A second kind, P. begonifolia, is from the Himalayas, and is larger in all its parts, with downy leaves and purple berries.

Its narrow oblong leaves show its purple-blue berries to advantage as they dangle in profusion in autumn.

The flowers are of a greenish-white color, and are not so showy as are the berries.

It is readily increased either by cuttings or layers, or by seeds sown as soon as the berries shrivel on the stems.

These are followed by dense clusters of showy scarlet berries, which ripen in August and hang far into the winter.

The Sea Buckthorn has silvery-looking Willow-like leaves and bears a profusion of orange berries.

S. canadensis is excellent in this way, reaching a height of 6 to 8 feet, with oval green leaves, reddish underneath, and small red or yellow berries.

S. argentea, the Buffalo Berry, is a taller shrub of nearly 20 feet, with thorny stems, silvery leaves, and juicy red or yellow berries, prized for jellies and preserves by the Western colonists.

The small white flowers, coming in dense clusters during May, are of no great beauty, but give place to brilliant blue berries of fine appearance; so far, however, these do not seem to have been produced in this country.

Their chief value is for undergrowth in woods, or for ornamental covert (as birds eat the berries), and they will flourish anywhere.

The Indian Strawberry, F. indica, is a pretty trailer, bearing many red berries and flowering late.

The best in this way is Z. piperitum, or Japan Pepper, in which the glossy black berries are so abundant as to be exceedingly attractive.

The berries are small-about the size of black currants-acid but edible.

The berries are black and only eatable after frost.

Hop-leaved Vitis (Vitis Heterophylla) - A variety of this, known as humulifolia, is the most beautiful of the forms of this species, and in autumn bears pretty turquoise-blue berries.

In autumn the color of the leaves is in rich contrast to the purplish-black berries, closely set on columnar spikes.

P. acinosa, the Indian Poke, comes from the Himalayas, and, while much resembling P. decandra, is a little less tall, with its berries in drooping clusters instead of held erect.

Store-bought berries can't compare to organically grown, sun-warmed berries picked just steps from your door.

Look for berries that are uniformly bright red and slightly soft, with darkening seeds.

The berries are not only for the holidays!

Asparagus will self-sow, but you don't want to encourage that until the bed is completely established, so pull out any stalks that develop berries.
