Our attention has been called to this fruit by Mr. B. A Matthews, of Knoxville. The plants came from Michigan on an order for Blueberry plants, through a Davenport man, and the mistake, or rather imposition, was not detected until the plants bore fruit the present season. Mr. B. writes:

"The Dwarf June Berry, by the way, is no humbug, it bears prodigiously, and I am told sells in the Davenport market very readily for the same price as raspberries; the fruit looks more like the Blueberry than the fruit of our common June Berry. A person unacquainted with either the Blueberry or Dwarf Jnne Berry might not discover the cheat. The fruit of the Dwarf variety is much the largest, and when ripe is a deep blue-black, while the fruit of the common sort is quite red. The Dwarf June Berry is nothing particularly new, although it is not very generally known, or it would perhaps be better appreciated - that is, among people who like the fruit of the Shaddock. The common sort is not a sure bearer in this country."
