PREFACE TO

NEW REVISED EDITION FOR 1860.

In 1857 the last edition of our Catalogue was published ; since that time, although a
very brief period, many new fruits have been introduced, and considerable experience
obtained, which render a new and revised edition necessary at this time. A few varieties
in the former edition are stricken off, being superseded by others, and several new varie-
ties of proved excellence are added.

New Varieties or Pears.—There is a great falling off in the anxiety to obtain new
Pears, the attention of cultivators and even pomologists, being more particularly occupied
with experiments to ascertain the best of those already introduced, and the best mode of
cultivation, This has already had a beneficial effect; hundreds of indifferent varieties
have already been discarded; Catalogues are getting cut down to reasonable dimensions,
and this, with an improved cultivation, will in a few years, place Pear culture in a greatly
advanced position.

Dwarr Pears.—The cultivation of Dwarf Pears has been fully discussed in the Horti-
cultural and Agricultural journals, and the result has been to bring the matter promti-
nently before the public, and draw out the experience of cultivators.

It has been ascertained and established beyond a doubt, that the causes of failures
have been, uniformly, unskilful and careless cultivation, combined with unsuitable stocks
and an improper selection of varieties. With the experience now acquired, the planting
of Dwarf Pears is more extensive than ever; it is now taken up with confidence, and will
be prosecuted with success. The country will accomplish more in this department during
the next five years than it has done in the last ten.

In Apples there is very little new; Dwarf Trees, on Paradise stocks for gardens, and
low standards on Doucin stocks for orchards in exposed situations, are receiving increased
attention.

New Fruirs.—No new Peaches, Plums, Apricots or Nectarines, of any importance.
The small fruits are of more general interest than ever—the new large Currants and
the Blackberries taking the lead. New Strawberries are numerous, many of them of little
or no value. The “Albany,” for its productiveness alone, has had a great run of popularity.
“Hooker” has been in great demand, and so far has given fair satisfaction. Our Genesee
holds its ground well, and many of the old sorts are as popular as ever. Among the
Foreign sorts, a few seem to adapt themselves remarkably well to our climate. The most
prominent of these are Triomph de Gand, Trollopes Victoria, and Comte de Flanders ; these
are all magnificent fruits of fair quality, and bear both our summers and winters well.

Native Graprs.—Native Grapes have occupied a large share of attention in almost
every part of the country, and the consequence has been the introduction of a large
number of new varieties, and the re-introduction of many old ones, that had long ago
been discarded as valueless. A few varieties, such as the Delaware, Diana, Rebecca,
Concord, &e., will, beyond doubt, prove permanently valuable, whilst by far the greater
number of new sorts will be objects of speculation for a time, and then be abandoned.

In the meantime, the interest awakened on this subject will lead to great improvement
as well as a great extension of Grape culture.

~

+

Vineyarps.— Vineyards are increasing rapidly in this State, mostly for the purpose of
supplying the market with fruit. Numerous and extensive vineyards have been planted
within a few years, in the counties of Ontario, Livingston, Steuben, Chemung, &c. In the
eastern part of the State, and in some of the Eastern States even, there is a marked pro-
gress in this direction, and all experiments yet made haye been found renumerative and
encouraging, although a new business and imperfectly understood. ,

In some of the Western and South-Western States where the climate is favorable, vine-
yards for the production of wine are increasing rapidly, both by individual and associated
effort, and bid fair to become of great importance to the industry of the country.

Forrren Grapes.—The culture of the Foreign Grape under glass progresses steadily.
Gentlemen having small gardens in cities, find the Grapery within their means, and a source
of great pleasure, and no respectable suburban or country residence is considered complete
without one. The erection of houses for this purpose, has become a sort of specialty.
There are persons now in various parts of the country who, by making a business of it,
get them up cheaply and well. The management of the Grape under glass has also
become so well understood that even amateurs without experience, or experienced assis”
tants, are succeeding perfectly well. Pot culture of the Grape is rapidly growing in favor ;
it enables a large number of varieties to be grown in a small house, it admits of changing
at pleasure; the vines are easily managed by being so completely within reach of the
hands; finally, nothing can be more beautiful. Last season we put into one of our propa-
gating houses, after the Spring propagation was over, some twenty or thirty plants in
pots, and got from them an abundant crop of the most perfectly ripened Grapes, with as
little labor as an equal number of Geraniums would have required.

