NEW GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY.

Owing to the scarcity and rarity of this new and wonderful fruitvegetable, we aid not have enough plants to supply all of our customers last year and the demand will be greater this year. However, we are going to offer a few plants this spring and those wanting to try this new fruit should let us book their order now. Strong plants, 3c or 25c per doz. Help to win the war by growing some of these new huckleberries. The plants should be treated the same aS tomatoes. They grow about 3 feet high and are literally covered with lucious fruit, black in color and about the size of cherries. Our experience has taught us that fruits should not be picked until, thoroughly ripe. Even after a light frost they, are better and cook up finer. When cooked with apple, lemon or any kind of sour fruit, they surely make fine pies, sauce or jelly and can be used for making homemade wine. You will be astonished and delighted with this wonderful, easily grown novelty. Send us your order to day—tomorrow night will be too late. Plants can be pulled up in fall and hung up in cellar and ripe, fresh fruit can be picked long after snow falls. I also would advise that you try ome of our purple peach tomatoes. They resemble some peaches so closely in size, shape and general appearance that at a short distance away they could be taken for a peach. Color, purple, blending with orange-umber. Very productive and make fine pies and preserves. Plants 3c or 25c per doz. Plants ready May first. All kinds of flower and vegetable plants and enough for everybody.
