In the west they have taken to calling the dwarf form of the Indian cherry - Amelanchier canadensis - Service berry. As already noted, it is often advertised as huckleberry. It is a misfortune that these common names should be mixed up so, Service berry being a very old name for another thing. But there is no help for it. All that a magazine can do is to record facts as they find them. We shall continue to call it Dwarf Indian cherry - a name that does not mislead, as it is not appropriated by any thing else, - though, of course, it is not a cherry at all - it being nearer to a small apple than any thing else. The Amelanchier has long been known in English garden literature as Snowy Mespilus. It is right good eating, under any name, and deserves wide cultivation. We refer to the dwarf western form.