A few years will, no doubt, lead to a great developement of this branch of culture.

Orcuarp Hovses.—Next to this comes the Orchard House, which has been brought
forward so prominently in the Horticulturist, by the publication entire of Mr. Rivers’
pamphlet on this subject.

In the milder districts of the United States, where the Peach, Apricot, and Nectarine
can be successfully @-own jn the open air, the orchard house culture of fruits will rarely be
practised ; but there are districts of country not so favorably situated, where it may, and
no doubt will be of great importance, as for instance, Central and Northern New York, a
large portion of the Eastern States and Canada, and in all those parts of Ilinois, lowa
Wisconsin and Minnesota— immense districts where the hardy fruits even are very
uncertain. Besides, in all parts of the country, gentleman residing in cities and villages
having but small gardens, will add to the vinery the orchard house, and to them it will be
of vast importance as being not only the source of a supply of fine fruits, but of rational,
delightful occupation for both mind and body during leisure hours. Reference will be
made in the Catalogue to trees suitable for this purpose.

Our grounds at the present time occupy more than five hundred acres of land, closely
planted, and is in every respect more satisfactory to ourselves than they have ever been
before. We begin to realize the benefits of long years of experience in every Department.
Our experimental grounds are every year increasing in usefulness and interest. Last
season we fruited as many as four hundred varieties of Pears, between two and three hun-
dred varieties of Apples, about eighty of Plums, sixty or seventy of Cherries, besides very
large collections of small fruits. The peach crop has failed here for three successive years.

Our specimen grounds are open to public inspection during the entire growing season.

We have recently made considerable additions to the glass department, increasing largely
our facilities for the propagation of such articles as are usually or more advantageously

5

propagated under glass. Our object is to arrange and conduct our business so that we
shall, at all times, be able to offer to our patrons and the public, stock of all kinds of the
best quality, and at the lowest market prices for such quality.

The late severe winters have directed particular attention to the comparative hardiness
of varieties, and we are now disposed to abandon the cultivation, at least in the Nursery,
of nearly all those known as delicate or feeble growers, or peculiarly susceptible to injury
in the winter.

We are more than ever convinced, that new soils impart to fruit trees a vigor and
hardiness of constitution which they cannot acquire on soils that have long been cropped ;
hence the greater portion of our present fruit stock is on fresh, unexhausted lands. We
also aim at forming all our fruit trees with low heads, believing that they are much
less liable to injuries and diseases, and better able to resist the injurious effects of winds
and storms, than tall trees with naked trunks.

Our present large and complete stock offers great inducements to nurserymen and
dealers, with whom we are prepared to deal on the most liberal and accomodating terms.
Orders from amateurs, if but for half a dozen trees, will receive prompt and careful
attention. :

Being in direct communication with all the great railroad, steamboat and canal routes
of the country, we possess every desirable facility for the transmission of packages to all
parts of the United States and Canada.

Our trade with California and Oregon has been already large and successful. With
our present experience in packing for those regions, we are prepared to fill orders in the
best possible manner.

The Ornamental Department forms separate Catalogues, designated as Nos. 2 and 8, and
a Wholesale List, is published annually or semi-annually for the trade.

The attention of our correspondents is requested to the notice on the following page.

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

CorrEsponDENts will greatly oblige, by observing, as far as possible, the following
regulations :

1st. All orders should be legibly written out in a list, and not mixed up in the body
of the letter ; this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes.

2d. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out.

3d. In ordering Fruit Trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees are
wanted for orchards, or dwarfs or pyramids for gardens, and on what sort of stocks each
kind is desired; and where it is left for us to choose varieties, the soil and situation
should be described as correctly as possible.

4th, Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees.
kinds of stocks, &c., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes,
ages, &c., may be substituted in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens
occasicnally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case, without
being expressly requested to do so.

