Alpine Strawberry 'Mara Des Bois' )New PP#8,517. (Fragaria hybrid.) The intense fragrance and rich succulent flavor of an alpine strawberry combined with the heavy production of a garden strawberry! 'Mara des Bois' is a gourmet treat. This day-neutral everbearer sends out runners in the garden, establishing daughter plants to replenish itself.

The flavor combines the musky bite of wild strawberries with a tart yet sweet component — absolutely delectable! Introduced in France in 1991 as a hybrid of 4 varieties selected for their complexity of flavor and texture, it is ideal for strawberry jars and hanging baskets as well as the garden.

Mespilus germanica 'Royal' — Medlar
)New Gooseberry 'Jahns Prairie'
Mespilus ‘Royal’
Strangely impossible to find in this country, this beautiful tree is tailor-made for the American garden. Structure is picturesque—low and wide-spreading, with lovely crooked brances, rarely exceeding 20 feet in as many years. Masses of heavenly white to light pink flowers in early summer are followed by unusual 1½ inch fruits that are a favorite in Europe for jelly. Fruits can be eaten out-of-hand when soft; flavor is somewhat like applesauce. Bareroot. Z 5-8 | early summer | sun | H: 8-10', W: 8-10'

Pomegranate Favorite™ )New (Punica granatum.) The hardiest Pomegranate we have ever grown is also one of the most delicious, with small, exceedingly sweet pale red fruit beginning just a season or two after planting. But its primary value may be ornamental, for its bright orange-scarlet blooms are abundant and lovely, continuing for several months on this compact, well- branched shrub. Untroubled by pests and diseases, this selffertile shrub has survived temperatures below 10 degrees F without damage, and is worthy of a place of honor in the garden. 1-gallon container.
