It origi-nated in Wisconsin; is a rapid grower and extremely hardyand strong. It has never been known to rust or blight, evenin localities where all other varieties suffer from the disease,which renders it of great and special value for some has been my most profitable early variety for marketgrowing for the past seven years, and I shall continue toplant it larsrely until I find something better. Doz., 20c; 100,50c ; 1000, $ DWARF JUNEBERRY, An excellent substitute forthe Swamp Whortleberry orHuckleberr}, but of the eas-iest culture. The fruit isborne in clusters, reddish-purple changing to bluish-black. In flavor it is of amild, sub-acid, excellent as adessert fruit or hardy, enduringextremes of cold and heatuninjured. In habit it issimilar to the currant. Theblossoms have white petalsand completely envelop thebush, rendering- it a whitemass when in bloom; which,with its bright, glossy, darkgreen foliage, renders it oneof the handsomest of orna-mental shrubs. SUCCESS. A superbvariety, the result of carefulcrossing, and a great improve-ment upon all others; pro-duced by Professor Van De-man, from whom I purchasedthe entire stock. Perfectlyfree from disease, and exceed-ingly productive; fruit large, beautiful, delicious, rich and full in flavor. Ea., 10c; doz.,75c [by mail); 100, $