5th. All trees and plants are carefully labelled and packed in the best manner for
any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made,
and ne charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad or canal.

6th. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages
" accompany each order. Where it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will
exercise our best judgment; but in,all cases the articles are at the risk of the purchaser
after being shipped ; and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be held responsible.

7th. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with a draft on
some of the principal cities for the amount, or references that will be satisfactory ; and
no credit will be given for a less amount than twenty-five dollars. When credit is given,
a satisfactory note, payable at some bank, will in all cases be required.

Sth. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be
committed in filling their orders, in order that we may at once make ample amends, as
we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with
their confidence.

The following Catalogues will be sent gratis to all who apply, post-paid, and enclose
stamps to prepay postage:

No. 1. A Descriptive Catalogue of Fruits.

No. 2. A Descriptive Catalogue of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Roses, &c.

No. 8. A Catalogue of Dahlias, Verbenas, Petunias, and select new Green House and
Bedding Plants, published every spring.

No, 4. A Wholesale Catalogue, or Trade List, published every autumn.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, &c.

We cannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected with Tree
Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations. Every man who
purchases a bill of Trees, should put himself in possession of “Tur Frurr GaRpEn,” or
some other treatise on Tree Culture, that will furnish him with full and reliable instruc-
tions on all the routine of management. Transplanting is to be considered under the
following heads:

Ist. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.—For Fruit Trees the soil should be dry,
either naturally, or made so by thorough drainage, as they will aot live or thrive on a
soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be well prepared by
twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the common one, at the
second plowing. On new, fresh lands, manuring will be unnecessary; but on lands
exhausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of
clover, or well decomposed manure or compost. To ensure a good growth of Fruit Trees,
land snould be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, or corn, or potatoes.

2d. THE PREPARATION OF THE TREES.—In regard to this important opera-
tion, there are more fatal errors committed than on any other. As a general thing, trees
are placed in the ground precisely as they are sent from the Nursery. In removing a
tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the roots are broken and
destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of the tree is de-

ranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and condi-
tion of the tree as follows:

SranparRp Orcuarp Trees.—These, as sent from the Nursery, vary from five to eight
feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the top forming
ahead. These branches should be all cut back to within three or four buds of their base.
This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to push with
vigor. In the case of older trees of extra size, the pruning must be in proportion; as a
general thing, it will be safe to shorten all the previous year’s shoots to three or four

buds at their base, and where the branches are very numerous, some may be cut out
entirely.

PyramipaL Trees—If of two or three years’ growth, with a number of side branches
will require to be pruned with a two-fold object in view, viz: The growth of the tree and
the desired form. The branches must be cut into the form of a pyramid by shortening
the lower ones, say one-half, those above them shorter, and the upper ones around
the leading shoot to within two or three buds of their base. The leader itself must be
shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been dried or injured much by expo-
sure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.

Dwarr Sranparp Trees anp Dwarr Busues—Must be pruned as recommended for
standards, aiming at producing a round, well-proportioned head, with the main branches
regularly distributed and far enough apart to admit air freely to all parts.

8

YEARLING TREES INTENDED FoR Pyramips.—Some of these may havea few side branches,
the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving only the strongest and best
placed. In other respects they will be pruned as directed for trees of two years’ growth.

Those having no side branches should be cut back so far as to insure the production of
a tier of branches within six inches or less of the ground. A strong yearling, four to six
feet, may be cut back about half, and weaker ones more than that. It is better to cut too
low than not low enough, for if the first tier of branches be not low enough, the pyra-
midal form cannot afterwards be perfected.

