7° those who have not had an opportunity to visit POMONA NURSE-
RIES, the following unsolicited notices from the press may give some

information :
From the West Jersey Press.

Judge Parry, of Parry P. O., N. J. the well and widely known fruit and
berry culturist, has in the process of propagation a new variety of Pear, Keiffer’s .
Hybrid, which gives promise of great productiveness and profit. His long ex-
perience and conceded skill in this department.of agriculture are quite sufficient
to give a large sale to any fruit he endorses. No man in this country has done
more to bring to notice the triumphs of fruit and berry culture than he has, and
to him more than any other man, perhaps, is the country indebted for the fruits
with which our markets have been supplied, A 5

From the Journal of Commerce.

GHE POMONA IQURSERIES.

In 1838 Mr. William Parry commenced, on a comparatively small scale, theg:

nursery. business. From that date to the present he has cultivated the same
homestead farm of over three hundred acres, and which is known throughout
the country by its title of Pomona Nurseries. It is the finest and most extensive
in the State of New Jersey (being located about eight miles from Camden, on the
Westfield Pike.) Of its large acreage, about one bundred are devoted to the
culture of the smaller fruits. Every new fruit is carefully tested before being
sent out to the public. Mr. Parry has supplied some of the largest fruit farms
in the country and seldom loses a customer once made. There is no danger of

getting any inferior stock from the Pomona Nurseries, as Mr. Eee s experience

of fifty years enables him to judge pretty well the products of his largefarm. His
main attention is given to fruits, and much is due to him for the increased inter-
est taken in fruit culture in this State and section. His list comprises fine assort-
ments of apples, dwarf and standard pears, plums, peaches, quinces, nectarines,
apricots, grapes and all the smaller fruits. In these latter Mr. Parry is not ex-
celled or equaled by any other grower in the country. His Seedling Straw- |
berries are known all over the Union, while his Gregg and Queen Raspberries
are premium winners wherever they go. The Gregg is a black berry, larger,
firmer and better flavored than the greater number of r@d berries. The Queen
is red, and is fine and large, selected specimens measuring three inches around.
Tt is a wonderful grower, profuse and yielding a firm berry that does not settle
down and bruise in the boxes. Growers will do well to pay Mr. Parry a visit
and examine his nursery. They will find what could not be told in the Journ
under a couple of columns at least. Such a visit would be more than repaid
Mr. Parry’s address is Parry P. O., Burlington County, New Jersey.

Fruits Grown for Market and Plants for Sale."
ANNOUNCEMENT.

The business of Pomona Nurseries, will be continued under the firm name of

WILLIAM PARRY,

As heretofore, by his sons John R. and William Parry, who have had the active management
for some years, and who trust that by close application to the business and careful attention to
the best interests of their customers, they will merit a continuance of their liberal patronage,
and maintain the valued reputation the firm has earned and enjoyed the past fifty years.

Purchasers cannot fail to appreciate the advantage of dealing directly with a well-known
firm, that has been engaged fifty years in raising fruits for market, and testing all varieties, over
that of buying of irresponsible agents, dealers and others who are but little acquainted with the
business, having no fruit of their own growing to sell or exhibit.

The Nurseries are located on the branch of the Westfield and Camden Turnpike, two miles
from Riverton, three from Moorestown, eight from Burlington and Philadelphia. A steamboat
leaves the latter place for Riverton several times daily, and the cars running between Philadel-
phia and New York stop at Riverton. Stages running between Pomona Nurseries and River-
ton station connect with trains east and west. For time see first page of cover.

Packages for us should be directed to Riverton, N. J., either by express or by freight,
and Money Orders should be drawn to Moorestown, (not Morristown) P. O., Burlington County,
N. J., and sent to WILLIAM PARE Y, Parry P. O., New Jersey.

NOTICE TO PURCHASERS.

Having had fifty years experience in raising small fruits, with one hundred acres now in
cultivation at our nursery, testing new varieties as they come into notice, and discarding those of
least value, we now offer for sale a select list that can be relied on for profit. The prominent
points ae LARGE SIZE, HARDY AND PRODUCTIVE FRUITS.
Tt has been found that of the many new seedlings that are annually brought forward, but com-
paratively few retain superiority long. Our experimental grounds, on which the different varie-
ties are grown under similar treatment, although expensive, are interesting and useful to those
about to form new plantations, and all such are invited to visit our nursery and inspect the differ-
ent fruits in bearing.

