HOW TO PLANT.
Land that has been previously cropped with wheat, corn, potatoes or cabbage, is well adapted for a strawberry plantation, providinz it is well manured, ploughed deep, thoroughly har- rowed and putin first-class condition, and above all, that water does not remain on the ground any length of time aftera rain. This would be ruinous to them, particularly in the fall and 7 spring months, when the ground freezes and / aa .- thaws atintervals. Ourexperience has been that A ya while some varieties fail entirely on light soil, yet the varieties that succeed on light soil in-

POT GROWN PLANTS.
Je We beg to call your special attention to our fine list of pot-grown strawberry plants. The plants are strong and vigorous, and if planted in good, rich soil in the early Spring, will produce a nice lot of handsome large fruit the coming June.
Please Note.—That all varieties not marked (Pistillate) are perfect flowering kinds, and can be planted without planting other sorts with or near them. Also note that it is the reverse with the Pistillate varieties, and that it is absolutely necessary that they should be planted near the perfect flowering kinds. I have known of many failures and serious losses caused by the planting of imperfect varieties, and not properly fertilizing them with the staminate fruits.
SOME GOOD NEW VARIETIES,
Marshall (Perfect Flowers).—The Marshall is positively the strongest grower of any strawberry we have ever tested. I may be inistaben; but I feel assured that this berry has a great future, especially in the home garden and for fancy mar- ket. It comes nearer the ideal straw- berry than anything else I have yet seen. Itis beyond doubt one of the largest (probably the largest) berry yet introduced; the plants are the rankest growers ; away ahead of all others in this respect. In shape con- ical, very regular, each berry like the other; the coloris a dark red crimson; Mp the flesh is solid and dark red; the fy % ff flavor is the very finest. Itis possible Me vi f to ship this berry hundreds of miles. ‘ie ty It ripens in mid-season and continues hae off in bearing until very late in the sea- im i is son.
The above is from our 1896 cata- logue. Now, after another year, we are able to affirm what we then wrote. We fruited the Marshall quite largely last season. It gave us berries for our own table for 26days. All who saw the Marshallin fruit on our grounds were of one opinion—that it was the largest and best flavored strawberry they had ever seen. The writer would go farther, and say that of the several MARSHALL, hundred varieties he has known and is familiar with, not one pleases him as well as the Marshall. We have been recommending the Marshall to all, either for the home use or for market purposes. Our stock of this grand berry is large and fine, and we will make the price as low as we possibly can for good, strong, well grown plants.
Please remember that the plants we offer for sale are grown in beds that have es borne fruit which makes them worth considerable more than the ordinary PISS ge ape