3d. PLANTING.—Dig holes in the first place, large enough to admit the roots of the tree
to spread cut in their natural position.» Then, having the tree pruned as above directed,
let one person hold it in an upright position, and the other shovel in the earth, carefully
putting the finest and the best from the surface in among the roots, filling every interstice,
and bringing every root in contact with the soil. When the earth is nearly filled in, a
pail of water may be thrown on to settle and wash in the earth around the roots; then
fill in the remainder, and tread gently with the foot. The use of water is seldom neces-
sary, except in dry weather, early in fall or late in spring. Guard against planting too
deep ; the trees, after the ground settles, should stand in this respect as they did in the
Nursery. Trees on dwarf stocks should stand so that all the stock be under the ground,
and xo more. In very dry, gravelly ground, the holes should be dug twice the usual size
and depth, and filled in with good loamy soil.

4th. STAKING.—TIf trees are tall and much exposed to winds, a stake should be
planted with the tree, to which it should be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing.
A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake.

5th. MULCHING.—When the tree is planted, throw around it as far as the roots
extend, and a foot beyond, 5 to 6 inches deep of rough manure or litter. This is particu-
larly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere, both in spring
and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and maintains an
equal temperature about the roots.

6th. AFTER CULTURE.—The grass should not be allowed to grow around young
trees after being planted, as it stunts their growth and utterly ruins them. The ground
should be kept clean and loose around them, until at least they are of bearing size.

TREATMENT OF TREES THAT HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN THE PACKAGES, OR RECEIVED DURING
FROSTY WEATHER.—Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar or some such place, cool, but
free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when they can be unpacked, and either planted or
placed in a trench, until convenient to plant. Treated thus, they will not be injured by
the freezing. Trees procured in the fall for spring planting, should be laid in trenches in
a slanting position to avoid the winds; the situation should also be sheltered and the soil
dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen boughs over the tops, will afford
good protection.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES IN PLANTATIONS.

Sranparp Appres, 30 feet apart each way. In poor soils, 25 feet may be enough.

SranparD Pears AnD Cuerrtes, 20 feet apart each way. Cherries will do at 18 feet,
and the Dwarf growing sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet.

Sranparp Prums, Peacnes, Apricots, AND NecTarInes, 16 to 18 feet apart each way.

Qutnces, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.

PyRAMIDAL APPLES, PEARS, CHERRIES, AND Piums, 10 feet apart each way. The greater
distance is better where land is not scarce.

Dwarr AppLes, (bushes,) 6 feet apart.

9

Currants, GoosEBERRIES, AND RASPBERRIES, 3 to 4 feet apart.

STRAWBERRIES should be planted in rows 3 feet apart, and the plants 18 inches apart,
at least. In cultivating them for market, the rows ought to be 34 to 4 feet apart, to admit
of culture with the horse hoe or cultivator.

Our principal stock of Apples consists of the following varieties, which have been well
proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation.

DWARF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids or Espaliers, can be supplied of all popular
and valuable sorts, on Doucin and Paradise stocks. On the latter the trees are smaller,
more prolific, bear sooner, and are therefore more desirable for small gardens. ‘They can
be planted 4 or 5 feet apart, and will bear abundantly the second year after planting.
Where large pyramidal trees or low standards are wanted, the Doucin stock is preferable.

DWARF APPLE TREE.

This is a portrait of a Rep ASTRACAN Apple tree, on Paradise stock, about eight years old, in full bearing,
intended to illustrate the form and appearance of such trees.

For Gardens, the PARADISE stock makes the most appropriate Dwarf tree, bearing very early, very pro-
fusely, and giving fruits of the most beautiful appearance and fine quality. For Orchards of Pyramidal Apple
trees or Dwarf Standards, the DoucIn is preferable, but trees on it do not bear much sooner than on the free
stock, unless judiciously pruned. ; :

Those who desire a fine assortment of Dwarf Apples will always do well to leave the selection to us, as we
are then able to send those varieties which are most advantageously grown in this way.

valuable.

Those designated by a *, are of American origin. A special list of those which we
find particularly well suited to the quince stock, will be found at the end of the general list.
GATHERING PEARS.—One of the most important points in the management of Pears, is to

gather them at the proper time.

Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe; Autumn Pears
at least a fortnight; and Winter Pears as nearly as possible about the time the trees stop

growing. If left on till the commencement of the fall of the leaf they will be injured.

CHERRIES. ;

The Cherry succeeds well in all dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form
that taste or circumstances may require.

