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 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 growtli 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 recent years. As it blooms and bears fruit when only a foot high it may be grown in a pot. if desired, like the Otaheite Orange.

They are al- most sure to commence bearing the second year after plant- ing, no matter how small the tree may be. They mature their fruit early and it drops at the first touch of frost. Enormously prolific, tree highly ornamental and will prove an attractive and novel thing on anyone's place. 40c. each; 3 for $ M n\ be pry. The Rev. Henry Ward