i. Brandywine.—We give this berry second place on our list and believe thatit hasa greatiuture. The plants are very large; in fact, it is hard to decide which is the strongest grower this plant ur the Mar- shall. The Brandywine has perfect flowers, fruit of immense size and fine quality, firm and shapely for so large a berry, foliage of the largest and thriftiest, entirely free of scald or blemish, Heavy peduncles. The average size is as large as any ever raised, and the shape is more uniformily good than that of any other of the largest varieties. In gen- eral it is heart shape, often broadly so without neck. Its most pronounced irregularity inclines towards a Sharpless shape, occasionally as of two berries joined together.. Calyx and Sepal broad, and many medium red, flesh red, firm and solid for so large a berry, none more so, quality not the best, but fully as good as Sharpless, and better than Bubach. Vines exceedingly prolific. Brandywine continues a long time in fruit, and is of a superior shape, quality and size for so large a berry. It BRANDYWINE. ripens in mid-season and continues in bearing late in the season, a very profitable variety and one that is being planted largely. The plants we offer for sale of this variety (as well as of all others) are propagated from plants that have never been permitted to bear—you can readily see that these plants are strong and vigorous aud worth much more than the usual run of plants. Price per doz. 25c., per 100 75c., per 1000 $4.00.
Parker Earle (Perfect Flowers).—The plants «f this variety are exceedingly rank and vigorous growers, with a tendency to make enormous stools. It has perfect flowers and good sized fruit, rather long, with a short neck, firm, of good color and fine quality. We have heard nothing but words of praise for the Par- ker Earle. It is one of the few varieties that is adapt- able to a wide range of country, and thrives well in so many different soils and climates. We are fruiting it on four separate soils, and in each itis a wonder of productiveness. We have counted as many as three hundred and fifty berries and blossoms on single plants in our trial beds and in other parts of our nursery. Let it be understood that the Parker Earle plants are among the few strong growers we have, and are fully able to mature all the fruit set. A great many are under the impression that the Parker Earle is an early berry, and it is quite a common occurrence to have the plants called Parker Early instead of Parker Earle. It is not by any means an early berry, not even a second early, or mid-season fruit. Ripening quite late in the season, it should be known as a late berry. No one can make a mistake by planting this grand variety.
Price per doz. 25c., per 100 75c., per 1000 $4.00.
BEEDES, N Y., Aug. 15, 1896. T. J. DwYER, Esq., Dear Sir—The strawberry plants you sent me arrived in fine condition, and about 20 per cent. over count ordered. The transplanter arrived yesterday and I was surprised to hnd how well it worked evenin our leaf mould soil. Yours truly, : J. H. MAGHEE.
GREYCOURT, N. Y., May 14, 1896. T. J. DWYER, Enclosed please find money order for trees sent to me. I am very much pleased, with trees in good shape and all growing finely. Yours truly. WM. SNOWDEN.
T. J. DWYER, CORNWALL, NEW YORK. v
Greenville (Pistillate).— We are very well pleased with this new berry. We have found the plants good, strong, clean, healthy growers, witha compact, dark, rich foliage, resembling the Bubach in many respects. The fruit, however, is finer and of much better flavor. It is large, firm, dark crimson in color, quite regular in shape and even in size, and ripens evenly all over. It is very productive, and ripens in mid-season. The plants thrive well, wherever we have heard from them. Tue Greenville is to-day a very popular new variety.
The above is taken from our 1896 Spring catalogue. Last season’s fruiting of the Greenville confirms our opinion of its real merit. We believe this berry has come to stay.
Price per doz. 25c., per 100 75c., per 1000 $4.00.
You Can Save Ten Per Cent.—We will allow you a discount of ten per cent. on any order to the amount of $1.00 and upwards, providing the same reaches us before March 15th. (We cannot allow this discount on the family lists named in this cata- logue.)
NG SOME OF THE NEWER VARIETIES.
Wm Belt (Introducer’s description.)—The plant is very large, a most luxuriant
grower, and remarkably productive. At the end of last year’s drougth, early in November, it was not surpassed for green, healthy appearance by any one of over 100 varieties on my place. Its blossoms are perfect, and it seems that each one is followed by a berry. It is medium in ripening—neither very early <A nor very late. Its size is very large in- Za WHC deed. No other variety ever gave me se) so many immense berries. In picking twelve quarts from a matted row with good common culture, I selected thirty- seven that filled three quart baskets, and the other nine quarts were all large. Hh I have seen eight-inch berries on spring | set plants within ten weeks of planting. In form it is conical, rather long and \ quite uniform in shape, except that the first berry on a fruit stalk issome times misshapen, especially with high cul- ture. The color is a brilliant, glossy red—as near perfection as was ever seen in a berry. It ripens all over without green tips. The quality is good.—better than is usually found in large berries.

Good shape for so largea berry. June 9th, berries very large, firm enough for a near market, about the shape of Sharpless. June 11th, large to very large. June 14th, a large yielder of large berries of good form, broad heart shaped, often widening at the tip, one of the most promising of our latter trials. June 17th, past its best.

