|who has not got it, there
| | |would be countless
| | |inquiries for it. It has

| | |flowered freely, but this

Nuttallia |California; |White; |This is one of the
cerasiformis |Rosaceae |early |prettiest and most
| |Spring |interesting of March
| | |shrubs. It is of good
| | |habit, and produces a large
| | |quantity of dull white
| | |flowers in drooping
| | |racemes. The fruits, too,
| | |are pretty, not unlike
| | |those of a small plum, of
| | |reddish-yellow colour, with
| | |a plum-like bloom. It must
| | |be noted that the flowers
| | |are liable to be dioecious,
| | |and so, therefore the sexes
| | |must be planted together,
| | |though we have obtained
| | |fruit by sticking branches
| | |of the male flowers among
| | |those of the female shrub.
