Eleagqtis j^oDgipes. This is a new fruit from Japan, and was, we think, first seen in fruit at the summer residence of Mr. Chas. A. Dana, late editor of the New York Sun. 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 four 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 probably never exceeds five or six feet when full grown, The fruit is borne in quantity the wbole length of the branches, is oblong or olive shape, and about the color of a â dark red cherry. It has a small pit and an excellent 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. Price 20c. each: 6 for $ GtyestQUt, Japap Giar*t.