The character for accuracy, promptness and fair dealing which this establishment has earned
and enjoyed for more than fifty years, renders it unnecessary for us to publish a list of references
or testimonials of assurance that we give prompt and careful attention to all orders with which we
are favored, or of the volumes of letters in evidence of our perfect packing, good condition in
which plants are received, satisfactory count, etc.

Fruit grwers cannot fail to realize that success depends upon getting GENUINE, PURE,
WELL-GROWN plants, CAREFULLY and SECURELY packed. As we have devoted one-half century
to the business, and having in our employ, at the heads of our several departments, men who
have been with us a quarter of a century and more, and are conversant and familiar with every
peculiarity and characteristic of the different varieties of trees and plants, which, under our sys-
tem of cultivation, guarded care, etc., render it next to impossible for our stock to become mixed
er impure, or to suffer in transportation ; and as ‘‘ practice makes perfect,” we are enabled to
furnish trees and plants PURE and UNMIXED, at the LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES.

4 POMONA NURSERIES.

Our packing season for Spring begins March 1st, and our first shipments are to the most
extreme points South and to the Pacific coast. In the Fall we commence in September, and
continue through October and November.

When plants are received, take them from the packages, loosen the bunches and dip the
roots into a puddle of clay before setting. DONT LEAVE THEM IN THE PACKAGE AND POUR
WATER ON THEM, as they will surely heat and spoil.

In presenting this, our semi-annual catalogue, we are pleased to announce that our stock of
trees and plants is of unusually good quality, more extensive than in former years, and that the
utmost care and best attention will be given all orders,

Being in direct communication with Philadelphia and New York, our shipping facilities are
unsurpassed. while our experience and system of packing enable us to send trees and plants by
mail or express in safety to any part of the country, however distant.

PLAN OF ORCHARDS.
A. Apple. S. Standard. D. Dwarf Pear, Plum or Peach.
ONrE ACRE WILL CONTAIN, AT 30 FEET APART, 48 APPLE TREES, 3) STANDARD PEARS, 82
DwakF Pear, PEACH, ETC.

The advantage of planting fruit trees‘on the above plan will be readily seen. By setting
the Apple trees 30 feet apart, and filling in with smaller growing trees, the Standard Pear occu-
pying the space between the four Apple trees, and being an upright pyramid grower, they do
not interfere with each other.

In 1863 we planted an Apple Orchard, setting the trees forty feet apart each way ; then set a
row of Richmond Cherry trees each way between them, requiring three times as many Cherry
as Apple trees ; then a row of Dorchester Blackberries in rows and between them, being ten feet
apart ; then a row of Strawberries between them, leaving five feet space for cultivation. Next
year, 1864, the Strawberries produced the only crop gathered ; they yielded $200 per acre. In
1865, the Strawberries yielded about half as much, and after picking the fruit the vines were
plowed under, and turnips planted in July, which produced a good fall crop. The same year
the Blackberries commenced to bear a little and send up a vigorous growth of canes which gave
a full crop of fruit in 1865, and continued to do so for five years, yielding over $200 per acre
annually.

The next year they did poorly, and have been removed, to give more room to the trees,
which now sufficiently occupy the ground.

‘Lhe Cherry trees commenced bearing the third year and have borne full crops every year
since, the quantity increasing each year with the size of the trees. For several years the fruit
has been worth from $200 to $3800 per acre, and sometimes more. One year we contracted
with a canning factory near by for the whole crop at ten cents per pound. There were eighty
trees to the acre, and many of them yielded seventy-five pounds each.

The Apple trees have a fine growth, and bear large crops of fruit. The Cherry trees in the
Apple rows begin to crowd them and will soon be removed, while those standing in the centre of
four Apple trees will have plenty of room for many years, and can remain, leaving as many rows
of Cherry trees forty feet apart as of Apples on the same ground. By pursuing the above plan,
there may be taken from $200 to $300 worth of fruit per acre annually, before the Apple trees
acquire size enough to bear much fruit, and thus avoid the usual objection urged against planting
of Apple orchards, viz., that it requires so long a time before any profit can be derived from the
land thus occupied. The same principle will apply to any distance between 30 and 40 feet. and
each planter can decide for himself according to the ground to be devoted to fruit. As the heaviest
draught upon the soil is when the fruit is ripening, if all mature at once, they might exhaust it of |
moisture and nourishment, but as they ripen gradually, following in succession, the intervening
showers supply each crop as well as if there were no other. By this plan we get 165 trees to the
acre, and it is much easier and cheaper to fertilize and cultivate 165 trees to one acre than to have
them spread over 5 or 6 acres, to say nothing of the land saved for other crops. Every farmer
should have at least one acre of orchard on the above plan, which should yield $5 per tree. But
at half that sum they will give more than $400 per acre, with less labor than other crops that
yield but small returns,

THE LAWSON PEAR.
Introduced and for sale by William Parry.