Price per doz. 75c., per 100 $3.00, per I000 ‘$20.00.
Jersey Market (Pistillate).—The intro- ducer has this to say of it: ‘The berries are bright crimson in color and of large but not mammoth size; being remarkably uni- form in both size and color. They are above the average in firmness, of rich, delicious quality and ripen in midseason. Plant of exceptionally strong, healthy habit and a heavy reliable yielder under all conditions—one that everybody can depend upon and not be disappointed.”’

Michigan (Perfect Flowers).—The introducer has this to say of the Michigan: ‘‘It is not only a handsome berry and firm, equaling in size the Gandy, ot high quality, but ripens ten days to two weeks later than that superb strawberry—in fact, when Gandy is at its best, the Michigan begins to show color upon its first ripening berries. Inform it is bluntly conic, exceptionally uniform in size and shape, and of bright crimson color, with dis- f tinct yellow seeds. The plant is a strong, healthy grower, and very prolific.’’

and so glossy that the light plays upon them and
is reflected as with jewels. During the ten years
we have truited this variety, we have yet to find a

its marvelous beauty it is extremely rich, sweet and sprightly, medium to large in size, and firm.

Eleanor has not fruited at the Orange County Nurseries as yet. Will have it in fruit the coming season ; the plants are very small; it may be very early, but we have but little hope of its rivaling the Sharpless in size.

POT GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
We have a fine large stock of all the following va- rieties grown in pots. Thest plants can be set in the early Spring. and will yield a good crop of fruit the coming season. I would recommend these plants to those who are about to plant a bed this Spring, and are anxious to procure fine, large fruit the first season after planting.
Each plant with its massof rootsand with rich soil attached to them, is wrapped in paper and packed in moss. With this treatment the plant never suffersany drawback, and if planted properly, in reasonably good ground, will begin growing rapidly atonce. One can readily understand how a plant of this kind set in

soil about April 1, thus having over two months to grow before fruiting, will produce a large quantity of handsome fruit.
For the last two seasons we have been unable to supply the demand for these pot grown plants. The call for them is increasing at a rapid rate each year. With this fact before us, and having from thirteen to fifteen acres of strawberries growing at our nurseries, we have grown for this Spring’s trade over 25,000 of these pot grown plants (in addition to the ordinary layer plants that we grow by the million.) We have made the price for them as low as possible for strictly first-class, large pot grown plants, and expect to dispose of all we have early in the season. Please note that the varieties we offer below are the best and most profitable sorts under cultivation. Send in your order for these p!ants as early as possible. Remember, we can ship pot grown plants most any day in the year.

any STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY.
Itcomes to us from Japan and is said to be a hybrid be- tween the Strawberry and Rasp- berry. That the plant is entire- ly hardy without protection and a prolific yielder, we can bear testimony from personal obser- vation of plants in our tnal grounds. In habit of growth the plant is distinct from both the fruits named. The root is perennial, throwing up numer- ous strong branching shoots, which produce large, beautiful berries from early in July until = freezing weather. The berries are globular, slightly oblong in form, ranging in size from 1 to 1% inches long and one to

