has never been affected by insects or disease. On account of its small growth it can be grown in a little space where there would not be room to plant a larger growing cherry or other tree, and is a superb thing to plant on the lawn or among shrubbery. It is one of the most startling novelties of last year. As it blooms and bears fruit when onlv a foot high it may be grown in a pot. if desired, like the- Otaheite Orange. Price. 25c. each; 5 for $ ]3eWberries. Since we first introduced this valuable fruit several years ago, it has become very popular, and is now largely grown in all sections of the country. It is, as is generally known, a climbing Blackberry, the vine growing very long and may be allowed to trail over the ground or may be trained up to trellises, like Grapes. It is hardy and robust and a sure an- nual bearer, the berries being larger, sweeter and superior in every way to Blackberries. The fruit is borne in great quantities, and is of a soft, pulpy nature, sugary and deli- cate, and seems to melt in one's mouth like ice crea