A vigorous, upright grower, with clean, healthy foliage. In an existence of one hundred
years it has never been affected with blight or other disease. Very productive snd bears young ;
fruit large, some specimens nine inches around; firm and good shipper ; most beautiful red
color on yellow ground ; flesh, crisp, juicy and pleasant, though not best in quality ; ripening in
Central New York middle of July to first of August. The fruit sold this last summer at $2.50
to $4 per bushel.

Our claims for the LAWSON are that in the past century, or three generations,

It has never been known to blight. It is the earliest large Pear.
It is a vigorous, upright grower. It is the largest early Pear.
It is an early bearer. It is the most beautiful Pear.
It is very productive. It is the most salable Pear.
It is a good shipping Pear. It is a good eating Pear.

All of which combined render it the most profitable early pear known.

Having introduced the KIEFFER, an Octoher Pear, with such gratifying results to the
planters some of whom have set from five to ten thousand trees, we have every confidence that
in introducing the LAwWsoNn, a July Pear, from its many valuable features as a market fruit, will
meet with the same success.

If Is THE LARGEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL PEAR, OF GOOD QUALITY, RIPENINC in July in
New York State, and when grown in the Middle and southern States. where it will ripen several
weeks earlier, and shipped to northern markets, the value as a profitable fruit is apparent.

8 POMONA NURSERIES.

W. W. Thompson, the most extensive pear grower of Georgia, writes: ‘‘I expect great
things of the LAwson Pear, if it is as early as claimed and of as good color. The tree I
know will flourish here equal to the Le Conte; at least that is my opinion from my experience
this year.”

The original tre, estimated to be one hundred or more years old and shows the impress of
ages, still stands healthy and vigorous in a cleft of a rock in a clump of bushes with no chance
of cultivation.

Wilmer Atkinson, Farm Journal, says: ‘‘ This Pear promises to make a sensation. The
prominent features are that it is the Javgest early Pear and so fine in appearance that it must
meet with a ready sale on the fruit stands of the cities.”

Joun McC.Eary, a successful fruit grower of Riverside, N. J., states his LAWSON PEAR
Tree set Spring of 1885 produced Four Large, Handsome Specimens in 1886, fully equal ia
size and beauty to the representations, and ripened early in July, and that he considered them a
very valu ble market Pear.

This variety has recently been called the Comet by a propagator, and sold as a mew pear,
which it is not. Comet is only a new name given to this old variety that has been growing on
the Lawson Estate more than oxe hundred years, and is still grown there by the acre.

KIEFFER’S HYBRID PEAR.

INTRODUCED BY WILLIAM PARRY.

This new variety is ungestionably a great acquisition to the list of choice fruits. It is
the best of two hundred seedlings raised from the Chinese Sand Pear, crossed with a cultivated
variety supposed to be the Bartlett, which was growing near by the original Sand Pear tr e,
from which the seed was obtained in or about the year 1868. This seedling tree commenced
fruiting in 1873 when about five years of age, and has yielded well every year since several
bushels have been gathered of a season. The Chinese Sand Pear, as is well-known, is consid-
ered blight proof, remaining green and vigorous in situations where other varieties blight and die.

ORIENTAL TREES.

This race of Pears is remarkable for its vigor of growth, luxuriant foliage, extreme hardi-
ness, and freedom from disease—so that they have been valued as ornamental Lawn Trees, and
although the'r fruit is not of the best quality, it has a peculiar quince like flavor, which, com-
bined with its firmness, makes it superior to any other variety for canning, excelling even the
justly famous Bartlett for that purpose.

10 POMONA NURSERIES.

Of these Oriental Pears the Old Chinese Sand Pear has been most extensively grown and
considered the hardiest, and as far as we are aware has never been attacked by blight or any
disease, so that it is generally considered to be blight proof.