For Orcuarps, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is not
subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with 4 or 5 feet of clean trunk are preferable.

For Door Yarps, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of the
free growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage, are the most suitable.

For Frurr Garpeys, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities where

the bark of the trunk is liable to bursting, the pyramidal or conical trees, dwarf or low
standards, with two or three feet of trunk, and the dwarfs, branching within a few inches
of the ground, are the most appropriate and profitable.

27

Standards are budded on the Mazzard stock, and the others on the Mahaileb, or St. Lucie,
the latter serves the same purpose for the cherry that the quince does for the pear, and
the paradise for the apple. It makes the trees smaller and more prolific, and besides it
may be root-pruned, like an apple or pear tree, in cases of superabundant vigor of growth.
It will also flourish on many soils not adapted to the Mazzard stock. Our trees are grown
upon dry and moderately rich soil, consequently the wood is well ripened and will bear
transplanting into any climate. It should be understood that cherry trees forced into an
excessive growth, by damp soils or powerful manures, cannot even stand the winter in the
nursery with safety, while transplanting is almost certain death to them. Purchasers will
do well to consider this,

KNIGHT’S EARLY BLACK CHERRY.

_ Theabove drawing is from a specimen tree in our grounds, about ten years old, on the Mahaleb stock, trained
in pyramidal form. We can recommend this mode of training for all Garden Cherry Trees, as superior in all
respects to the old Standard form, requiring long ladders to reach the top, either to prune or gather the fruit.
The trunk of the tree is always protected by the branches, and avoids the accidents and diseases which, in the
Standard form, they never escape. No trees in our grounds have been more admired during the past seven or
eight years than our Pyramid Cherries. The Mahaleb stock readily adapts itself to almost every variety of soil,.
which the Mazzard cannot do.

CLASS III—DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES.

These two classes of Cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are of
smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a
deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red, like
Belle de Choisy, to dark brown, like May Duke or Morello.

The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Belle de Choisy
and Reine Hortense, quite sweet, while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches and
acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appropriate for Dwarfs and Pyra-
mids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in
localities where the Heart and Bigarreaus are too tender.

BELLE DE CHOISY.—Medium size, amber shaded and mottled with red, tender, melt-
ting, sweet and rich; rather a shy bearer. Tree makes a pretty pyramid. End of
June.

BELLE MAGNIFIQUE.—A magnificent, large red, late cherry, excellent for cooking and
fine for table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy and rich. Tree is a slow
grower, but a most profuse bearer; makes a fine dwarf or pyramid on the Mahaleb.
Last of July. Very valuable. ,

BUTTNER’S OCT. MORELLO.—Medium size, red, acid; hangs on through Sept.; val-
ued only for its lateness. Tree a vigorous, erect grower, and makes a beautiful pyra-
mid. Moderate bearer. DU NORD NOUVELLE and DE PRUSSH are very similar
to, if not identical with this.

CARNATION.—Large, light red, mottled with orange; tender, juicy, a little acid, rich
and excellent ; tree is a good grower and profuse bearer; makes a fine dwarf. Mid-
dle and last of July. Very valuable.

DONNA MARIA.—Medium size, dark red, tender, juicy, rich, acid; fine for cooking.

SELECT PLUMS.

STANDARD PLUM TREES.

These are generally four to five feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should
have heads near the ground, making what we term Dwarf, or Low Standards.

DWARF AND PYRAMIDAL PLUM TREES.

These are adapted to Garden culture, being just as easily grown in the Bush or Pyra-
mid form as the Pear or Cherry. The trees furnished by us for this purpose are from two
to three feet in height.

DISEASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM.

The prevalence of that disease of the Plum, commonly called the “ black knot,” and of
the insect known as the cwrculio, has of late discouraged people generally from giving to
the Plum its merited share of attention. Itis not to be denied that these are obstacles
of considerable magnitude to indifferent, slovenly cultivators, but we are satisfied from
actual experience that nothing more than ordinary industry and perseverence is required
to overcome them entirely. Western New York is not exempt from these difficulties any
more than other localities; we hear complaints about ‘“ knots” and “ curculios” all
around us. Yet we are able to fruit, in the most successful manner, some 70 or 80 varie-
ties of Plums annually; getting not merely a few scattering fruits, but full crops, weigh-
ing down the branches, as all will acknowledge who have seen our trees during the past
few years.