The Logan Berry (Introducers description in part).—This berry which is a true hybrid between the red raspberry and blackberry, was produced in California; it has proved entirely hardy at the East and North. The berries are of enormous size—fully equalling the largest blackberries, which they resemble in form and structure. In flavor they are rich and sprightly —a mingling of the raspberry and blackberry, mellowed and refined, but distinct from either—and they are melting and without core. In firmness they are like a blackberry and keep a long time either gath- ered or upon the bush after ripe, before spoiling. The flavor is so lucious, novel and rich, the berry cannot fail to please everybody as . a dessert fruit. For canning it is superior to all the other small fruits, and for jellies and jams it is said to be unequalled also.
The canes, which are exceedingly prolific, are of strong vigorous growth. What gives special value to this novel fruit is its earliness, ripening as it does at the close of the strawberry season, and in advance of all but the very earliest raspberries. The past season we gathered ripe berries off it on June 20th, in 1895 on June 24th ; it con- tinuing each year to give us ripe berries for three weeks, perfecting all its fruit, even the last, to full size, firmness, color and flavor.
Good tip plants, each 25c., 3 for 60c., doz. $2.00; 100 $15.00.
RED RASPBERRIES,
FTER preparing the ground the same as you would for strawberries, set the plants six feet apart between the rows, and one foot apart in the row, thus making a continuous row for fruiting, which gives one-third more fruit than by the hill system. Set posts 20 feet apart, and run one wire 3% feet from the ground, and train your fruiting cane to the wire—this is the cheapest
and best method, and is being adopted now quite generally. My stock of raspberries is very fine and large.
To plant an acre of raspberries, as advised above, namely, six feet apart between the rows, and one foot apart in the row, would require 7,260 plants—the number of times six will divide into 43,650, which is the amount of square feet contained in one acre ofland. Some advise planting a greater distance apart in the rows, but we have learned, from many years of practical experience, and from our observation of the plaktations of our neighbors, who have hundreds of acres of raspberries in fruiting withinja radius of a few miles around us, that the distance we advise above is the best, and will give most satisfactory and profitable results,
THE LOUDON RASPBERRY.
(See cut on back cover of catalogue.)
Mr. E.S. Carman describes the Loudon in the ‘‘ Rural New Yorker,’’ in this way: Loudon is the finest hardy red we know of. Some of the berries are nearly round, some are decidedly conical, more so than those of Cuthbert. When ready to pick, thecolor is a bright red, the berry firm. When dead ripe, the color is a darker red, but not at all purple.
August 1.—Now that Cuthberts are gone, Loudon is still bearing.
i4 CATALOGUE OF THE ORANGE COUNTY NURSERIES.
We wish to add to the above valuable and trustworthy evidence our own expe- rience. We fruited the Loudon at the Orange County Nurseries the past season, and we were well pleased with it. The fruit is very large, exceptionally firm, of fine, rich, attractive color, and of the best flavor. The canes are fully as large and strong as the Cuthbert. The Loudon may develop bad qualities as it grows older; but, as faras the writer can learn, and from his own observation, it will become, ere long, a popu- lar market raspberry, something we are much in need of at the present time.
The above was written for our 1896 catalogue. After another years fruiting of the Loudon we are even more favorably impressed than ever with its worth. As grown here at our nurseries the canes are very strong and vigorous, probably larger than either Cuthbert or Marlboro which were without doubt the rankest growers we had in the Red Raspberry. Thus far the Loudon has proved entirely hardy here with us. It ripens three to four days after the Marlboro and continues in fruiting a long time. The plants are so vigorous that the last of the fruit is quite as large asthe first. This, as all well informed fruit growers know, isa very desirable feature forany fruit to possess and particularly so with a good market raspberry. The fruit is very firm and will make a good shipping berry. We have great faith in the future of this berry for
\\. this reason we have made a large planting of it the past fall. \Y Plants each 15c., doz. $1.00, 100 $6.00.
Miller Red Raspberry.—Berry is as large as Cuthbert, holding its size to tne end of the season ; round in shape, color, bright red ; core very small; does not crumble, making it the firmest and best shipping berry in existence; has arich, fruity flavor. The time of ripening is the very earliest. This new berry has given such good results in many places that many large fruit growers have discarded all other va- rieties and are now growing it exclusively. The Miller Red will be a good mate for the Loudon as it ripens several days in advance of Loudon. With us it isa very fine grower. We will fruit it quite largely the coming season.