After another year’s experience it is gratifying to us, the introducers, to state that the
Kieffer Pear still heads the list as the most profitable late market variety. The trees con-
tinue thrifty, rank and vigorous. In our twenty-five acres of Standards every individual tree is
a perfect picture of luxuriant health, and are yearly producing an abundance of fine handsome
fruit, while orchards of other varieties adjoining are blighting badly.

Our claims for the KIEFFER are:

That the tree is the strongest grower. | That the fruit is of large size.
That it is the least liable to disease. | That it is of beautiful color.
That it is the best adapted to all climates : That it is a good keeper. ;
and conditions. ; That it is the best for canning.
That it is the earliest bearer. | That it is the best for shipping.
That it is the most productive. | That it sells at the highest price in

That it bears every year, having no off years. market.

All of which being combined in one variety, place it beyond competition.
Our trees are of unusually fine growth, and entirely free from quince-sap.
In considering the requisites for a popular market pear, we will name the following :

I. A tree of vigorous growth, with luxuriant foliage.
2. A tree that will come into bearing young and produce large quantities of fruit.
3. A fruit of good size, good quality and attractive appearance in market.

4., A fruit that, should one market be overstocked, can be shipped to whatever city will
return the best prices.

&. A fruit that ripens at such a season that the market is bare, which will guarantee good
prices.

The above all being united in Kieffer’s Hybrid, it cannot fail to become a general favorite.

In our nursery rows our four-year olds produce one-half peck or more of fruit per tree and
many of the three year olds bend undet their heavy crops of fruit. Our six and seven year olds
in orchards last fall produced four to six and some ten baskets per tree, which sold in market at
highest prices, which advanced as customers became more familiar with the fruit.

QUALITY AND APPEARANCE.

To get the best quality and the most delicate flavor, Kieffer’s Hybrid, like most pears,
should not be allowed to hang on the tree until it falls off of its own weight, but should be
gathered when fully grown, and ripened in the house, when, like the Bartlett, it will color up
nicely, which, with its rich glowing red cheek, combined with its delicious perfume, gives it
attractions with which but few can be compared.

At the International Exhibition, held in Philadelphia in 1876 by the U. S. Centennial Com-
mission, the prize medal and certificate of award was given to P. Kieffer for this variety. The
committee report as follows: ‘‘ He exhibits a Hybrid Pear of Remarkable Excellence, between
the common pear of cultivation and the Chinese Sand Pear, giving promise of a Mew Race of
Great Excellence.

The Pennsylvania Fruit Growers Society Reports :

“Of the Seedlings of China Sand Pear it seems proper to state that Kieffer’s Hybrid has
fully held its own the past year, and so far has proved to be all that was claimed for it, in
quality as well as in fruitfulness, vigor of growth and freedom from disease.

And the fall, 1881, we had on exhibition, at Burlington County Agricultural Society, held
at Mt. Holly, N. J., trees 1, 2, 3 and 4 years old, the latter showing 17 handsome pears,
measuring from 8 to 12 inches around. We were awarded a special medal for this variety.

And whenever exhibited at State or County fairs, it has always been awarded the highest
premium by the Society, and received the marked attention and special admiration of the
visitors,

In addition to the many Medals, Prizes, Honorable Mentions, Favorable Notices, etc.,
which we have received from the various exhibitions and Horticultural Societies, we were
awarded a SPECIAL PREMIUM for our exhibit of KIEFFER’S HYBRID PEARS, at the
American Pomological Conyention, held in connection with the Penn. Horticultural Society,
Phila., Sept. 1883, showing two four-year-old trees, dug from Nursery rows, and bearing from
forty to fifty pears each.

At the World’s Exposition at New Orleans, La., 1885, where there were displayed 20,000
plates of fruit, our Kieffer’s in competition with the /izest and dest pears of the world, were
awarded the following Grand Prizes and Medals -

The Kieffer Pear, in competition with the finest and best pears in the world, received more
prizes, more premiums and awards than any other variety, showing that its sterling merits and
rare good points of excellence were recognized and appreciated by the eminent Judges.

As a canning pear, Kieffer’s Hybrid has no equal. Heretofore the canning of pears has
been of little interest compared with that of Peaches and Tomatoes, from the fact that the
Bartletts, the best variety canned, ripens at a season when canners are running to their fullest
capacity on peaches and tomatoes, which require to be handled very quickly and to work
‘the Bartletts would be at the expense of the other equally perishable fruits.

Kieffer’s Hybrid has all the desirable canning properties of the Bartlett, and, in addition, a
preference of season. Ripening in October and November, after peaches and tomatoes are out
of the market, the canners can give it their entire attention and extend their season another
month.