This success of ours is not due to any extraordinary skill, nor to any peculiarity of
soil or climate, but to reasonably good care and culture.

Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect. We
have seen trees growing in grass in some uncultivated door yards transformed into a mere
mass of black knots, while trees in neighboring gardens, under good cultivation, were
entirely exempt. In our great specimen Plum Orchard we have never loste a tree by this
disease ; it does occasionally make its appearance, but we instantly remov it. Our pre-
ventives and remedies are good clean culture and prompt amputation.

As for the curculio, we find no difficulty in protecting the crop from it by merely
employing a little extra labor. When the trees blossom, and as the fruit begins to set,
we dress the ground about the Plum trees, and make it very clean and smooth. Then as
soon as the curculio commences its operations, we spread a large sheet, prepared for the
purpose, around each tree, and jar it so as to shake down all fruits that have been stung,
as well as all the curculios. Both insects and stung fruits are destroyed, and the ground
is swept as clean as a floor. This work is performed daily, and ensures a full crop. The

32

work is done quickly ; a dozen trees in a garden can be attended to daily in less than
half an hour’s work ofa man. Let those who really desire to grow fine crops of delicious
Plums, try this system, and follow it up rigidly, and they will be successful.

POND’S SEEDLING PLUM.

. This drawing represents a young tree of Ponn’s SEEDLING, trained as a Pyramid, some seven years old, and
infullbearing. Thisis only one from among a plantation of over two hundred trees, many of which are quite as
perfect as this one, and is merely intended to show this form of training, and call attention to its advantages
and beauty, especially for Garden trees. i :

We find that trees thus trained are much more easily protected against the attacks of the curculio and
other insects, than the ordinary Standard. The Pond’s Seedling is one of the largest and most beautiful of
Plums, but only of MEDIUM quality.

SHLECT PHACHES.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must
be well attended to in peach culture:—1st. Keep the ground clean and mellow around the
trees, and give it an occasional dressing of wood ashes, 2d. Keep the heads low—the
trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 38d. Attend regularly every spring to
pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year’s growth. This keeps the head
round, full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one-half,
and streng ones one-third; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds. Sickly
and superfluous shoots should be cut out clean.

It should always be borne in mind that the fruit is borne on wood of the last season’s
growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a goed supply of vigorous annual shoots
all over the tree. The Plum stock is advantageous only in stiff clay, cold and damp soils.

Price of Trees 25 cents each. On Plum Stocks one year, 50 cents each.

SELECT APRICOTS.

The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess; and its value
is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening—between cherries and peaches.

In a selection of choice garden fruits, it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admirably,
trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as it ma
occupy a house, wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for other trees. In cold sections
too, where the tree gets winter killed, or the blossoms injured by late spring frosts, these
Espalier trees can very easily be protected by matt or board screens. For stiff and damp
soils, they should be on plum stocks; but on light, loamy, gravelly and sandy soils, the
peach is better. To protect against the Curculio, see directions for the Plum.

hardy as a plum, and therefore worthy of attention where the finest sorts are too
tender. August.

The Nectarine requires the same culture and management as the peach, from which it
differs only in having smooth skin like the plum. It is peculiarly liable to the attacks of
the Curculio. The same remedy must be applied as recommended for the plum.

HARDY NATIVE GRAPES.

——~+-3--__—_——_——_

CLASS I—VARIETIES WHICH WH CAN RECOMMEND.

CLINTON.—Bunches small and very compact, berries small black, sprightly, keeps well,
one of the most free, rapid growers and profuse bearers; ripens two to four weeks
earlier than the Isabella. 25 to 50 cts. each.