Vcuth bert.—The best late hardy red raspberry, a variety that adapts itself to all conditions of soils and climates, succeeding admirably North. South, East and West. The canes make a very strong, vigorous growth, and are exceedingly productive of fine, large, late good flavored fruit, which holds its size to the end of the season. The berries are dark crimson in color and quite firm. Per dozen, 30 cents; per 109, $1.00; per 1,000, $7.00.
Thompson’s Early Prolific.—This new raspberry combines extreme earliness, hardiness, vigorous growth and productiveness with beautiful color, firmness and fine quality to a remarkable degree. It commences to ripen toward the close of the strawberry season and giv-s good picking from the first. Those who desire an early red raspberry can safely give this atrial.

Golden Queen.—The Queen is larger than Brinckle’s, firmer, of a much better culor ; the canes are laryer, more produc- tive, and the best of all they are hardy, the lack of hardiness having made Brinckle’s Orange an unpopular fruit. No first-class home fruit garden is com- plete without a good bed of it. It is without doubt one of the finest flavored fruits I have ever tasted, and this voices the opinion of many who tasted the berry on my place.

DEWBERRIES.
HE best manner of cultivating is to set the plants in rows three feet apart and eight feet apart between the rows, allowing them to make a matted row about four feet wide, and to mulch the ground as soon as the blossoms ap- pear, thus keeping the fruit from getting muddy with the rain.
Lucretia.—Is the best varieiy and the one we grow. We have been much inter- ested and delighted with this fruit, which ripens a few days in advance of the black- berry, and is productive of large, fine-flavored, luscious fruit without any core. When people realize the value of this fruit it will be a welcome guest to their garden.
Price per dozen, 50 cents ; per 100, $1.50; per 1000, $10.00.
BLACKBERRIES,
HE ground should be prepared the same as for raspberries. Set the plants eight feet apart between the rows, and eighteen inches apart in the row, thus making a continuous row for fruiting. which gives one-third more fruit than by the hill system. Set posts in the row twenty feet apart, and run two wires onthese posts. Run one wire threefeet from the ground, and
the other wire five feet from the ground,and trail and tie your fruiting canes to these
wires. This is the cheapest and best method, and is being adopted now quite exten-
sively in place of the old hill system. The blackberry succeeds well in most any soil,
and the land would be poor indeed that could not give a good crop of this fruit. The
blackberry is one of the most profitable of fruits, and the demand for it is increasing
very rapidly each year. We have made the growing of these plants one of our spe- . Cialties, and have a very fine, large stock of all the plants named below. We would Le for a chance to figure on any large order for plants.
Eldorado.—It has been in cultivation twelve years, and under careful test at dif- ferent experiment stations for four years. In every case they report it high above any other variety, and all agree that it has never winter killed or failed to produce a full crop of the finest fruit. While itis of superior flavor and very large, the vines will also stand the winters of the far northwest without injury. The fruit has no hard core, but when placed in the mouth melts away, being most pleasing to the taste and very sweet. The yield is enormous, the fruit being jet black, in large clusters, ripen- ing welltogether. Its keeping quality is unsurpassed.
Price each 15c., per doz. $1.00, 100 $5.00.

RE CURRANTS.
HOULD be planted in a good, rich, moist spot. No fruit responds more liberally to manure and thorough cultivation, and none will depreciate more in size, quantity and quality from neglectthan the currant. One great mis- take made is planting too close to each other. For garden culture they should be set five feet apart each way, and for field culture they should be
planted six feet apart each way. Thorough. clean cultivation between the rows and around the plants is essential to the best results. Should the currant worm appear, use one teaspoonful of hellebore to two gallons of water, and with water can or hose spray the leaves with this solution. A syringe can also be used for this purpose.
Prune thoroughly each year by cutting out all the old wood and heading off the new growth one-half each year. The currant is one of our most profitable fruits, and when

properly planted, so as to admit of cultivation both ways, the cost of labor is very slight. We grow currants in very large quantities; and in addition to the large and fine stock we have to offer for sale this Spring, we have now in the ground for the Fall trade of 1897 and the Spring NG 1898, over one hundred thousand plants
and cuttings.
Fay’s Prolific.—This has fully sustained the broad claims which were made for it by the disseminator upon its introduction ; and it is decidedly the best red currant we have. It has been widely planted, and has given general satisfaction. The bush is a strong grower, wonderfully prolific, and comes into bearing early. Fruit large, bright red, and of good flavor and less acid than cherry, which it is rapidly superseding. Those who want a profitable red currant should plant this variety.