Although upon our first acquaintance with this fruit we recognized its sterling merits and
rare good qualities, yet our confidence continues to strengthen as we gain experience in it.

As Fruit Growers are aware of the many impositions practiced by unprincipled dealers in
new and rare fruits, and can appreciate the value of a genuine article over that of doubtful
purity, I take this occasion to state we have twenty-five acres in orchards, containing five thou-
sand Kieffer Hybrid Pear trees, a \arge proportion in fruiting, among which are the original
trees, procured from the Originator, from whom we are propagating our stock for sale.

And although our stock has been carefully grown from healthy standards, the advantages
ef which our customers will not fail to realize over those propagated from dwarfs, yet as our
supply is large and complete, we will not be undersold, and should they be offered by any re-
sponsible dealer or grower at rates below those of this Catalogue, we will furnish at the same.

This rule may also apply to Strawberry, Blackberry, Raspberry Plants
Grape Vines, or any other Stock we quote.

WONDERFUL PEACH.

This WONDERFUL PHACH was first brought to public notice at Mount Holly
Fair, October 11th to 16th, 1886, where its large size, handsome color, yellow, with red cheek,
late ripening and good keeping qualities, attracted much attention and admiration from the
many thousands of visitors and was awarded a first Prize and Silver Medal by the
Society.

Being impressed with the remarkable merits of this Peach, THE POMONA NURSERIES pur-
chased the original and only tree, with exclusive privilege of buds, fruits, etc. To assist in its
dissemination we have disposed of a part interest to two other nurserymen and will now book
orders to be furnished, in rotation, until stock is exhausted.

The WONDERFUL PEACH is very large, late, handsome, yellow with red
cheek, flesh yellow, quality excellent, and will keep a long time in good condition; a good
shipper; free stone; pit small; valuable for canning or preserving; tree a strong, healthy
grower and very productive, ripening second week in October. :

To protect our customers and the public from being imposed upon,
we adopted a * TRADE MARK LABEL” as herein repre-
sented. One will be attached to each tree, and mone are genuine
without i. The Label should be removed before planting.

OPINIONS OF SOME LEADING FRUIT MEN.

David Baird, an extensive Peach grower, says: It was large size, fine flavored and
very showy.

HE. Rue says: Its large size, fine appearance, excellent quality and lateness for ripening
will make it a great acquisition to our list of late peaches.

A, -J. Caywood, Marlboro, N. Y., says: It is larger than Crawford’s late and excel-
lent quality.

Albert Hamselt, originator of Hansell and Rancocas Raspberries, says: For its late-
ness of ripening, size and flavor, it has no superior.

Ino. LT. Lovett, Editor ‘‘ Orchard and Garden.” says: In beauty, productiveness and
other desirable qualities it transcends all others to such a degree that the word 66 wonder-
ful” unconsciously escapes so many upon seeing it that it became known at once as that
*‘ Wonderful Peach.’’ Hence that name has been accepted for it, contrary to the wishes
of its owners, by the force of circumstances. It is a free stone of the richest golden yellow,
largely overspread with vivid carmine, and ripens after nearly all other peaches have disappeared.
Its keeping qualities are as remarkable as it is beautiful.

E. Witliams, Secretary N. J. State Horticultural Society, says in ‘‘Rural New Yorker’’:
Aside from its size, appearance and good quality, I was surprised at its keeping so well. The
specimens were sampled freely every day, and the remainder, on Saturday, the last day of the
Fair, were still in good condition. The /Vonderfi is a rosy cheeked, yellow skinned, yel-
low fleshed, free stone Peach of large size and excellent quality.

RUSSIAN APRICOTS.

The Russian Apricot is claimed to be in every way superior to the American varieties in
eatly bearing and quality of fruit, as well as hardiness of trees, and freedom from all disease,
worms and insects, that have been so destructive to trees and fruit of the peach and plum. In
extremely cold locations, where the mercury falls to 46 deg. below zero, the Russian Apricots
have passed through the winter safely, while the Americans by their side have been killed to
the ground,

KELSEY’S JAPAN PLUM.

ABUNDANCE. (@®escription of Introducer.)

This is a remarkable fruit indeed; both in tree and fruit it is unlike any other Plum.
In growth it is so strong and handsome as to render it worthy of being planted as an orna-
mental tree, equaling in thrift and beauty the Kieffer Pear, which z¢ even excels in carly and,
profuse bearing.