CATAWBA.—Well known as the great wine grape of Ohio, Kentucky, d&e.; bunches
large and loose, berries large, of a coppery red color, becoming purplish when well
ripened; two weeks later than Isabella, and a month later than Clinton; requires the
most favored soils and situation, good culture and warm seasons to mature perfectly
in Western New York. 25 to 50 cts. each.

CONCORD.—A very large, handsome, black grape, ripening a week or two earlier than the
Isabella; promises to succeed well over a great extent of country. 50 cts. to $1 each.

DELAW ARE.—No fruit that has been introduced to this country during the last twenty
years, has awakened so much interest among cultivators as this Grape. Conflicting
opinions are held respecting its origin; some holding that it is of foreign origin, im-
ported from Switzerland, and others that it is a native. Be this as it may, it isa
most important acquisition. The vine is comparatively slender, but grows freely.
Small vines the second year after planting have made two shoots each, (12 feet high,)
and well ripened to the top, with ordinary culture on our grounds. It proves quite
hardy in this climate, and ripens two to three weeks before the Isabella. Bunch
small and compact; berries small, clear red, beautiful. Sweet, sugary and vinous,
with a musky aroma; equal to the finest foreign varieties. It justly claims the best
place in every garden. $2,00 each. See plate on the 41st page.

DIANA.—About same size and color of Catawba, a beautiful and delicious grape, hardy,
and ripens ten to twelve days before the Isabella; the most valuable of all recent vari-
eties of native grapes. 50 cts. to $1,00 each.

HARTFORD PROLIFIC.—A hardy, profuse bearing, and tolerably good black grape,
ripening so early as to suit the climate of New England, and valuable on this account.
50 cents to $1,00 each.

ISABELLA.—Bunches long, large, loose; berries large, oval, black, juicy, sweet and musky.
A vigorous grower, hardy and immense bearer. The most popular of all our native va-
rieties, as it ripens well in nearly all sections. 25 to 50 cts. each,

NORTHERN MUSCADINE.—-This is a large, reddish Fox grape, of inferior quality, but
is sweet, and seems to please many people. It is hardy and productive. 50 cts, each.

REBECCA.—A fine and delicious white grape, berry and bunch medium size; vine a free
grower, but slender; quite hardy, ripens about same time as Diana; recommended
particularly for careful garden culture. 50 cents to $1,00 each.

SHE ECT FOR DE I GEN -GaQAP Ee Se

All attempts at cultivating these varieties in the open air, in the Northern States, have
proved unsuccessful.

Under very favorable circumstances, some of the more hardy varieties, such as the
Black Cluster, Black Hamburgh or White Sweet-Water, produce a few bunches for the
first year or two after they are planted, but they soon become worthless by the attacks of
mildew, and the other effects of an ungenial climate.

Their culture, under glass, without fire heat, is very simple and successful, and is now
attracting much attention.

PRICE—Each, 2 years, 75 cents; 1 year, 50 cents; $4 to $6 per doz. All in pots.

(cy Many suppose it necessary to have their vines forwarded in the pots ; but this is
an error, except in the growing season. For transportation, the plants should be taken ont
of the pots, leaving a sufficient quantity of earth around the roots, and packing them
securely in cloth or moss. The vines will go safer in this way, and the expense of carriage
will be greatly reduced.

RASPBERRIES.

©-@-¢—__—_

To keep a Raspberry bed in good, productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood
should be cut out every season, as soon as the crop is gathered, to give strength to the
young shoots for the next year’s bearing. In spring, the weakest suckers should be
removed, leaving five or six of the strongest in each hill; the ground should be spaded,
and a top-dressing of manure given.

and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the autumn and covered with a few
inches of earth, leaves, litter or branches of evergreens.

AUTUMNAT? BEARING EASE BERETS.

This is a new and interesting class of Raspberries, bearing not only a full crop at the
usual season, but another in autumn, on the canes of the current season’s growth. To
ensure a full autumn crop, the summer crop should be sacrificed, by cutting all the canes
to the ground, in the spring, and removing all the weak suckers or young canes, giving
those intended for fruiting plenty of room and good culture. They will well repay all
this.