GOOSEBERRIES,
OOSEBERRIES require the same treatment in planting, pruning and cul- tivation as recommended for the currant. With a little care in keeping off the currant worm, and fair cultivation, enormous crops can be grown, and profitable results can be had in growing govoseberries. Owing to the im- proved varieties and to good results obtained from spraying for the last
three years, the gooseberry has becume very profitable, hence very popular, and is
betng planted very extensively.
Red Jacket.—It is a new gooseberry, and the best red one in existence, with good foliage, mildew proof, productive, fruit of excellent quality. This berry seems to be of especial value on account of its claim to be mildew proof—which will be an acquisition to people residing in localities where other varieties mildew badly.
Plants, one year, each, 30 cents; per dozen, $2.00. Plants, two years, each 35 cents ; per dozen, $3.00.
Golden Prolific.—Fruit is large, of a deep golden yellow, of excellent quality, and very attractive in appearance. A heavy fruiter, and, I believe, is destined to be- come as popular as the Industry
Price. one year, each, 25 cfats; per dozen, $1.50. Plants, two years, each, 30 cents ; per dozen, $2.00.
Industry.—The best English gooseberry yet intro- duced ; of vigorous, upright growth; greatest cropper and freest from mildew of any of the English varieties ; berries of the largest size, one and one-half inches in diameter, and one of the most excellent flavor, both pleasant and rich ; color, when fully ripe, dark red.
Price, one year, each, Io cents; per dozen, $1.00; per 100, $7.00. Price, two years, each, 15 cents; per dozen, $1.25 ; per 100, $8.00.
Downing.—Very popular, large, pale-green, good quality; bush vigor us, hardy and prolific. One of the best varieties ever intro- duced. This noble variety, named after the lamented Charles Down- ing, has not been surpassed for : general purposes. It is free from mildew, being a native seedling. It forms a handsome, large ae ghee Ss bush, and the fruit hangs in thick and close rows
eneath.

HARDY GRAPES.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
The best soils are those containing more or less clay, with a mixture of disinte- grated rock, rotten shale, small stones, limestone, etc. Gravelly and sandy soils are often admirably adapted to the grape, as is also a sandy loam or alluvial soil when well drained. In short, the grape may be successfully grown in anydry soil of suffi- cient fertility to produce a good farm crop, if climate and exposure are favorable.
The only necessary preparation of the soil is thoroughly to plow and pulverize it to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. If naturally poor, it should be enriched by a liberal application of thoroughly rotted stable manure, when it can be had, bone dust, ashes, or other available fertilizers. Of the commercial fertilizers, those containing a large percentage of potash and available phosphates are most desirable.
When ready to plant, stake out the ground in rows, eight or nine feet apart, and six to ten feetin the row. Dig the holes about two feet wide and fifteen inches deep, loosening the earth thoroughly in the bottom, throwing in two or three inches of sur- face soil. Before the vines are taken to the field the tops should be cut back, so that when planted only two or three buds will be above grottgd, and the roots shortened to ten or twelve inches.
The Alice Grape.—The Alice grape is a native seedling of unknown par- entage, found on a farm in Ulster County, N.Y. After Io years testing by the side or along with 20 other varieties, it is now offered as the coming grape. Itis especially valuable for its long keeping qualities ; this has been fully proved ; kept in an ordinary cellar, with- out cold storage or special care, they will at the end of Winter, in February and March, be sound, plump and sweet. The value of a grape of high quality that can be held and marketed at any time during Winter will be conceded by every grape grower. The fruit is a pale red grape, darker when grown in shade, with abundant lilac bloom; about the size of Catawba ; of fine flavor, high quality, free from foxiness, rich in saccharine; pulp meaty and tender, with few seeds and small; sweet to the center; skin thick and tough, without astringency. The vine is exceptionally vigorous and strong, many branches making 20 feet or
= —_ more growth in a season. Wood very hard, rip.us uniformly. Foliage healthy, large, thick, heavy, dark green, free from mildew ; prolific—from 4o to 60 clusters on a well developed vine; very hardy. (We believe it will prove to be one of the hardiest varieties grown.) Average weight 6 to 12 ounces, medium size, compact, mostly slightly shouldered,

