RUBUS-Sorbifolius (Strawberry-Raspberry) Is a Japan variety of the Raspberry or Black- berry family but little known in this country, robust, upright, spreading habit, similar to the Raspberry, except that it dies to the ground every fall and the fruit is produced on the young growth made the next year, by which we should think it would be well adapted to the cold climates. Fruit large, hand- some, luscious, resembling in size and form the Strawberry; red in color and of sprightly sub-acid pleasant flavor; excellent for sauce or jams, or very good as a dessert fruit, ripening with the Raspberry. That this nov- elty may be thoroughly tested, we have placed it at the moderate price of 10c. each ; 60c per doz.; $2.00 per 100 ; $ 12 per 1,000.

THE HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY is a very ornamental fruit bearing shrub of the Snow- ball family. Grows 4 to 6 feet high and pro- duces, in abundance, berries in bunches like the Mountain Ash—about the size of cran- berries, which hang on long after the leaves are gone and give it a very attractive appear- ance in early winter and make an excellent sauce or jelly of an aromatic flavor, very pleasant, though entirely different from any other known fruit. Price, mail or express, 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. SPECIAL B.—By Mail or Ex- press, four each, Logan Berry, Mayberry and Strawberry-Rasp- berry and Wineberry for $1*00. CHILD'S (BURBANK'S) MAYBERRY— An improved variety of the Mayberry, the result of a cross with the Cuthbert Rasp- berry, and described by the introducer as the most remarkable of all fruit novelties ever introduced. It grows in sturdy tree form six to eight feet high and ripens its fruits before Strawberries and a month before the earliest Raspberries. The bushes are distinct from other berries, with spreading tree like tops, large, bell-shape, pendulous blossoms which hang along the entire length of the branches in pairs or triplets. These large handsome blossoms are followed by great glossy berries, which are of a golden yellow color, and in- quality, sweet and luscious beyond descrip- tion. Its earliness makes it the most impor- tant of all fruits. Price, 2 yrs., mail or express, 15c. each ; $1.25per^doz.; $8.00 per 100. 1 year, 10c. each; $1 per doz.; $5 per 100.