STRAWBERRIES.

CULTIVATION OF THE STRAWBERRY.

To cultivate the Strawberry for family use, we recommend planting in beds four feet
wide, with an alley two feet wide between. These beds will accommodate three rows of
plants, which may stand 15 inches apart each way, and the outside row 9 inches from the
alley. These beds can be kept clean, and the fruit can be gathered from them without
setting the feet upon them. We find by experience that no more convenient mode can
be adopted than this. The ground should be well prepared by trenching or plowing, at
least 18 to 20 inches deep, and be properly enriched as for any garden crop. ae

The season for planting depends upon circumstances. It may be done with safety from
the time the plants begin to grow in the Spring, until they are in blossom. And again in
the Fall from the time the young plants are sufficiently rooted, until the freezing of the
ground, It is well, however, to plant ata time when the plants will at once commence
growing. If planted in warm, dry weather, as August or September, it is necessary to
water the ground thoroughly before planting, and then to shade the plants until they have
began to root. The culture subsequent to planting consists in keeping the ground among
the plants clear of weeds, and frequently stirred with a hoe or fork, to keep the runners
closely pinched until after the fruit is gathered ; and to mulch the ground among the plants
before the fruit begins to ripen, with two inches deep of cut straw or short grass mowings
from the lawn, or anything of that sort, to keep the fruit clean and the ground from
drying. In exposed situations, or where the winters are severe, with little snow for pro-
tection, a slight covering of leaves or litter will be of great service. This can be raked
off and the beds dressed at the opening of the growing season. A bed managed in this
way will give two full crops, and should then be spaded down, a new one having been in
the meantime prepared to take its place.

Those marked (p) are pistilate, others are perfect in their flowers,

SAREE

THE FRUIT GARDEN:

A Treatise intended to illustrate and explain the Physiology of Fruit Trees ;
the Theory and Practice of all operations connected with the Propagation,
Transplanting, Pruning and Training of Orchard and Garden ‘l'rees as Stand-
ards, Dwarfs, Pyramids, Espaliers, &c.; the laying out and Arranging differ-
ent kinds of Orchards and Gardens ; the Selection of suitable varieties for
different purposes and localities; Gathering and Preserving Fruits; Treat-
ment of Diseases and Destruction of insects; Description and use of Iin-
plements, &c.; illustrated with upwards of 150 figures, representing different:
parts of trees, practical operations, forms of trees, designs for plantations,
mnplements, &c.; By P. BARRY, of the Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester,
N.Y. 1:vol., 12mo.

“It is one of the most thorough works of the kind we have ever seen, dealing in par-
ticulars as well as generalities, and imparting many valuable hints relative to soil, ma-
nures, pruning and transplanting.”—Boston Graz.

“‘A mass of useful information is collected, which gives the work a value even to those
‘who possess the best works on the cultivation of fruits, yet published.”—Zveniug Post.

“lis work is one of the completest, and as we have every reason for believing, most
accurate, to be obtained on the subject.”—-V. Y. Hvangelist.

“ A concise manual of the kind here presented, has long been wanted, and we will ven-
ture to say that, should this volume be carefully studied ‘and acted on by our industrious _
farmers, the quantity of fruit in the State would be double-in five years, and the quality,
to, greatly improved. Here may be found advice suited to all emergencies, and the gen-
tleman farmer may find direction for the simplest matter, as well as those which trouble
older heads. The book we think will be found valuable.”—Newark Daily Advertiser.

“Tt is full of directions as to the management of trees, and buds, and fruits, and isa
valuable and pleasant book.”—Albany Huening Journal.

“The work is prepared with judgment, and founded on the practical experience of the
author—is of far greater value to the cultivator than most of the popular compilations on
ihe subject... Y. Tribune.

‘This book supplies a place in fruit culture, and that is saying a great deal, while we
have the popular works of Downing, Thomas and Cole. Mr. Barry, has then, a field to
himself, which he occupies with decided skill and ability.’”—Prairie Farmer.

PRICE, $1,25. By Mail, pre-paid, $1,50.