FRUIT TREES--APPLES,
Plant Thirty Feet Apart Each Way.
The proper season for transplanting fruit trees is during the months of March, April and May, in the Spring. October, November and December, in the Fall, or at any time after the cessation of growth in autumn until they commence budding in the Spring. If the ground is not in good condition, it»should be made so by the application of a considerable portion of well-decomposed manure or fertilizer of some substantial kind. Most soils would be benefitted by the application of a good coat of lime or wood-ashes, which should be well mixed with the soil. When the ground is prepared, dig the holes sufficiently large to admit the roots, giving them their natural position as near as practicable. Use the surface soil for filling in, having it first well pulverized.
We have avery complete list of all the best varieties, a large and handsome lot of trees, and would request you to send us a list of the stock you are in need of; we think we can please you both in quality of goods and prices.

PEAR TREES,
Plant twenty feet apart each way.
Pear trees prefer a rich, heavy soil; still on light soils made rich by the use of fertilizers, the fruit is of the best quality. The branches should be thinned out occa- sionally ; most varieties require heading back, especially when trees are young.
The fruit is much improved if picked before it is ripe ; it never should be allowed to ripen on the trees. The fruit of winter varieties should be left on the trees as long as possible, then stored in a cool, dry cellar, and removed to a warm room for ripen- ing as wanted.
We have the largest and finest stock of pear trees we have yet had ; we have made our prices very low on this account, and hope to dispose of our stock early in the season Should you contemplate planting largely of this profitable fruit, please send us a list of the varieties you need, when we will send to you our lowest estimate by return mail.

Price for No. 1 trees, 4 to 5 feet, each, 20 cents; per dozen, $2.00 ; per hundred, $15.00.
PEACH TREES.
Plant The Trees Twenty Feet Apart Each Way.
Peach trees will not give good results in the orchard without thorough cultivation but set around and near buildings, in sheltered nooks, will live much longer and give greater satisfaction, and, singularly enough, thrive better if the ground about them is not disturbed.
Be sure that the soil is well supplied with potash. Muriate of potash is the most desirable form to apply. Wood ashes may be used toa good purpose if readily ob- tainable. Bone dust and ashes is one of the best fertilizers.
Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nursery, and make the soil very firm. It is very important that the young tree should be properly pruned at the time of planting. Allside branches should be cut back to within a few inches of the main stem, the latter being severed at about two-thirds the distance from the ground. Small trees should be pruned to a whip, cutting back the stem nearly one-half the way tothe ground. The after culture is very simple, being merely to keep the sur- face always mellow and free from weeds. For the first two years after planting, hoed crops may be planted between the trees with advantage.