Its propensity to early bearing is such that it loads in the nursery row, bending the limbs
with weight of fruit until they sometimes break, and this is the case every year. The curculie
having no effect upon it, the eggs failing to hatch and produce the destructive grub the same as
with the Spaulding The fruit is very large, showy and beautiful. Amber, turning to a rich,
bright, cherry color with a decided white bloom and high perfumed. Season early—August.
Stone small and parts readily from flesh. Price, $1.00 each ; $10.00 per doz.

We endeavor to handle our plants in the very best manner. They are carefully cleaned,
the roots straightened and neatly tied in bunches of fifty each. In furnishing orders we take up
the beds solid and the purchaser receives the strongest and best plants made during the season
of growth. These are worth much more than plants dug from the alleys, which are the last
efforts of the runners, and are apt to be small and weak.

LIDA.

A promising seedling raised from E. W. Durand’s large
strawberry, the King Cluster, in 1880. It is a pistillate
variety, large size, very productive, bright red color, heart
shape, regular and uniform in appearance, ripens medium
to late, firm in flesh, a good shipper and excellent quality.
Producing as many berries as Crescent, and much larger
in size.

CRIMSON CLUSTER.

Originated by E. W. Durand, and grown by him a
number of years as his best market berry.

The introducer claims that 3,000 plants, set August 15,
1885, produced in 1886, in less than ten months, an aver-
age of a quart to the plant ; 3.000 quarts from the 3,000

plants, or at the rate of 20000 quarts per acre. Very
large, rich crimson color and excellent quality.

CLUSTER OF BOMBA STRAWBERRY.

POMONA NURSERIES. 17

A seedling of Orimson Cluster, a strong grower, and having a perfect blossom, we
claim for it the same advantages over its parent that the Parry has over the Jersey Queen, an
abundant crop without the aid of another variety. Strong grower, healthy foliage, fruit large
size, firm. a good shipper, rich crimson color ; flesh, dark red ; ripening the earliest among
twenty-five varieties. On account of color and firmness, it is especially desirable for preserving
and canning, so that one extensive Conserve Co. has for the past three years contracted for
Our crop at prices far above the market rates for the best berries. We have for several years
grown the BOM BAé as our most profitable Strawberry, but at the earnest solicitation of its
many admirers, will offer a limited quantity for sale.

PRICE. — $1.00 per doz., $4 00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000.

Jos. T. Lovett, an extensive and successful strawberry grower, says: The Bomba
received from you Spring, 1886, for testing, passed through the winter remarkably well, and
such a yield of beautiful dark colored berries could not be found anywhere in Bucks Co. The
yield was enormous. [I had some canned and never had any to equal them in that respect. I
have been growing strawberries twenty-five years, but have never had anything like the Bomba.
Everyone who saw them was pleased with them.

Theo. F. Baker, Ex-President N. J. State Horticultural Society, writes: The
Bomba Strawberry plants you sent me to test in the Spring of 1885, I am pleased to report
most favorably. I have now harvested two crops of fruit from them, grown in matted rows
and hill culture. I pronounce them one of the most profitable berries I have to-day among
twenty-five varieties. As proof of this I have set but four varieties for next season’s fruiting,
and Bomba represents one-fourth the quantity.

Bomba is a vigorous grower, foliage good, fruit stems short but stout, berry large to
quite large, round. conic, bright dark red in color throughout, texture very firm, quality fair
to good. Staminate, and with me ripens ahead of Gypsy. May King or Crescent Seedling,
and in yield compares favorably with either. Ripens evenly with no white tip. I consider it
a valuable variety.

THE PARRY STRAWBERRY.

AWARDED THE FIRST PREMIUM FOR THREE
YEARS at the strawberry fair of the Moorestown
Acricultural and Industrial Society, as the best
variety on exhibition, and has again surpassed all
others, over fifty varieties, at Pomona Nurseries,
and received three more first premiums and two
more SPECIAL AWARDS at Moorestown, Vineland
and New York Strawberry shows. Also the first
premium and sweepstake prize over all other new
varieties at Providence, R. I.

A seedling of Jersey Queen, produced in
1880, and may be described as follows: Plant
vigorous, clean foliage ; berries uniformly large in
size, obtuse conic, bright, glossy scarlet, firm and
of best quality—ripening all over at once ; blos-
soms hermaphrodite or perfect. The Jersey Queen
was considered by its originator, E. W. Durand,
and by its disseminator, Peter Henderson, and
others, to combine more excellent qualities than any other strawberry. The Parry possesses all
the good qualities of the mother parent, Jersey Queen, with the addition of a perfect blossom,
ensuring productiveness under all circumstances, and is believed to be a variety of infinite value.