_ (Sweet).—The cherry thrives on any good land that is not excessively wet, and is naturally a hardy tree, succeeding in lightest soil and dryest situations. The Heart and Bigarreau varieties are of rapid growth, with large, glossy leaves, forming fine, pyramid shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious fruit ; are well adapted for planting along the streets, or in yards as shade trees.
XS NEW VARIETIES.
Mercer Cherry—It is larger than the Black Tartarian and finer flavored. Itisa splendid shipper and always brings the highest prices in the market. In 1891 there was a glut in the cherry market, but we cleared $2.00 per basket, and one tree yielded between thirty and thirty-one baskets of fruit. In 1890 we had more cherries on our tree than was picked from any other two trees in the neighborhood, and they netted us over $2.50 per basket (sixteen quarts).
In 1892 it again proved its superiority over all other varieties by producing a full crop of fruit, free from worms or rot, while other varieties were totally destroyed by rot.
Price for trees, 6 feet and up, 50 cents ; per dozen, $5.00.
Centennial—Comes highly recommended as the best shipping cherry ever known. The fruit is of immense size ; beautiful amber-shaded red, with very firm yet tender flesh ; sweet, rich and luscious. It is a seedling of Napoleon Bigarreau, which it resembles in appearance, but is much larger. Early.

PLUMS.
Plant Twenty Feet Apart Each Way.
The plum shows its best production when planted on heavy, well-drained and rich soil. Tosecure fine fruit it is necessary to be guarded against the curculio, a small brown insect, which stings the fruit, causing it to fall before maturity. To guard against this insect the trees should be jarred each morning early, while the dew is yeton. Spreading sheets under the trees, insects falling on them can be easily discovered and killed. Fallen fruit should be burned or fed to swine. As soon as blossoms have fallen, continue for two weeks. The cost of protecting large orchards will not exceed ten cents per tree for the entire season.
JAPAN VARIETIES.
These are somewhat different from our American sorts, being of much more vigorous growth ; they are very productive, and the fruit can be shipped a long dis- tance and arrive in splendid condition. Their chief value is the fact of their coming into bearing a short time after being planted.
Price for any of the varieties named (all on Plum stock) trees, 5 to 6 feet, 30c. each ; $3.00 per doz.; 100 for $15.00; trees, 7 to 8 feet, 50c. each ; $5.00 per doz.; 100
Nor $25.00. | :
Abundance—lt is exceedingly hardy. Its propensity for early bearing is such that before it leaves the nursery row the limbs bend with the weight of fruit until they sometimes break, and this is the case every year—the curculio having no effect
on it ; the fruit is large, showy and of a beautiful amber shade.
Satsuma—A purple fleshed plum from Japan, of very vigorous growth, with rank, dark green foliage ; enormously productive of fruit ; large and handsome. Pit but little larger than a cherry stone. Fruits at two or three years of age. Considered the most valuable of Japan plums.
‘Y Burbank—The fruit is usually from five to five and a half inches in circumfer- ence, and varying less in size than other Japan plums, nearly globular, clear cherry- red, with a thin lilac bloom. The flesh is a deep yellow color, very sweet, with a pent and agreeable flavor. Ogon—A handsome, very desirable Japanese plum. Large, nearly round, of a bright yellow with faint bloom ; flesh firm, sweet, rich and dry. Excellent for can- ning. Last of July.

GARDEN ROOTS. ASPARAGUS PLANTS.
We have a fine, strong, large stock of the varieties named ; our plants grown on good soil, such as we have here in Orange County, are nearly twice the size of those grown by the majority of dealers.
After preparing the ground thoroughly, and freeing it from all stones, roots or other rubbish, plant for garden culture, three feet apart be- tween the rows, and one foot apart in the rows ; for field culture set the plants four feet apart between the rows and eighteen inches apart in the rows. In either case be sure to set them one foot below the surface of the ground, cov- ering the plants not more than three inches deep ; every ten daysor so after, or as the leader shows over the soil, fill in again, and use this method of covering until the leader is above the surface of the ground. Many failures of plants to grow, that have wrongfully been charged to the inferiority of the plants, have been caused by the planting in these deep trenches and filling in over the plants level with the surface ground at the time of plant- ing, the plants decaying in the ground for want of air, because of this deep covering ; then let it be remembered that while it is of the first importance to get the roots deep in the ground, it should be accomplished in the manner described above.
Write to us for prices on 5,000 to 50,000 lots. Our stock is very fine and large.