E. S. Carman, in Rural New Yorker, January 30, 1886, writes: ‘‘ We like the Parry for
its large size and symmetry of berry ; for its quality and earliness. It gave us the finest early

berries last year.”
MAMMOUTH.

This we believe to be the largest berry on the market. The introducer exhibited the past
summer at Moorestown, N. J.. four full quarts. in which there were but fifty berries respectively,
as follows: Eleven in the first, twelve in the second, thirteen in the third, and fourteen in the
fourth. Some of the berries weighed as much as one and one-quarter ounces each. Rich crim-
son color, firm and good quality. Plant a strong, vigorous and healthy grower.

Monmouth.—“ This berry satisfies a keenly-felt want, namely, a strawberry of the
general character of the Crescent, with a perfect flower, and possessing the same everlasting
foliage and great productiveness. The Monmouth fills the bill in every respect. In fact it is
an improved Crescent, fifty per cent. larger, earlier, firmer, of the same bright, attractive color,
and with a perfect blossom. The plant has the healthy, enduring foliage of the Crescent, but
excels it in size and thrift, forming larger, stronger plants. This berry has been fruited in
‘different seasons, on different soils, and under different systems of culture, and as it has in-

itself one of unusual merit.”

GOLDEN QUEEN.

This new Raspberry, introduced by J. T. Lovett, originated on the farm of Ezra Stokes, in
Camden Co., New Jersey, and is described by him as an improved Cuthbert, of a beautiful yel-
low color. He saysit may be fittingly described as a variety of six cardinal virtues viz: 1. In
flavor it rivals that venerable and highest in quality of all Raspberries, Brinkle’s Orange. 2. In
beauty it transcends all other raspberries [ have ever seen ; being of a rich, bright, creamy yel-
low, imparting to it a most appetizing effect, both in the crate and on the table. 3. In size it-
challenges the large Cuthbert. 4. In vigor it fully equals its parent (the Cuthbert), and resists
heat and drought even better. 5 In productiveness it excels the prolific Cuthbert. 6. In hardi-
ness it has no superior. In past unprecedently severe winters several rows of it stood wholly
unprotected at one side of a large field of Cuthberts, all of which were badly killed, while not
a branch of the Golden Queen was injured.

MARLBORO RASPBERRY.

The Marlboro is claimed to be equal to the Cuthbert in every respect, and two weeks
earlier.

Lucretia Dewberry. Claimed to be the best of the Blackberry family. As hardy
as Snyder; as productive as any. The berries are far larger, and incomparably better, than
any Blackberry, and of unequalled excellence—soft, sweet and luscious throughout; of
brighest, glossy black color. The Lucretia Dewberry has received the endorsement and highest
praise from the best horticulturists in the country. Its eminent success in all soils, from Maine
to California, from Minnesota to Florida, is something phenomenal in small fruit culture. Its
trailing habit renders it less liabie to winter-kill.

Erie Blackberry. Claimed to be as hardy as Snyder, as vigorous as Kittatinny ;
very productive, free from rust or double blossoms, good quality, round in form and as large as
Lawton.

Wilson Junior. This new and improved variety, now attracting so much attention,
was raised from the seed of selected fruit of the O/d W2lson Harly—the largest, handsomest,
best and most profitable blackberry known at the time of its discovery, in or about the
year 1854, by John Wilson, of Burlington county, N. J., and produced more bushels and more
dollars than any other blackberry sent to New York or Philadelphia in the last quarter century.

The new white grape, NIAGARA, promises to be the best market
grape. As an evidence of our faith we have planted nearly four thousand
vines of them, which have yielded handsomely of large beautiful clusters of
excellent fruit.

WOODRUFF RED GRAPE.

__ This very large and handsome grape is a seedling of Concord, originated
with C. H. Woodruff, Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1874. The vine is a very strong
grower, free from disease, and very hardy, never having been injured by the
cold in the slightest, without any protection in winter, though the thermometer
has reached 20 degress below zero very often since its production. Bunch
large, shouldered ; berry very large and does not drop from stem. Exceed-
ingly showy and has taken first premium over all competing varieties where-
ever shown. Its large size, both in bunch and berry, bright color and general
attractiveness, makes it especially valuable for market, it being sold in the Ann
Arbor market for three times what Concords were selling at.

MOORE’S EARLY

Combines the following desirable qualities: Hardiness, size, beauty, product-
iveness, earliness, and is entirely exempt from mildew or disease. It originated
with J. B. Moore, of Concord, Mass., is one selected out of 2,500 seedlings,
and is described as follows; BuNcH, large; BERRY, round, large, (as large as
Wilder) black, with heavy blue bloom; Quatity, de/fer than Concord ; very
early ; ripening ten day before the Hartford, and twenty days before Con-
cord; VINE, exceedingly hardy; has never been covered in winter, and has
‘been exposed to a temperature of more than twenty degrees below zero without
injury. ‘‘It first fruited in 1877, and was then exhibited at the Exhibition of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, since which time it has constantly
been before the discriminating Fruit Committee of that renowned society. It
has been awarded no less than thirteen First Premiums of the above society,
and in the year 1877 was awarded a special premium of sixty dollars. At the
winter meeting of the Western New York Horticultural Society, 1878, Presi-
‘dent Barry named it as the best new sort yet offered.

MOORE’S NEW DIAMOND GRAPE.

This fine new white grape was raised by Dr. Jacob Moore (the originator
of the famous Bricuton) and is a hybrid between the Concord and Iona.
The vine, a pure native, is very vigorous, with dark healthy foliage. It has
proved very hardy without protection, and is extremely prolific. Bunches
large, compact, slightly shouldered ; berry, greenish-white, tinged with yellow ;
about the size of Concord ; skin smooth, free from spots or dots. In guadity
it is claimed to be superior to any other white grape of recent introduction.

EATON,
A healthy, vigorous vine, free from mildew, character of Moore’s Early and
Pocklington. Bunch, very large, compact, often double-shouldered ; berries
very large, many one inch in diameter, round, black, covered with a heavy
blue bloom ; adheres firmly to the stem ; skin thin, but tough, with no bad
taste ; pulp large and tender, separating freely from the seeds. Quality equal
to or better than Concord. Very valuable.

JEWELL.

Description of Originator: Bunch, medium, often shouldered, compact ;
berry medium, black, with a heavy, fine bloom, handsome; skin thin, tough ;
pulp tender, rich, spicy, sprightly and sweet to the centre; seeds few, very
small; quality best, pure, equal to Delaware; vine vigorous, hardy and very
productive; never known to rot or mildew. Season a week before Victor and
of decidedly better quality ; will hang on the vine a long time after ripe with-
out wilting.

VINES AND PLANTS BY MAIL.

We invite special attention to the great accommodations now offered by the Post Office
Department of sending by mail, vines, plants, seeding trees and grafts in packages of four
pounds or less (peach trees sent by mail in dormant bud and June buds only); so that all who
are within reach of the best nurseries, and desiring to get supplied with stock make selection
from catalogue of the kinds wanted. Send P. O. Money Order on Moorestown (not Morris-
town), N. J., or checks or drafts on Philadelphia or New York, or if bank notes are sent the
letter should be registered—and the plants will be returned by mail, safely packed in moss and
oiled paper.

Strawberry plants at the dozen rate will be mailed free. At the rates per 100, 15 cents
additional must be remitted to pay postage. Raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants
will be sent by mail post-paid, if 25 cents per 50, or 40 cents per 100 be added to the price;
to grape vines add 80 cents per 50, or 50 cents per 100; at the single or dozen rates they will
be mailed free.

By the above arrangements, wherever there is a Post Office, parties ordering may be sure of
getting a first-class article delivered to them as safely as their letters.

Thus every family throughout the whole country has the opportunity of securing, by a smal
outlay, a complete and valuable collection of Small Fruits, Trees and Plants.

Reports Concerning Wilson Jr. Blackberry.

In Orchard and Garden for October, 1886, J. T. Lovett, states: Wilson Jr. produced
some very large berries and fruit in good abundance. Its yield is enormous, and it seems to be
hardier (coming through the past severe winters without protection) than the old Wilson. In
size of fruit, quality and general appearance of fruit and plant it is very like the old Wilson.

E. S. Carman in Rural New Vorker Sept. 11, 1886, states, in giving the prominent points
of the different Blackberries: “If you plant the Wilson Jr. you will get more berries perhaps

than from any other kind, if the plant will endure your climate. It however is hardier than its
parent the Wilson.
